Queen of the Pyramids: Mega Cash Collect Slot by Playtech

Queen of the Pyramids is Playtech's Egyptian take on its Cash Collect formula, set in a golden throne room by the Nile with a kohl-eyed Cleopatra presiding overhead. The reels form a stepped pyramid, 3-4-4-4-3 across the five columns, on 30 fixed lines. Eye of Horus, ankh, Bastet cat and scarab symbols pay the lines, but the real action is the gold coins, each stamped with a cash value, and the Cash Collect symbol that sweeps them up.

That's the Mega Cash Collect part: a Cash Collect landing on reel one and/or reel five collects every coin on screen at once. Coins carry cash prizes worth up to 15x your bet, and cash-doubler coins can multiply the haul by anything from x2 up to x16. Four fixed diamond jackpots sit in the coin pool too, Mini, Minor, Major and the 500x Grand, and because they're fixed prizes rather than networked progressives, they actually pay out in the demo.

The Free Games are where the pyramid earns its name. The grid starts locked, wrapped in golden chains above the reels, and Key coins collected by Cash Collect unlock the extra rows one at a time from the bottom up. Unlock the top row and a frozen Cash Collect sticks for the rest of the round. Three special symbols join in here too: Dropping Wilds that stack down the reels and build a multiplier up to x3, a Cash Spreader that scatters coins across the board, and Sticky Cash that freezes a prize in place.

With a 95.41% RTP and high volatility, it's a proper feature slot rather than a quick one, the sort where a dead base game suddenly turns into a full pyramid of coins. The 2,622x max win is a moderate ceiling, but the demo-playable jackpots and the layered Cash Collect free games make this Egyptian slot one of the better ones in the series to test for free.
