Queen of the Pyramids: Mega Cash Collect

Queen of the Pyramids: Mega Cash Collect is an Egyptian-themed slot game developed by Playtech Origins. The game features a 5-reel layout with an unconventional 3-4-4-4-3 row setup and 30 fixed paylines. The visual design of the slot is of high quality, showcasing ancient Egyptian architecture and a clear blue sky in the background.

The symbol set includes lower-paying card ranks (J, Q, K, A) and higher-paying Egyptian-themed symbols such as the Eye of Ra, Ankh, snake, Scarab Beetle, and cat. Five-of-a-kind wins for low symbols pay 1.5x the stake, while premium symbols pay between 2.5x and 5x the stake for five matching symbols.

The game's Wild symbol, featuring the Queen's eyes, substitutes for all regular symbols and appears stacked on the reels. The main attraction of the slot is the Mega Cash Collect feature, which is triggered by landing Cash Collect symbols on reels 1 and/or 5 during the base game, along with bonus symbols. These bonus symbols include:

• Cash Prize symbols: Display random bet multipliers from 0.5x to 15x
• Diamond symbols: Award one of four jackpot prizes (Mini, Minor, Major, or Grand) worth 20x, 50x, 200x, or 500x the bet
• Free Games symbols: Display +2, +3, +4, +5, +7, or +10 free spins

The Free Games feature is activated when a Cash Collect symbol lands simultaneously with a Free Games symbol. During this bonus, the game grid expands with additional locked rows above the main reels. Cash Collect symbols become sticky, with varying durations depending on their position. New Key symbols can unlock additional rows, and special symbols introduce extra features:

• Special Wild: Triggers the Dropping Wilds feature, adding stacked Wilds to the main reels
• Pharaoh Staff: Activates the Cash Spreader feature, adding up to 5 coins to random positions
• Sticky Cash: Remains on the reels, doubling in value until it turns into a Diamond symbol

An interesting aspect of Queen of the Pyramids: Mega Cash Collect is its complex Free Games feature, which combines multiple mechanics such as expanding reels, sticky symbols, and progressive rewards to create a potentially lucrative and engaging bonus round.
