Platinum Pyramid

As its name would suggest, the Platinum Pyramid video slot game takes its inspiration from the mysteries of ancient Egypt. But we have to say, other than a few symbols, the similarity to other Egyptian-themed games ends with the name.

The symbols we mentioned are well-designed. They include a platinum pyramid that's animated with an inner light, an ankh, the Eye of Horus, a flower, and a "priestess" who we're sure is supposed to be reminiscent of Cleopatra, but looks more like a generic modern-style model. Players will also see the usual nine, ten, jack, queen, king and ace symbols in sparkling platinum.

But unlike the golden sand colors of the usual Egyptian fare, everything here is in blue and platinum. And there's something we've never seen before – the spin button, designed like the play button on music apps, only appears after each spin. It's not there at all times. Between this and the player info dashboard in a small strip up top, as well as the large symbols, this is an easy game to play on a smaller device.

All set-up stuff, customizations and parameters you want can be found behind the cog icon in the upper-right corner. But before each spin, you can adjust your wager by clicking on the coin icon connected to the spin button.

The player has five reels with three rows each, and a total of twenty pay lines. The priestess is a wild for every symbol but the pyramid. The pyramid is the scatter symbol; when three or more appear on the reels, it triggers a free game feature. You get five free games for three pyramids; 10 free games for four; and 15 free games for five. During each free game, all wins are tripled.
