Slot Summary

Rise of Pyramids answers a specific design brief: put cluster pays, tumbling wins, and hold-and-spin collection onto a futuristic Egypt board. Pragmatic Play uses a 7x7 layout with a 95.97% RTP and medium volatility, then separates two bonus routes. Money symbols open respins, while Scatter symbols lead to free spins with an increasing multiplier.
MechanicsTumbles feed exploding Wilds and a rising bonus multiplier

How It Plays

Winning clusters require at least eight matching symbols connected horizontally or vertically. Those symbols are removed, allowing replacements to fall into the open spaces and form another cluster.

The octagonal 7x7 board has no conventional paylines. Results depend on connected symbol groups, while tumbling replacements allow one paid spin to produce several consecutive evaluations.

Theme & Atmosphere

Ancient Egypt receives a Futuristic treatment, with Egyptian gods presented through science-fiction armor and an octagonal board rather than a conventional temple-reel layout.

Mythology and Treasure remain recognizable, but the Fantastic technology motif changes their tone. The game treats pyramids as the meeting point between antiquity and imagined machinery.

Features & Win Potential

A Wild removes adjacent symbols whenever it contributes to a tumble, including neighboring symbols outside the winning cluster. That clearing effect can create additional space for replacements.

Cascading and Avalanche behavior carry the base game, while Money and Scatter symbols divide the special features. Each symbol type opens a different continuation route.

Bonus & Free Spins

Four or more Money symbols activate three respins. Money symbols remain fixed, every new one resets the count to three, and the round ends when respins expire or the board fills.

Four Scatter symbols award 10 free spins, with two extra spins for each additional Scatter. The round can retrigger under the same four-Scatter condition.

Free-spin wins receive a multiplier starting at x1. Each tumble increases that multiplier by x1, linking longer tumble sequences directly to larger modified awards.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (Medium). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (95.97%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (5,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
