Escape the Pyramid Fire & Ice Demo

The theme is what you'd expect – hieroglyphs, glowing artifacts, and a grand pyramid backdrop. It looks polished, but not groundbreaking. Where things get more interesting is in how fire and ice play into the mechanics. You’ve got marked positions on the reels that can be set on fire or frozen, and that’s where the big wins can come from.

The RTP is 96.50%, which is decent, but this is a high-volatility slot, meaning big wins don’t come easily. You’re chasing a max win of 5,000x your bet, which is solid but not mind-blowing by today’s standards. I had plenty of dead spins, but when the special features kicked in, it felt worth the wait

Fire feature

• Fire marks appear on random positions.
• If a fire scatter lands on reel 1, all marked spots turn into wilds.
• Each tumble before activation increases a win multiplier by 1x.

This feature saved my balance more than once. The extra wilds can turn a dead spin into a huge payout, especially when multipliers stack up.

Ice feature

• Ice marks appear randomly.
• If an ice scatter lands on reel 6, all marked positions transform into one random symbol.
• You get three respins, and every upgrade symbol that lands boosts the chosen symbol’s value.

This one felt a bit hit-or-miss. Sometimes I’d get a nice symbol upgrade, other times it didn’t really do much.

Fire & ice feature

• If both fire and ice scatters land at the same time, you get the best of both worlds.
• All fire-marked spots turn wild, and you get three respins.
• Only sticky wilds and extra spins can appear during this round.

Now this is where the real action is. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, the screen can flood with wilds, and those multipliers start racking up some serious wins
