Guardians of the Pyramids

Venture to Egypt for an unusual adventure with the Guardians of the Pyramids slot from Northern Lights Gaming. The pyramids have been scrutinised for many years, with some suggesting that an alien force may be responsible. Guardians of the Pyramids makes everything crystal clear with a visual explanation that sees the structures ready for lift-off! But the striking design is just half the story as there are cash prizes too, with up to a potential x11,000 payout for the top combination. 

The bizarre graphics don't extend to the slot, which is reassuringly familiar with a 5x3 grid and more than 60 million ways to win. Yes, you did read that right! The Ultraways mechanism means that every symbol can split into 2 or 4, providing the potential for enormous wins for a full screen.  

The min bet is just 0.20 but can be increased incrementally up to the max bet of 20.00. The volatility is high, so you'll have to be patient for prizes to land, but there's a better chance of a larger payout. 

Egyptian slots are common, and there are many titles with this theme such as Legacy of Egypt, Egyptian Queens and Big Egyptian Fortune to name a few. But there aren’t many which feature a pyramid that’s lit up, with blasters sending it shooting into the air! The pyramids appear to be spaceships, albeit set in the middle of a typical Egyptian scene providing an overall impression that is certainly unique! 

The low pays are the playing card royals but look closely, and they seem to be inscribed with strange marking - could these be from outer space too? Four characters make up the high pays, and each of these resembles both Egypt and something less…earthly.  

The wild can give players a helping hand by substituting for any of the symbols to create a winning line. 

The splitting symbols and Ultraways mechanism is one of the big features of this slot. Any of the symbols can split into doubles or quads, to boost the potential value of a win. A super split can occur at the end of a spin in both the base game and free spins.  

The pyramid is the bonus symbol, and if you land three of these, you'll trigger the Guardian Free Spins extra. These take place in the pyramids, and you'll receive five free spins to start with. You're guaranteed to get a win on every spin, and a multiplier of up to x10 will apply. It is possible to retrigger the feature and win up to five further free spins.  

In both the base game and free spins, you may receive mystery scarab symbols. These transform into any of the other symbols, apart from the wild and bonus, to give you a potential win.  

In the base game, regular symbols can be transformed into Wild Mummies at the end of any spin. These wilds can be singles, doubles or quads and deliver great returns. 

Guardians of the Pyramids from Northern Lights Gaming is an online slot with a quirky theme that has some fantastic features. The Ultraways mechanism offers the possibility of huge wins, and there are lots of other extras to back it up.
