Book of Pyramids review
BGaming released this Ancient Egypt slot in 2016 and describes it as a classic, built for players who prefer familiar mechanics to surprise features. The rules are correspondingly compact: one symbol, the Scarab, covers both Wild and Scatter duties, and a single free spins round supplies the extras. The most unusual detail is the spin counts, which run 11, 22 and 33.
An old theme, kept simple
The studio frames Egypt as one of the oldest themes in slots and presents this release as the traditional version. Its description stresses sharp graphics, smooth performance and a soundtrack of hand drums, rather than any special mechanic.
Because the studio keeps the pitch plain, there is little to learn. The studio text gives no grid size, payline count or ante bet, so those details are best checked in the game itself.
The Scarab and the free spins
Everything revolves around the Scarab. As a Wild it substitutes for any symbol in a winning line. As a Scatter it opens the bonus. Using one symbol for both jobs means a single sighting can both help a payline and move you closer to the free spins.
Free Spins
Three, four or five Scatters award 11, 22 or 33 free spins. The studio's rules tie the trigger to reels 2, 3 and 4, and the round can be retriggered. Going from three Scatters to five triples the spin count.
Wild and Scatter Scarab
A single symbol that replaces others in a winning line and also triggers the bonus game. It is the only special symbol the studio names.
Numbers and the conflict over ceilings
The RTP on record is 97.13%, a house edge of 2.87%. That is about $28.70 lost per $1,000 wagered. A 100-spin session costs on average $0.57 at a $0.20 bet, $2.87 at $1 and $14.35 at $5, which is $500 wagered.
Our catalogue publishes neither a volatility rating nor a max win. The studio's page says the chance to win up to 1,939 times the bet exists, especially through the free spins; we pass that on as BGaming's statement. Its volatility is not stated anywhere in the sources we hold.
Other 2016 and nearby releases
Several catalogue neighbours share the year. Princess Royal lists 97.1% with High volatility, Scroll of Adventure new has 97.1% and Very high, West Town lists 96.95% and Low, and Lucky Lady's Clover has 97.31% with Low. Aztec Magic Deluxe from 2018 shows 96.96%, Low, and Lady Wolf Moon from 2020 shows 97.09%, Very high. Volatility varies widely at similar RTPs, so the missing rating here matters.
Pros
- 97.13% RTP, a 2.87% house edge
- Free spins of 11, 22 or 33, with retriggers
- One Scarab symbol is both Wild and Scatter
- Free official demo available
Cons
- No volatility rating published in the catalogue
- The 1,939x top win comes only from studio copy
- Few features beyond the free spins
Verdict
Book of Pyramids is a classic-style 2016 slot with one multi-purpose Scarab and one bonus round. The 97.13% RTP is solid on paper, but the volatility is unpublished and the 1,939x ceiling is only the studio's claim. Expect a plain game and a 2.87% house edge, about $28.70 per $1,000 wagered. The free demo is the safest way to find out how it behaves.
