Escape the Pyramid – Fire & Ice (Pragmatic Play) – Review & Demo Play

Escape the Pyramid – Fire & Ice: Slot Overview

I sat down with Escape the Pyramid – Fire & Ice and got the standard Pragmatic Play Egypt setup. A 6x6 scatter pays grid where eight or more of a kind anywhere award. Wins tumble and clear, then fresh symbols drop in. The smiling explorer waves from the side. Volatility is high, so dry spells break with sharp bursts. Fire and Ice marks appear during spins and later tie into features. The core loop is chaining cascades and edging a feature multiplier before a trigger lands.

Escape the Pyramid – Fire & Ice Symbols and Payouts

Escape the Pyramid – Fire & Ice keeps the paytable clear. Five coloured gems sit as lows, while chalice, ring, scarab, and ankh carry the top end. It is a pay anywhere system, so you want 8 to 36 matching symbols in view. The best gem stretches up to 120x for a full 36, while smaller clusters start at 0.10x. Premiums scale harder, with chalices, rings, and scarabs stepping up in tiers as the grid fills.

The ankh tops the set at 500x for 36, scarabs reach 250x, rings 200x, and chalices 150x. Wins begin around 1x to 2x when only 8 to 13 premiums show. The golden wild substitutes for everything bar the Fire and Ice scatters and pays 1,000x for a full board of 36. Values scale with stake, and cascades can layer multiple wins in one paid spin. The structure suits hit and run pops as well as slow building screens.

Escape the Pyramid – Fire & Ice Slot Bonus Features

Fire Feature in Escape the Pyramid – Fire & Ice turns up when a Fire scatter lands on the leftmost reel. After all tumbles end, every position that carried a Fire mark becomes a wild, and new cascades can follow. A feature multiplier ticks up by +1 for each tumble that happened before activation. Any wins made with those new wilds get multiplied by that value, so the best moments come after long base chains that stack the counter.

Ice Feature in Escape the Pyramid – Fire & Ice arrives via an Ice scatter on the rightmost reel. All Ice marks turn into one chosen paying symbol and you get three respins on a stripped set with blanks, the chosen symbol, plus Upgrade and +1 icons. The picked symbol sticks and can be upgraded to the next tier. The feature multiplier also grows by +1 per pre trigger tumble and applies to the payout that gets counted at the end.

Fire & Ice Feature in Escape the Pyramid – Fire & Ice starts when both scatters hit in one spin. Every Fire and Ice mark becomes a wild and you receive three respins where only blanks, wilds, and +1 can land. Wilds hold until the respins finish. Then the screen resets to the state before the respins and wins are evaluated on the new grid. The multiplier built by earlier tumbles multiplies the final total, which is where the slot can show teeth.

Bonus Buy Feature

FIRE & ICE The FIRE & ICE feature can be instantly triggered from the base game by buying it for 100x current total bet.

Bonus Buy Feature in Escape the Pyramid – Fire & Ice

Bonus Buy Feature in Escape the Pyramid – Fire & Ice lets you trigger the Fire & Ice feature for 100x the stake. It often bumps RTP a touch in some menus, and it skips the wait. The Ante Bet is also present in several builds, doubling the base stake and the chance to see a trigger, while lifting RTP by a sliver. Be aware the Ante can disable the buy in some regions. Both tools speed things up but raise exposure fast.

Escape the Pyramid – Fire & Ice Slot RTP & Volatility

Escape the Pyramid – Fire & Ice publishes RTP at 96.50%, with alternate profiles of 95.50% and 94.50%. Using the Ante can nudge it to around 96.51%, while some buy versions list 96.55%. Volatility sits at the harsh end, so bankroll drift can be choppy. Stakes start at 0.10 and top out at 250 in most lobbies, so both small testers and bigger punters fit. The hit rate lands near 36.90%, roughly one win in 2.71 spins.

Feature cadence feels slow over time. The Fire & Ice combo is rare from the base, with data pointing to about 1 in 598.93 spins for a full feature. The stated max win is 5,000x, and the stated odds of touching it hover at around 1 in 26,993,323. My sessions mirrored the sheet: long grinds, sudden spikes when a built multiplier met a decent setup, then cool patches again.

Theme & Graphics in Escape the Pyramid – Fire & Ice

Theme & Graphics in Escape the Pyramid – Fire & Ice stick to the familiar. Golden columns, carved walls, scarabs, ankhs, and bright gems frame the 6x6 grid. The chipper explorer does little beyond gesturing. The Fire and Ice idea shows through marks and a hotter respin backdrop, not much more. Visuals are polished and run smoothly across HTML5 on mobile and desktop. Landscape on a phone suits the scatter layout, and turbo helps when the base goes flat.

Escape the Pyramid – Fire & Ice Slot Verdict

Escape the Pyramid – Fire & Ice plays like a tidy scatter pays tomb raider with a neat marked positions twist. I like chasing long tumble chains, then catching Fire, Ice, or the combo with a stacked multiplier. When it lines up, the board pops and the counts feel fair for a 6x6 grid. Between those bursts, it can be a slog, and the elemental theme tag feels more cosmetic than a full idea.

I rate it as a decent time filler for high variance fans who want tumbles, sticky wild respins, and a clean pay anywhere table. The cap at 5,000x is fine, though not a headline grabber, and the feature frequency means patience. If I want pace, I toggle Ante or buy the bonus where available. If I want control, I grind the base and nurse the balance until a marked screen actually connects.
