Escape the Pyramid - Fire & Ice

The legend whispers of hidden treasures worth up to 5,000x the bet, waiting to be discovered within the labyrinthine corridors. With stunning visuals, an engaging theme, and thrilling gameplay, this slot is a captivating addition to Pragmatic Play’s portfolio.

Escape the Pyramid - Fire & Ice is a 6x6 video slot that employs a scatter-pays system, where wins are achieved by landing 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid. The game’s volatility is medium, making it suitable for players who enjoy a balance between frequent wins and high-risk excitement. Players can place bets ranging from $0.10 to CA$250 per spin, with an RTP that varies between 96.50% (default), 95.50%, and 94.50%, depending on the operator.

Set within a grand Egyptian tomb, the slot’s visual design is immersive, featuring intricately detailed backgrounds, mystical symbols, and an upbeat soundtrack that enhances the atmosphere. The explorer character stands at the side of the grid, appearing unfazed by the dangers ahead, adding a lighthearted touch to the game.

The low-value symbols are represented by various coloured gems (purple, green, red, orange, and blue), while high-value symbols include artifacts like a chalice, a ring, a scarab, and an ankh cross. Landing 36 identical premium symbols on the grid awards payouts ranging from 150x to 500x the bet. The Wild symbol, depicted as a golden disc, substitutes for all regular symbols and offers an impressive 1,000x payout for a full blackout.

Cascading Wins

Winning symbols disappear from the grid, allowing new ones to cascade down and potentially create additional wins. This mechanic continues until no new winning combinations appear.

Fire Feature

At the start of each spin, certain positions are marked with Fire or Ice emblems. If the Fire Scatter lands on reel 1, all marked Fire positions turn into Wilds. Additionally, for each cascade occurring before activation, a multiplier increases by +1, boosting any subsequent wins containing Wilds.

Ice Feature

Triggered when the Ice Scatter lands on reel 6, this feature transforms all Ice-marked positions into a random paying symbol. Following this, three respins occur, featuring only blanks and the chosen symbol. Special icons may also appear to enhance rewards:

Upgrade: Advances the chosen symbol to the next one in the paytable.

+1 Spin: Grants an additional respin.

The final win is determined based on accumulated symbols and is further boosted by the pre-existing cascade multiplier.

Fire & Ice Feature

If both Fire and Ice Scatters land simultaneously, the Fire & Ice Feature activates. It plays out like the Ice Feature but replaces the marked positions with Wilds instead of a specific symbol. Once the respins conclude, the game evaluates all winning combinations and applies any accumulated multipliers for additional payouts.

Ante Bet

Players can double their chances of triggering the Fire or Ice Features by activating the Ante Bet, which increases the stake by 100%.

Feature Buy

For those who prefer instant action, the Fire & Ice Feature can be purchased for 100x the bet, allowing immediate access to the slot’s most lucrative bonus round.
