Book of Pyramids

Intro

The captivating mysteries of Ancient Egypt continue to amaze in this day and age. Egyptians had an obsession with death, mummification, and the afterlife.

In general:

Although it is frightening, we cannot help not to admire their greatness at the same time! ARE there some video slots inspired by this marvelous civilization? Of course, there are!

BGaming has offered us a peek inside the tomb of a long-deceased pharaoh and intrigued our imagination with this cleverly made non-progressive game.

Theme

Deep inside the pyramid rests a pharaoh who passed away prematurely at the age of 19. His sarcophagus is guarded by two Anubis statues…

…the one on the right is standing upright with a spike in his hand, while on the other on the left, the late pharaoh is depicted in his complete jackal form. The room where the young man rests for eternity is made out of limestone embellished with hieroglyphs that tell the story of his godly life.

The reels look like a chalkboard whose edges are made from limestone and are decorated with peculiar writing.

Characters

You will find most of these illustrations in the majority of Egypt inspired games, although, that doesn't mean they do not possess any charm and beauty.

A special symbol called "Scarab" is dipped in gold with a ruby above its head. The Mask of Tutankhamun would be the first of the regular characters…

…the next would be a cat that Egyptians considered holly, then an Ankh, the Eye of Horus, and signs we are all familiar with like A, K, Q, and J.

Betting Options and Functions

Here, the layout has a standard setting made out of 5 reels and 3 rows with a maximum number of 9 pay lines, however...

…you can change the number of active pay-lines from 1 to 9!

This is great for those players who like a bit of a challenge. The lowest bet value starts at 0.1, while the highest would be a humble 1.

Another option that can be modified is “auto spin”. There are possibilities regarding when should the rotations stop and it can either…

…cease after it finishes a number of spins, on any win, if the player comes out of the bonus game triumphed, if a single win passes the typed amount, or even if the cash number increases or decreases to a certain point. The choice is yours!

Features Explained

Like in other "BGaming" similar looking creations, "Book of Pyramids" doesn't have a vast range of special features, however; those that it has should not be so easily disregarded.

The "Scarab" is a special symbol and it can replace any of other characters!

If 3, 4 or 5 scatters appear anywhere on the reels they can...

…activate 11, 22 or even 33 extra spins!

Our Take

The overall impression of this video slot game is positive. For people who are fans of the pyramids, Pharaohs, Sphinx, and the river Nile…

…there are other installations out there that have taken these as inspiration. The design is satisfactory, as well as the overall gameplay so it is at least worthy of trying.
