Pyramids of Mystery 2

Pyramids of Mystery 2 is an Egyptian-themed slot from Retro Gaming, played on a 5x3 grid with 20 fixed paylines. It is a sequel that keeps the classic tomb-raiding setup and hangs its extras on one switch: the Retro Bet, which turns on an upgraded wild for the price of a bigger stake. RTP sits at 95.79%, volatility is high and the top win is 5,000x the bet.

Theme and Graphics

The reels are framed in carved gold and set against the cool blue stone blocks of a burial chamber, with emerald and ruby studs down the sides of the frame. The paying symbols are the familiar Egyptian set – a winged scarab, the Eye of Horus, a pyramid on the sand, an ankh and a painted urn – sitting above red, blue and green card royals. It is a clean, slightly old-school presentation that matches the studio’s name rather than chasing the latest visual tricks.

Wilds and the Retro Bet

The winged scarab is the wild and the game’s best-paying symbol, worth 250x for five on a line. A Retro Bet panel sits to the left of the reels: switch it on and the extra stake activates the Retro Wild, the upgraded wild that drives the biggest screens in this game. With it running, the reels can fill top to bottom with wilds – the sort of spin that turns a 400 bet into a 50,000 win.

Free Spins and Mystery Symbols

Free Spins symbols are the scatters, and landing enough of them opens the bonus round with a spin counter shown under the reels. Wilds stick in place for the rest of the round once they land, so the grid fills up as the spins run down, and further scatters award additional free spins on top. Mystery symbols also drop in during play and reveal as a single matching symbol, which is where a lot of the surprise wins come from.

Pyramids of Mystery 2 is a straightforward, high-variance Egyptian slot – no buy feature, no cascading gimmicks, just sticky wilds, mystery reveals and a bonus bet that sharpens all of it. Give the demo on the left a spin to see the Retro Wild in action.
