Our Verdict
Betting options are very flaccible on Rise of Pyramids, and you will generally be able to play between $0.20 and $250 per spin (or the equivalent value in other currencies).
This spread is so if different bankrolled players wanted to join the game, it would be possible because the game would cater for low limits and high stakes/limit playing players.
Your Budget You can vary your bet but its worth considering a few bets at minimum level to get a feel for the game – try to build cash flow, rather than to win big – over time, winning in small doses can amount to much more.
During my trials, I played around with varying bet sizes, trying to find the best option both for the winning frequency and win sizes.
Play Responsibly
Reels in Play Rise of Pyramids has a 6×7 grid.
This translates into a set up with six reels and seven symbols on each.
This larger than normal 7 reel layout is the key to the All Ways Pays feature of the game.
Instead of the standard payline system, All Ways Pays indicate that winning combinations are formed by matching symbols on adjacent reels, irrespective of where they are in a row.
This does add a lot more to the number of potential wins and ups your chances of striking a winning combination.
The base game is more interesting with All Ways Pays than it would be with traditional fixed line slot systems.
