Pyramid Quest for Immortality Slot Review

Not long before Christmas 2017, the news reported that a recent survey of the famous Pyramids of Giza in Cairo Egypt, has revealed the existence of previously unknown chambers deep within the structure. It is incredible to think that these structures, the only ancient Wonder of the World still remaining, is still offering up its secrets to archaeologists and researchers to this very day.

It is this great unknown about the Pyramids that makes them such a fascinating topic for so many and of course, the stories behind them have inspired not just many films and TV series, but also a number of high quality slot games. One of these is the NetEnt 720-ways to win slot Pyramid Quest for Immortality which is available to play right now at the hugely popular Leo Vegas Casino.

The slot is loosely based on the Gods of Light and Darkness, both of which experts believe are key principles in the design of the original Pyramid structures. In this slot, the Gods guard the riches of the Pyramid and it is your quest to try and earn your share of the loot contained therein.

The first thing you will notice about this 5-reel slot is that it has an unusual layout. Indeed the 3x4x5x4x3 layout of the slot has been specifically designed to replicate the look of a Pyramid. It’s a small touch, but a nice one and with the backdrop depicting the Egyptian God Anubis all encased in a golden glow, it is all rather atmospheric and very nicely designed. Not that you would come to expect anything less from NetEnt.

You can wager from £0.01 up to £2.00 as your individual coin value but your total bet is a minimum of 10 coins. You can increase the size of the bet by increasing the Level indicator which goes from 1 to 10, where Level 1 is a 1 x your coin size bet and Level 10 is a 10 x your coin size bet. This gives you a betting range of £0.10 up to £200 per spin.

The jackpot on a single winning line is a rather modest 500 coins but this can be increased by winning across multiple winning lines, triggering additional wins in addition to this and by activating what is the key feature of the slot, the Avalanche feature, which we will explore in more detail below.

With all these factors that means a potential win of up to 3,600 times your bet is available to be won on a standard spin and that amount of money will certainly attract plenty of jackpot hunters, especially those who like to play for more cash per spin than the average lower stakes player.

Pyramid Quest for Immortality Key Features

The first thing you need to know about the slot are the symbols on the reels and the lower value symbols which offer wins from 1 coin up to 7 coins are the playing card low symbols, from 10 through to the Ace. I was a bit disappointed to see these included on the slot as I felt there are plenty of Egyptian themed items that could be used in place of the playing card symbols, but one positive is that it is easy to identify these symbols on the reels from the others.

Alongside the five lower value symbols, there are also three medium value symbols and these are the Snake, the Bird and the Fly/Beetle. These offer wins from 2 coins up to 10 coins when landed across the reels.

Higher value symbols are the two different death masks. Nefertiti is the lower of the two offering wins from 5 coins up to 25 coins, while Tutankhamun’s Death Mask is the highest standard symbol offering wins from 5 coins up to 50 coins.

The other key symbol on the reels to note is the Wild symbol which can substitute for all of the symbols on the reels to create one or more winning lines on a spin. Best of all though, if you land a Wild at the top of the second, third or fourth reels and it helps land a win, then the Wild will remain in place when the Avalanche feature is triggered following the win.

The Avalanche Feature is the main feature of the slot as Pyramid Quest for Immortality does not have a free spins bonus round. When a winning line is triggered, the symbols involved in the win will flash and disappear and any symbols above them will drop down on the reels and new symbols added to the reels to replace them. You can trigger additional wins this way and it is by landing multiple Avalanche wins that you can land some of the bigger value wins in the game.

Each time you land three Avalanche wins in a row then the Avalanche Multiplier increases from 1x up to 10x, increasing the potential size of your wins markedly. By putting a lengthy streak together of Avalanche wins, especially using Wild symbols, you can land some of the much larger wins available in the slot.

It is worth noting however that the Pyramid Quest for Immortality slot is a very volatile game and it can prove expensive to play at times, although if you hit a big win, you can win a considerable amount of money should you get lucky.

How to win at the Pyramid Quest for Immortality slot

To enjoy success on the Pyramid Quest for Immortality slot you need to have a large bankroll and a great deal of patience. Most of the single spin wins in this game are very small and often, you won’t make back more than you wager. So the ability to absorb a run like this without emptying your account is key.

In truth, patience is your only way to land success because you need to trigger a lengthy Avalanche Feature in order to land the higher value multipliers which can then turn some of these smaller coin wins into something considerably larger. These don’t come along too often however, so you need patience and to adopt a longer-term view on this slot in order to unlock the riches in contains.

This isn’t a slot for gamers that enjoy slots with plenty of features as this has only the Avalanche feature in the game, but if you enjoy slot gaming at its simplest, but with the opportunity to win some big money, then Pyramid Quest for Immortality is well worth a closer look.
