Guardians of the Pyramids Review

The trademarked Ultraways engine from Northern Lights Gaming had its somewhat humble beginnings with Golden Stallion Ultraways, and it was ramped up significantly in Rocky's Gold Ultraways. In Guardians of the Pyramids, Northern Lights have polished up the visual presentation as well, and the futuristic ancient Egypt theme is a refreshing touch on an otherwise overused trope.

We like how the whole grid is shaken as all the symbols slam down at once, and the hovering spaceship pyramid on the left is not only there for the crowd-pleasing visual effect. It awards random modifiers on a regular basis, and these can be quite helpful together with mystery symbols. Each spin is a winner in the bonus round, which comes with a random multiplier and a solid 11,000x potential.

Guardians of the Pyramids Slot Features

You win by landing 3+ matching symbols on adjacent reels from the uttermost left to right, and 10 of a kind wins pay between 0.9 and 1.1 x your stake. All symbols can appear as single, double or quadruple symbols, and this goes for the mummy Wild symbol as well. Wilds step in for pay symbols to help complete wins, and they pay the same as the top-tier symbol.

The pyramid that hovers on the left-hand side can become active underneath a thunderstorm at random times. This triggers 1 of 2 random modifiers. The Wild Mummies feature turns a random amount of pay symbols into wilds, and this can include both double and quadruple symbols. The Super Symbol Splitting modifier splits a randomly chosen symbol type into doubles and/or quadruple symbols

The Mystery Scarab symbol can appear on any reel, and all instances of this symbol turn into the same randomly chosen symbol type. Mystery symbols cannot turn into the wild symbol, however, and we forgot to mention above that the wild pays the same as to the top-tier symbol should you land 3 to 10 on a payline.

The Guardian Bonus Round triggers from 3 scatters in view, and this awards 5 free spins. Each spin comes with a random win multiplier up to x10, and you can get up to 5 extra spins. You are guaranteed a win per spin, and the random modifiers, as well as mystery symbols, can benefit you also during the feature. Non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can buy the bonus round for 49x the stake.

Review Summary

We are more impressed by the visual presentation in Guardians of the Pyramids than in the previous Ultraways installment, Rocky's Gold Ultraways. The pyramid that hovers on the left-hand side admittedly looks kind of neat, and it was pretty cool to discover that it wasn’t simply there for ornamental reasons. It activates on a fairly regular basis in the base game, and you get plenty of super symbol splitting from it.

The Wild Mummies feature triggers on occasions as well, and both features are capable of producing solid wins combined with the Ultraways engine. Let’s not forget the mystery symbol feature, and all modifiers tend to trigger more frequently in the bonus round. Getting extra spins happened fairly often as well, and the 11,000x potential seems achievable. It still seems a bit low for a game that touts “up to 60m win ways”, perhaps, but it’s up there with most Megaways installments.

If you love Guardians of the Pyramids Slot you should also try:

Rocky's Gold Ultraways - is a mining-themed installment from Northern Lights Gaming, and it comes with double and quadruple symbols for up to 60 million win ways as well. You get random wild transformations, and the bonus round comes with a fixed multiplier and a similar 11,500x potential.

Golden Stallion - is the first installment in what has turned into a Ultraways series from Northern Lights Gaming, and you’ll see horses galloping to add frames to random positions. These become mystery symbols on the golden spin, and you get up to 196,608 Ultraways in the bonus round. The max win is 6,000x your stake.

Pyramyth - is the first game that came to mind when we laid eyes on the game at hand, as this Thunderkick release also comes with a futuristic ancient Egypt presentation. You get wild win multipliers up to x32, and these wilds roam around in the bonus round that also come with sticky win respins. This can lead to payouts up to 10,000x your stake.
