Pyramids of Luxor

About Pyramids of Luxor

Pyramids of Luxor is an Ancient Egypt-themed slot from Crucible Gaming, the Sheffield-based UK studio behind Beaver Las Vegas, Book of Sevens, and Bar-X Infinity Reels. The game runs on a 5-reel, 5-row grid with 3,125 ways to win, set deep in the Egyptian desert with the silhouettes of pyramids visible behind the playing field and warm desert tones running through the visual design. The reels are framed in turquoise and gold with intricate hieroglyphic detailing around the edges.

The game has an RTP of 94% in the version available at Midnite, medium to high volatility, and a maximum win of 2,000x your bet. The bonus structure is built around two interlocking mechanics: the Pyramids Bonus, where 4 or more Pyramid symbols trigger a 3-respin Hold and Win-style round with sticky Pyramids, and the Wild Respin, where 2 to 6 additional wild symbols are added to random grid positions.

How to Play Pyramids of Luxor

The grid is 5 reels by 5 rows, with 3,125 ways to win replacing fixed paylines. Wins form when matching symbols land on adjacent reels from left to right, starting from reel one. Row position does not matter on the ways-to-win mechanic. Stakes at Midnite start from £0.20 per spin, set using the bet controls below the reels.

Lower-paying symbols are 10, J, Q, K, and A card ranks rendered in Egyptian gilded styling. Higher-paying symbols are themed pieces: the scarab beetle, the ankh, the Eye of Ra, and a colourful selection of royal characters culminating in Tutankhamun's mask as the top regular paying symbol.

The Egyptian queen acts as the wild and substitutes for all standard paying symbols. The wild appears only on reels 1, 3, and 5. It does not substitute for the Pyramid symbol or Tutankhamun's mask. Four or more Pyramid symbols anywhere on the reels trigger the Pyramids Bonus round.

Pyramids of Luxor Features

The bonus structure runs across the Pyramids Bonus respin round, the Wild Respin feature, and the multiplier mechanic that runs through the Egyptian wild substitutions.

• Wild Symbol: The Egyptian queen wild substitutes for all standard paying symbols on the ways-to-win combinations. The wild appears only on reels 1, 3, and 5. It does not substitute for the Pyramid symbol or Tutankhamun's mask.
• Wild Respin: Can trigger after a paid spin. The reels respin with 2 to 6 additional wild symbols added to random grid positions, often creating new winning combinations that would not have formed in the original spin.
• Pyramid Bonus Symbol: Four or more Pyramid symbols anywhere on the reels trigger the Pyramids Bonus round.
• Pyramids Bonus (Respin Round): Triggered when 4 or more Pyramid symbols land at once. The triggering Pyramid symbols remain in their positions, and 3 respins are awarded. Every new Pyramid symbol that lands during the respins is sticky and stays on the reels for the rest of the round. Each new Pyramid landing resets the respin counter back to 3.
• Bonus Respin Reset: As new Pyramid symbols land during the bonus, the respin counter refreshes, extending the round. The bonus continues until no new Pyramids land for 3 consecutive respins or the grid is filled.
• Additive Symbols: During the Pyramids Bonus, additional Pyramid symbols can stack their cash values on top of existing sticky Pyramids, increasing the value of each held position.
• Tutankhamun's Mask: The top regular paying symbol, paying the largest standard win when forming long ways combinations.

Pyramids of Luxor Theme and Symbols

The setting is the Egyptian desert at dusk, with the silhouettes of pyramids rising on the horizon behind the playing field and warm orange and turquoise hues running through the visual design. The reels are framed in gold with hieroglyphic borders, and the symbols are rendered with sharp graphics and smooth animations that give the game a distinctive art style. The soundtrack mixes Egyptian percussion with mysterious atmospheric tones, lifting into more dramatic arrangements when the Pyramids Bonus triggers.

Lower-paying symbols are stylised 10, J, Q, K, and A card ranks framed in Egyptian gilding. Higher-paying symbols are themed pieces: the scarab beetle, the ankh, the Eye of Ra, royal characters in Egyptian regalia, and Tutankhamun's mask as the top regular paying symbol. The Egyptian queen appears as the wild on reels 1, 3, and 5, while the Pyramid symbol acts as the bonus trigger. Together they complete the special set.

Does Pyramids of Luxor have free spins?

The game does not include a traditional free spins round. The bonus structure is built around the Pyramids Bonus respin round, where sticky Pyramid symbols and a 3-respin counter that resets with each new Pyramid replace the typical free spins format.

What is the Pyramids Bonus?

The Pyramids Bonus is triggered when 4 or more Pyramid symbols land anywhere on the reels at once. The triggering Pyramids remain in their positions, and 3 respins are awarded. Every new Pyramid that lands during the respins is sticky and stays on the reels for the rest of the round. Each new Pyramid resets the respin counter back to 3, extending the bonus until no new Pyramids land for 3 consecutive respins.

What is the Wild Respin feature?

The Wild Respin can trigger after a paid spin. The reels respin with 2 to 6 additional Egyptian queen wild symbols added to random grid positions. The additional wilds often create new winning combinations that would not have formed in the original spin, with the wilds substituting across the 3,125 ways to win.

Why does the wild appear only on certain reels?

The Egyptian queen wild appears only on reels 1, 3, and 5 by design. This focuses the wild substitutions on the reels that anchor the ways-to-win combinations from left to right, while keeping the standard symbol distribution on reels 2 and 4 untouched. The Wild Respin feature is the main way to bring wilds onto reels 2 and 4 outside of standard symbol drops.
