The mysterious black panther guards the treasures hiding in these pyramids, but this kitty can be tamed with a little patience.
This Treasures of the Pyramids slot looks big and bold. With 40 paylines and 5 reels by 4 rows, you’re expecting an almost epic game, in the scale of the Siberian Storm slot.
But actually despite it’s old fashioned Egyptian look, with Ankhs, Jewels and high card symbol, this is probably one of the friendlier IGT slot machines around.
Threatening though this 2 high symbol might look, you’ll be surprised by how friendly this kitty actually is.
That would be because in a world where you can go 10 to 20 spins without a win, you suddenly become very grateful for that wild cat that comes 2 symbols high.
Get a couple on screen, and we’ve had wins of over 60 times our bet on several occasions, bringing our expedition out of the desert and into a safe oasis of wins.
Considering this isn’t a hard hitting IGT game, we were surprised at how long we had to wait to catch the bonus games in this Treasure of the Pyramid game.
Sometimes, we’ve caught the feature twice in less than 100 spins. But mostly we’ve had to play well over 200 to catch them.
And you can understand why; much in the tradition of older slot machines like Kitty Glitter or Wolf Run, the free spins is where all the big wins hide.
This is the main selling point when you open up the Treasures of the Pyramids video slot. Despite not being as aggressive as the likes of the Prowling Panther, you can still get yourself a huge jackpot by catching 5 scatters and 100 free spins.
Mostly, you won’t. Mostly you’ll be lucky to get 3, and 8 free spins. From time to time, you might even catch 4 scatters and play 15 free spins.
Those mythical 100 free spins are hiding in these pyramids, don’t get us wrong, but much like winning a progressive jackpot on a mobile slot, you can’t go in expecting it in order to enjoy the game.
Instead, you get a classic playing IGT slot machine that gives you the occasional heart attack moment, plenty of hope, and some beautiful graphics.

Wild Symbol: The Panther is the wild symbol and comes stacked 2 high in comparison to all the other symbols. It is also the highest paying symbol on the board and replaces all other symbols, except scatter.
Scatters and Free Spins: The Treasures Of The Pyramids bonus games are triggered when you get 3 or more Pyramid symbols scatters on show.
Get 3, and you win 8 free spins. 4 will give you 15 free spins, and 5 will get you the jackpot 100 free spins.
All wins come with a 2x multiplier, and you can re-trigger them, but only up to 600 free spins at the most.
The Treasures of the Pyramids mobile slot is actually a very simple IGT casino game that is not as bad entry-level example of what to expect from land based slots.
Namely long spins where the action is a little slow, followed by big moments where you might walk away with a fortune.
It's not particularly clever, but then not every new slot game needs to revolutionise the wheel. Some are happy to take you back to Vegas.
