Bonus Rounds and Payouts
There is a lot happening in Egypt in terms of bonuses, with The Pyramids of
Ramesses featuring free spins, a gamble option plus a progressive jackpot to
spice things up a notch.
Free Spins
This is the main feature and is triggered by landing three
pyramid scatter symbols anywhere on the second, third and fourth reels. Once
activated, you will receive 15 free spins. If you land three more pyramids
during this feature, you will be awarded the Pyramid Bonus. Here you are
taken to a screen with stones that make up a pyramid. You must pick one from
the bottom row to reveal a prize to be won. You will work your way up the
pyramid, collecting prizes along the way until you reveal the Collect
message, which ends the feature. If you make it to the top of the pyramid,
you could win up to 200x your total bet.
Gamble Feature
All wins, with the exception of the progressive jackpot,
can be gambled by pressing the Double button. Here you have a chance to
double your wins by correctly guessing which downwards facing card beats the
dealer. And incorrect guess means you will lose everything.
Progressive Jackpot
This jackpot can be triggered by landing five of the
Pharaoh symbols on an active payline. To trigger this jackpot you must be
playing the maximum number of lines and the amount you win will be based on
your stake.
Additional Game Features
