UFO Pyramids Slot Review
A stepped golden pyramid rises out of rolling dunes, its capstone a glowing Eye of Horus, with a blue crystal pyramid cutting the horizon behind it. UFO Pyramids makes that shape the game itself: the tiles stack two wide at the summit and six across the base, and I’d argue the silhouette is the most consequential design decision here, because rows of unequal width decide which clusters can even form. This isn’t Egypt reskinned onto a standard grid. It’s a different board, and it plays like one.
UFO Pyramids is BGaming‘s scatter-pays entry in the same territory as Alien Fruits 3 and Fruit Million, and it runs at 97.17% RTP with high volatility. Instead of a rectangular grid, the tiles pile into a pyramid: two wide at the summit, six across the base. Whether that shape is a gimmick or a genuine change of rhythm is the interesting question.
How the Pyramid Pays
There are no paylines here. Wins depend purely on the number of identical symbols in view, so a cluster of eight or more of the same symbol pays wherever it sits on the pyramid. The bet size is chosen in the Total bet field, and higher bets increase a total win proportionally.
When a win lands, refilling reels drop fresh symbols from above to fill the gaps. Those refills can themselves form new clusters, and the chain continues for as long as winning symbols keep arriving. The more identical symbols you gather in a single spin, counted across every refill, the higher the win.
For hands-off sessions there’s an Autospins mode: you pick a number of rounds, a confirmation shows the spin count and the total cost, which equals the number of spins multiplied by the total bet, and the game runs until the rounds finish or you cancel back to manual play.
Symbol pays are multiples of the total bet, stepping up at eight, ten and twelve symbols:
- Pharaoh: 50x for 12, 25x for 10-11, 10x for 8-9
- Cleopatra: 25x for 12, 10x for 10-11, 2.5x for 8-9
- Snake: 15x for 12, 5x for 10-11, 2x for 8-9
- Purple amulet: 12x for 12, 2x for 10-11, 1.5x for 8-9
- Ankh: 10x for 12, 1.5x for 10-11, 1x for 8-9
- Eye: 8x for 12, 1.2x for 10-11, 0.8x for 8-9
- Skull: 5x for 12, 1x for 10-11, 0.5x for 8-9
- Pyramid: 4x for 12, 0.9x for 10-11, 0.4x for 8-9
- Tablet: 2x for 12, 0.75x for 10-11, 0.25x for 8-9
- Scatter: 125x for 6, 6.25x for 5, 3.75x for 4
The premium tier is thin at the top. Pharaohs pay five times what Cleopatra does at twelve symbols, and everything from the Snake down falls away quickly. The middle of the ladder is flat too: the Ankh, Eye, Skull and Pyramid all sit within a few multiples of each other.
The drop from top to bottom is steep in a specific way. Four Pharaohs beyond the minimum, from eight to twelve symbols, adds 40x to the win; four extra Tablets adds less than 2x. That gap tells you where the value concentrates: almost every big base-game moment will involve the top three or four symbols.
A dozen Pharaohs returns 50x the bet, which is modest for a high-volatility game. The maths only stretches when the multipliers get involved, which is where the real work happens.
Multiplier Symbols
Multiplier symbols drop at random, in the main game and in Free Spins alike, and each carries its own randomly selected value. They come in three tiers:
- Green: x2 to x20
- Blue: x21 to x100
- Violet: x101 to x500
In the main game, several Multiplier symbols can drop in a single winning spin. When that happens, their values are summed and the total applies to the spin’s full win. Two greens and a blue together, for instance, would apply a single combined figure to everything that spin paid.
The tier a symbol lands in matters enormously. A green at the bottom of its range doubles the win; a violet at the top of its range multiplies it five hundredfold. Where the base game produces anything worth writing home about, a blue or violet symbol landing alongside a decent cluster is the reason.
The two states are worth telling apart, because the same symbol behaves differently in each. In the main game a multiplier is spent on the spin it arrives with and gone. In Free Spins it’s kept, and that single difference is what the whole bonus round is built on.
Free Spins
Four or more Scatter symbols anywhere in view trigger the Free Spins round. Scatters can appear on any of the pyramid’s rows, and six of them pay 125x the bet on their own before the round begins.
Inside the round, the multipliers change character. Instead of applying once and disappearing, they accumulate. If a spin produces a win and Multiplier symbols drop with it, their values are summed and banked. Every subsequent winning spin adds its own multipliers to that running total, and each win is paid at the accumulated sum plus the multipliers of that particular spin.
A worked example makes the structure clear. Suppose a winning spin drops a blue x40 and a green x10: the win pays at x50, and x50 goes into the bank. Two spins later a violet x150 arrives with another win, and that spin pays at x200. If a fourth winning spin lands a green x5, it pays at x205.
Two things follow from the banking rule. A multiplier dropped on a losing spin contributes nothing, so the bank only grows when the reels are already paying. And the bank never resets inside the round, so late winning spins are always the most valuable ones.
That structure rewards streaks. A round that strings together winning spins with blue or violet multipliers attached builds a number that gets applied again and again, which is the whole engine of the game’s upside. Three or more Scatters dropping in a single spin during the round add five further spins, so the streak has room to run.
Buy Bonus
There’s a Buy Bonus option, priced at 100x the total bet. The feature runs at the same 97.17% RTP as the rest of the game, so buying in doesn’t change the underlying maths.
It’s a steep ticket relative to the symbol ladder. Everything that makes the round pay depends on which multiplier tiers arrive once you’re inside, and a round that opens cold has little to fall back on between winning spins.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.8/10
This is a dig, not a stroll. You spend long stretches scraping small clusters off the sand while you wait for the one round the whole game was built around, and the odd silhouette up top is reason enough on its own to give it a look if the usual five-by-five boards have gone stale.
When Free Spins arrive, they’re superb: a banked multiplier total that never resets means a hot streak keeps paying bigger on every winning spin, and one early violet can carry the entire round. The base game is the problem, and it’s a real one. With the top symbol capped at 50x and nothing banked between rounds, the desert between bonuses is long and mostly quiet.
It’s a good fit for anyone who enjoys the slow build towards a single big moment and doesn’t mind paying for it in dead spins. Anyone after steady base-game entertainment will find the wait punishing. The treasure here is real; it’s just buried at the depth you’d expect.
