About Book of Pyramids
Bgaming’s Book of Pyramids is another one of the zillion ancient Egyptian-themed slots you can find doing the rounds on the net. At the same time, it is also one of the many book slots that are popular right now with players at casino sites. Book of Pyramids has Bgaming’s usual array of top-notch graphics, but when it comes to special features and originality, those tend to come up short here. The same is true of most book slots, though, so we won’t hold that against Book of Pyramids. The slot features the five reels and nine lines to the slot, which is one fewer than we’d typically expect in a book game. However, stakes are as cheap as chips, with wagering ranges stretching from 0.10 up to 9.00 a spin. Why not 0.09 per spin, given that there are only nine lines? You’d have to ask Bgaming that. What we can say is that there is a non-progressive jackpot worth 9,999x a bet here, and that is marginally more than most other book slots.
Special Features
As with any book slot worth its salt, there are scatter wilds to take advantage of here. These appear as scarab amulets and can perform the job of both substitute symbols and bonus triggering icons. Scatter wilds are also the best-paying icons in the game and can deliver wins worth up to the 9,999x a bet mentioned above. You’ll need five on a line to bag that prize, though.
Scatter wilds can also trigger the game’s free spin bonus, as you might expect. Just try and land three, four of five of these amulets to activate the game’s singular bonus round.
Bonus Feature
Triggering Book of Pyramids’ free spin bonus with three, four or five scatters will ensure that you start the bonus with 11, 22 or 33 free spins. This is far more than many other book slots can muster. Most of those only offer ten. However, there is one more difference that is worth mentioning here, and it is kind of a big one.
Most book slots, such as the similarly themed Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead, or Novomatic’s Book of Ra, offer an expanding symbol (chosen at random) in the free spin bonus round. It seems that this isn’t the case with Bgaming’s Book of Pyramids, and that will undoubtedly disappoint players.
