Pyramids of Mystery Review
Pyramids of Mystery is an ancient Egyptian slot from Retro Gaming on a 5×4 grid with 10 lines. Pyramids and desert relics set the scene.
Ten lines on four rows
Lines pay from left to right with line bets from 0.01 to 10. The top symbol pays 60×, 300× and 1,000× the line bet for three, four and five.
Egyptian themes usually mean a book game; this one uses synced reels instead.
