Escape the Pyramid Fire & Ice Slot Demo » Pragmatic Play

Escape the Pyramid Fire & Ice is a new video slot from Pragmatic Play. The game is played on a unique-looking 6×6 grid!

While the game’s name probably makes you think that the slot’s all about the battle between fire and ice, the reality feels—well, a lot more like the classic Egyptian-themed slot we’ve seen a million-and-one times before!

Still, it’s not the worst game in the world, and with solid mechanics, a high maximum win potential of 5,000x, and plenty of adventure—you can learn why it’s worth checking out in today’s review!

Like most Pragmatic Play Slots, Escape the Pyramid Fire & Ice comes with solid graphics, and you’ll find standard Egyptian symbols like scarabs, ankhs, and jewels on the reels.

Pragmatic Play has added a “Fire & Ice” dynamic, but this element feels more about the visuals rather than actually playing a part in how the game works!

Now, Escape the Pyramid Fire & Ice can be played from as little as £0.10 per spin, so it’s likely to appeal to low rollers! The game also boasts a slightly above-average RTP of 96.50%, although it is available in lower RTP settings—something to be aware of.

Game Features

The heart of Escape the Pyramid Fire & Ice lies in its grid-based gameplay and the layered features that Pragmatic Play has built into the game.

You can form wins by landing at least eight matching symbols anywhere in view—and the slot uses a scatter pays mechanic, and wins also disappear when they form part of a win!

The Fire feature activates when a Fire scatter lands on the leftmost reel. Once all cascades have finished, any of the game’s positions that are marked by fire symbols transform into wilds! Plus, a multiplier increases by +1 with each successful tumble.

Now, the Ice bonus is triggered when an Ice scatter appears on the rightmost reel. Here, positions marked with Ice symbols transform into one randomly selected paying symbol.

You are granted three respins, during which the chosen symbol remains sticky. It’s also possible to land upgrade symbols; each time you do, you receive one additional spin.

If you’re lucky enough to land both scatter symbols together, you’ll trigger the combined Fire & Ice Feature. In this bonus round, any positions that have been marked turn into wilds—and you receive three re-spins.

On this re-spin, only wilds, blank spaces, and +1 spin symbols appear. The wilds remain locked for the duration of the respins, and the multiplier continues to grow for every tumble leading up to the feature.

Plus, if you’re located outside of the UK, you’ll be happy to learn that Escape the Pyramid Fire & Ice also contains a bonus buy mechanic! This allows you to buy instant entry into the main bonus round for a fixed cost of 100x your base game stake.
