9 Pyramids of Fortune Review

Connoisseurs will immediately understand what 9 Pyramids of Fortune is about from the title alone. It’s an obvious 9 Masks Of Fire copycat job from Stakelogic partner, Hurricane Games, and it plays out in ancient Egypt. The visual presentation gets the job done without being anything too special, and the game revolves around the scatter jackpot prizes.

This risk/reward is somewhat higher in this version, but you’re multiplier dependent with regards to bigger payouts. Without the Gonzo-style multiplier going your way, the top-tier scatter prize is worth only 300x your stake. In the bonus round you’re at the mercy of an upfront wheel spin, as this can award a top multiplier up to x10. In short, this is a somewhat more volatile version of 9 Masks of Fire, with a tumbling wins multiplier trail thrown into the mix to make it stand out.

9 Pyramids of Fortune Features

First of all, you need to decide if you want to play with the Super Stake ante bet active, or not. It will cost you twice the regular amount per spin, but it also doubles your bonus round chances by adding extra scatters to the reel strips.

The golden scorpion Wild steps in for all regular pay symbols to help you complete winning combinations.

All winning symbols are removed from the reels via the Avalanche feature, and you’ll see new and/or existing symbols drop down to fill the gaps. The Multiplier Meter you see above the reels becomes active, and increases one step per cascade. It starts at x1, and moves to x2, x3, x4 and x5 in the base game.

You need between 3 and 9 Pyramid Scatters collected in the same spin sequence to win a corresponding scatter prize from the table on the left-hand side. The scatter prizes are upgraded as you move along the Multiplier Meter, and the starting range is 1 to 300 x your stake.

You need to collect 4 golden scarab Scatters in the same spin sequence to trigger the Bonus Round. If you manage to collect 3 scatters in the meter, these are held in place for the next spin sequence. When the feature is triggered, you get a spin on the Free Spins Wheel. This awards between 8 and 15 free spins, and it also upgrades the Multiplier Meter range.

The lowest starting multiplier will be between x2 and x6, and this means that the highest possible multiplier will be x6, x7, x8, x9 or x10, respectively, for the 5 different tiers. You can win Pyramid Scatter Prizes also in the bonus round, and the highest possible prize will thus be 3,000x your stake (x10 multiplier boost). Any new scatter that lands awards +1 extra spin added to your tally.

Finally, non-UK players, and anyone in an eligible jurisdiction, can take advantage of the Bonus Buy feature. Simply hit the ‘Buy Bonus’ button up in the right-hand side corner, and pay 100x your stake to trigger the feature directly.

The 200 Spins 9 Pyramids of Fortune Experience

We grinded along in the base game for a while, and you get to see a smaller pyramid scatter prize being landed. This happens right before we purchase the bonus round at 1:10 into the 3:44-minute highlights video, and the wheel gave us 12 free spins with an x3 multiplier.

Review Summary

We’ve seen plenty of 9 Masks of Fire copycats since late 2019, and 9 Pyramids of Fortune is a decent enough addition to the trending genre. The ancient Egypt theme is nicely done, but still a bit clichéd, and the big difference introduced here is the Gonzo mechanic Multiplier Meter. We like that it affects both regular wins and scatter jackpots, but then again, without any multiplier action the scatter prizes aren’t all that interesting.

We purchased the bonus round 5-6 times, and it didn’t seem that hard to get 15 spins and an x6 multiplier from the wheel. This could be beginner’s luck or whatever, but at least it’s not something that only happens once in a blue moon. The overall 3,496x potential is certainly higher than what’s on offer in the obvious source of inspiration, but you pay the price in form of a somewhat lower RTP and higher volatility.

Pros

• Tumble wins multiplier meter
• Scatter jackpots up to 1,500x (3,000x)
• FS w/ boosted multiplier meter range
• Win up to 3,496x your stake

Cons

• Low scatter prizes without multiplier
