Though available a dime a dozen, Ancient Egypt-themed slots remain as popular today as ever before. So much so, that Merkur Gaming as recently as late last month launched a brand-new slot featuring those very images slots enthusiasts have come to cherish and look for in a game. Pyramids of the Nile is quintessentially Ancient Egypt at its very best.
True to the look and feel of just about every other Ancient Egypt slot we’ve had the pleasure of playing, Merkur’s Pyramids of the Nile too, is a classic show of retro-looking graphics. It would hardly make sense to create a modern-day game based on the lives and loves of an ancient civilization, after all.
What does make Merkur’s latest release well worth a shot is a combination of special symbols, RTP ratio, and easy style of play. Featuring a standard setup of 5 reels and 30 paylines, the game presents a super promising 97.05% Return-to-Player ratio. This should make it super easy for players to work they way toward the 600x maximum payout.
Special features have been included aplenty and include Regular Wilds, Stacked Wilds, Scatters, and a Free Spins Feature.
Represented by the Sphinx, the Wilds will complete winning combinations by substituting for standard symbols – with the lone exception being the Scatter bonus symbol.
The Scatter, which symbol is displayed in the image of a Pyramid, is a special symbol indeed as it’s the key to unlocking the Free Spins Feature. Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatters during a single spin will automatically trigger 10, 25, or 100 free games for landing those ultimate wins.
