Popular software providers return to action with a new Super Stake release that brings players Free Spins and an innovative new payout system

Stakelogic, the innovative game studio behind successful recent releases Joker Drop, have announced they’ll be inviting players to join them on an expedition to Ancient Egypt this winter with the launch of their new Pyramid Strike slot.

The game – which features five reels and 20 fixed paylines – will become the latest title in the provider’s ever expanding selection of Super Stake slots, meaning players will be given the option to increase their initial bet to add scatters and improve their chances of landing the main bonus feature.

Taking place deep within the bowels of a long-forgotten tomb where torches flicker and mysterious music plays, players will be tasked with lining up a range of unique symbols that includes pharaohs and ancient gods in order to trigger a maximum prize multiplier of up to 3,140x their selected stake.

To add to the excitement, special scarab beetle wilds will substitute for any regular base game symbol in order to create winning paylines, while golden pyramid icons will activate the slot’s Pyramid Strike feature – which offers players the chance to win one of nine progressively rewarding instant prizes.

A new addition to Stakelogic’s range of exciting features, the Pyramid Strike bonus is ever-present throughout the base game, with players able to view the range of available payouts in a table to the left of the reels. In order to access them, they simply need to land three or more pyramids in a single spin, with each additional icon taking them one rung up the ladder towards bigger and better rewards.

On top of that, players should also look out for the aforementioned scatter symbols, as these are the key to unlocking Pyramid Strike’s main Free Spins feature. Triggered whenever three scatters appear on the reels, players will be transported to a new screen where a Free Spins wheel is displayed. They’ll then have to click a button and will be awarded a random number of bonus games plus a multiplier.

With these multipliers doubling or trebling the value of their wins and up to 30 bonus games up for grabs, not only will players be given the chance to spin up a pharaoh’s fortune right from the get-go, but they’ll also be able to extend the feature up to three times by landing three subsequent scatters.

As a final incentive, all wins that are collected can be increased courtesy of Pyramid Strike’s gamble feature. Here, players will be asked to correctly guess the colour or suit of a card to double or quadruple their prize and can continue doing so until the maximum win is achieved.

Olga Bajela, CCO at Stakelogic said: “The legends of Ancient Egypt have always been a popular theme for software providers to explore, and we’re very happy to present a new take on the genre in our Pyramid Strike mode and an innovative new bonus mechanic that awards huge cash prizes, we’re sure players are going to love taking it for a spin.”
