Platinum Pyramid Slot Machine
Not your typical Egyptian-based slot game, it is yet another Egyptian-themed slot game (yawn). At first glance, the most obvious difference between Amaya’s Platinum Pyramid online slot and other similarly plotted video slots is that it is adorned with some bling, namely platinum. But does it have anything unique to offer in terms of features and play? Let’s see what it has to offer.
Meanwhile, Somewhere in Egypt…
Platinum Pyramid is laid out across 5 reels and utilizes 20 paylines to formulate winning payouts. The Pyramid, the Ankh, the Priestess, and the Eye of Horus symbols all point the slot towards ancient Egyptian culture, but are adorned with platinum to make for a more contemporary and modern look. The simple graphics, however, are almost too plain for such a shiny slot. You may or may not be pleasantly surprised when you see the animations associated with combination wins.
The Priestess, who has an uncanny resemblance to Cleopatra, is the wild symbol and will substitute all other symbols apart from the scatter Pyramids to complete winning pays. More so, you will be awarded with 7,000X your line bet coins if you are lucky enough to hit 5 Priestess symbols on one active payline. This is the game’s standard and highest paying jackpot.
Free Spins Serves as a Bonus
The Platinum Pyramids scatter symbols will activate free spins. It will require at least 3 scatter symbols to appear in one spin to activate the feature. Three Pyramids will award 5 free spins; 4 scatters will award 10 free spins; while 5 scattered Pyramids will award 15 free spins. In addition, all prizes incurred during free spins will be tripled, and free spins can be retriggered by, again, 3 or more Pyramids appearing on the reels.
The Platinum Pyramid Bet Limit Scale Runs Wide
With a betting range that runs from 0.20 to 100.00 coins for all 20 lines, this slot offers a wider betting range than most online slots, which makes up for its simplicity somewhat. By including more betting budgets, Platinum Pyramid the slot will appeal to a wider audience of players, even if it is the umpteenth online slot designed in Egyptian style with the same old relics and usual suspects fancied up.
At the End of the Day…
Platinum Pyramid will be a sufficient solution to many online slot players needs; however, there are far better slots out there, and even far better slots set in Egypt. For those looking for cheap spins and don’t mind the minimal free spins feature being the only added element of the game, it will be sufficient and even enjoyable. But for the more critical slot players who are looking for action and an impressive design, IGT’s Cleopatra slot comes highly recommended, as does the Book of Ra Deluxe online video slot by Novomatic.
