Play Pyramid of Gold for Free

There are few game developers in the world of video slots that command as much of respect and trust as Casino Technology does. Having been in operation for over one and a half decade, Casino Technology has carved a niche of its own in the penny slots field, where even the newcomers can enjoy freely by putting at stake small amounts, all the while getting a hang of how slots work.

Some of the characteristics of Casino Technology slots – like simplicity and crudeness of graphics – are, however, not to be found in Pyramid of Gold. Instead, the gameplay seems to be just a notch above being ‘simple’, and graphics a shade more delightful than what we expected at the onset.

The background of a mysterious wall replete with arcane hieroglyphics and two oil torches shedding some spooky light create a perfect ambiance for the reels to unfold the story of your fortune. Be careful, though – in the world of pyramids, there is no turning back.

The gameplay here will come as a routine exercise for those who have played a good deal of slots. With 5 reels of 4 rows and 50 paylines, the possibilities are fertile enough to turn every wager into a win – however small – provided that you know how to tackle the classic payline conundrum.

A tip might come in handy here. For slots where reel to payline ratio is less than 0.2 (as is the case in Pyramid of Gold), it’s often more sensible to activate as many paylines as you can. You can wager a maximum of 50 coins per spin, where each coin can be valued between 1 cent and 10 cents. The paylines here are all static, and hence, there is no room for showing off your skills (we’ve got Microgaming slots to do that, anyway!).

The symbols used in this slot all allude to the rich Egyptian Mythology and Egypt the country. Base game symbols include spooky, masked faces (watch out – they are a bit frightening!), a set of glossed over cards (J, Q, K and A), a golden eagle and a ferocious panther. A native Berber mask in two varieties seems to pay out the best. Get five of these in one row and you are free to take 400 coins home!

But mere 400 coins (worth an underwhelming sum of $40) are not enough to persuade slotters – not even the newcomers. Hence, quite predictably, Casino Technology has upped the stakes by offering a wild and a scatter for players to take advantage of.

A solitary wild here is a gold idol of a fictitious Pharaoh. When the Son of the Sun smiles upon you, you won’t even need your lucky stars. While helping you complete half-formed combos, Pharaoh will also give you a shot at winning 1,000 coins straightaway. But there’s a lot more in the well!

The scatter of this slot – the Pyramid of Gold, itself – can appear as many as three times in one spin (don’t bother looking at the 1st or the 5th reel!), unlocking 5 free spins in the process.

With the famous gamble feature of ‘Suits and Colours’, you can easily add to your loot. The drill is simple – guess the colour of the card in the gamble round to flat-out double your winnings, or even better, guess the suit to quadruple them. Phew! Can a climax get any better? We don’t think so!

Pyramid of Gold is a fiercely competitive slot where you can enjoy the gameplay as much as the graphics and sound effects. Although not much can be said about the payouts (they are very thin, to be honest), we would still recommend this one to players who just need to kill their time spinning a few reels, all the while soaking in the rush that real money slots are famous for. Spin away at ease, and you’ll do just fine!
