Inspired Gaming takes players back to the retro era of the eighties with the Neon Pyramid slot machine. The game draws inspiration from the bright and colourful aesthetic that dominated arcade games of the time. Although traditional games inspire it, Neon Pyramid is as modern as they come with clean-cut imaging and various bonus features including wilds, reel modifiers, free spins, and bonus games.

Neon Country

Launching the Neon Pyramid slot machine is like walking into an eighties arcade centre. The six by four grid occupies most of the screen with bright pink neon lights separating the reels. Tron-style imagery sits in the background in equally striking shades as those of the reels with a giant black pyramid scaling back the colour at the centre. The characters landing on the reels are similarly appealing with different bright shades. The icons reference items from the classic era the game is based on including a boombox, unicorns, mechanical pokies, and reflective sunglasses. The rich music playing in the background also consists of the melodious shrills of the time.

Playing the Game

Neon Pyramid online slot has a lot going on with its imagery and bonus features, but that does not change its gameplay's simplicity. After choosing between the free and real money slot versions, choose a stake between 0.20 and 25 credits using the button to the grid's left. The bet values vary depending on the region the game is played, especially when accessing the cash version. Spinning can be done either manually or using the autoplay settings. Several other fields are included on the screen to facilitate the gameplay process including:

• Gear button – opens the paytable menu where one can orient themselves on the winnings to expect and gameplay rules.
• BALANCE – shows the total credits used for bets and collected winnings are added to the field.
• WIN – indicates the payouts of any spin that lands winning combinations. If multiple combos activate, their values are added together before being shown in this field.
• Stake – displays the selected wager.

The Neon Pyramid playtable can also feature several fields on its sides during bonus features that indicate the awarded free spins, multipliers, and levels.

Pokie Winnings

Neon Pyramid slot game may be based on a time when bonus features were not as advanced as they are today, but it appeals to the new age gambler by including them anyway. The set kicks things off with a paytable that awards wins when three to six icons fall on sequential reels. The game uses 4096 ways to win instead of the usual play lines, which drives up the chances of landing a winning combination. Therefore, symbols pay for combos in any order as long as they start from the leftmost reel. The dynamic paytable changes according to the used stake. Below are the expected winnings when a bet of one credit is used:

Symbol	Wins for Three	For Four	For Five	For Six
Hearts	0.10	0.10	0.10	0.10
Clubs	0.10	0.10	0.10	0.10
Diamonds	0.10	0.10	0.10	0.10
Spades	0.10	0.10	0.10	0.10
Cassette	0.20	0.50	0.80	1.00
Sunglasses	0.20	0.50	0.80	1.00
Boombox	0.20	0.50	0.80	1.00
Keyboard	0.20	0.50	0.80	1.00
Car	0.30	0.75	2.50	5.00
Unicorn	1.00	2.00	5.00	10.00

The Unicorn is the only icon that pays for a combination of two, and it is valued at 0.50 credits. These Neon Pyramid winnings are awarded alongside several bonus features including;

• Wild

The pink and blue mechanical slot machine plays the wild in Neon Pyramid pokie. The character lands on the third and fourth reels only, and it can complete the combos of any other icon. The symbol is only of value when it is part of another icon's combinations, but it cannot create its own.

• Reel Modifiers

During the base game, players can land wild reels where the pokie machine wild covers the entire column it appears on. The wild reels have a multiplier value displayed on their screens, which multiplier the winnings they help to collect by up to three times. The other reel modifier is the Bonus Chance, which activates in the base game when two bonus cions appear. The pyramid at the top of the grid animates and adds double-height bonus icons to the reels.

• Bonus symbol

The blue pyramid with a pink eye at the centre plays the bonus icon and is the only Neon Pyramid character that cannot be replaced by the wild. When three or more of them are in view, they award a bonus entry. The game redirects gamers to a second screen with a pyramid that determines the free spins to be awarded. The number of bonus icons used to trigger the feature determines the level in which the Pyramid feature begins. The boon has four levels, and the highest one activates for six icons.

• Pyramid Feature

Each of the pyramid positions gets an independent spin that reveals a random number of free spins. When all of them have spun, the freebies are added up and begin playing. The freebies come with wild multipliers of between five and ten times depending on the level the land. The top-level also awards a wild reel on the third and fourth columns for every freebie.

• Pyramid Feature Re-Entry

This Neon Pyramid bonus activates when the bonus pyramid appears on the third and fourth reels. If it starts, the gambler moves up a level on the bonus pyramid. All new positions spin to reveal free spins and they are stacked on the ones already playing. The wild multiplier perks of the new level are awarded as well.

Free and Real Money Slot

The Neon Pyramid slot machine is provided in both demo and cash versions. The demo slot is accessible on our website with no registration, deposit, or download demands. The real money version, however, is available in Inspired Gaming casinos only. The free slot is a handy tool to get familiar with the game before heading on to the cash version where awarded wins can be cashed out.

Overview

Neon Pyramid Slot is an impressive title with unique bonuses like the Pyramid Feature and wild reels that are not popular in other pokies. However, the small combination winnings and maximum bet limits may not appeal to high rollers playing for significant winnings.
