Game Symbols
In The 50,000 Pyramid video slot game, the card deck symbols available are 10, J, Q, K, and Ace. These card deck symbols also show different items drawn on top of them, which are specifically the items being given away as prizes in the original version of “The 50,000 Pyramid” TV show game. Other symbols include Mystery 7, Gold Bars, Celebrity Star, and Contestants.
The Wild Symbol is The 50,000 Pyramid Logo. The 50,000 Pyramid Logo (wild symbol) acts as a substitute for all other symbols (except for the scatter symbol) in order to help you complete a winning combination. When you are able to get winning combinations with multiple wild symbols on an active pay line, you will be given varying prizes (refer to the Paytable).
The Scatter Symbol is The Winner’s Circle symbol. Scatter symbols mean that they do not need to appear in a line (on an enabled pay line) for you to win. The Winner’s Circle scatter symbol can be scattered anywhere on the 5 reels for you to complete winning combinations, as long as there are 3 or more Winner’s Circle scatter symbols that come out. Your winnings are calculated by multiplying the Winner’s Circle scatter symbol combination payout (refer to the Paytable) by the total number of coins you’ve bet. If you hit 3 or more Winner’s Circle scatter symbols, you will activate the Winner’s Circle Pyramid Bonus Feature game.
Please take note that if you manage to obtain a scatter win and a regular win, you will be paid out accordingly for both of these wins, because the Winner’s Circle scatter symbol is not required to come out on an active pay line for you to win. Scatter wins are included to the pay line wins.

Bonus Feature
In The 50,000 Pyramid online video slot game, there are actually two Bonus Feature games that you can play:
Winner’s Circle Pyramid Bonus Feature Game – If you get the Winner’s Circle scatter symbols to appear on 3 or more reels (in any position), you will activate the Winner’s Circle Pyramid Bonus Feature game. The objective of the Winner’s Circle Pyramid Bonus Feature game is for you to build up the amount of Free Spins and even the size of the bonus Multiplier value that you will play in the Free Spin Bonus Feature games.
You will begin with 2 Free Spins, and a bonus Multiplier value of x1, and a pick count of five in the Winner’s Circle Pyramid. Start the game by simply clicking on any “Trilon” on the lowest level of the pyramid. The trilon may contain either a number of extra Free Spins, or a Multiplier boost value. Sometimes, it may also contain a “Bonus Pick” or an “Advance Arrow” which takes you to the next pyramid level. You may keep on picking until you run out of these picks, or you get to the top of the pyramid.
Please take note that if you get to activate the Winner’s Circle Pyramid Bonus Feature game with 4 or 5 Winner’s Circle scatter symbols respectively, the number of “Advance Arrows” and “Bonus Picks” available will increase significantly.
When you cannot pick anymore, the remaining Trilons (which are not earned) will be revealed in the Pyramid, and then you will be taken to the Free Spin Bonus Feature game.
Free Spin Bonus Feature Game – After you are finished picking and the Pyramid is revealed, you will be taken to the Free Spin Bonus Feature game in order to play out the Free Spins you have earned during the Winner’s Circle Pyramid Bonus Feature game.
In the Free Spins Bonus Feature game, you can play your Free Spins using the Spin or Auto Spin button.
If you get another 3 or more Winner’s Circle symbols while playing the Free Spins, you will be awarded scatter wins instead of activating another Winner’s Circle Pyramid Bonus Feature game. The more Winner’s Circle symbols you get, the higher the Multiplier value award. Take note that the actual scatter wins is the award Multiplier times your effective bet while in the Free Spin Bonus Feature game.
Also, take note that the Bonus Multiplier will not apply to the top Jackpot award of 5 “The 50,000 Pyramid Logo” wild symbols.
After the final Free Spin, if you have one or more winning combinations in the Free Spin Bonus Feature game, then the total of all your awards will be shown.
When the Free Spin Bonus Feature game is over, you will be taken back to the main “The 50,000 Pyramid” online video slot game, and your winnings are included to your overall balance.
Betting Options
The 50,000 Pyramid has 5 reels where you may bet on 15 pay lines. The minimum bet is 0.01 and the maximum bet is 5.00. You can wager from 1 up to 5 coins per pay line bet, so the maximum bet amount is 375.00 per spin.
The 50,000 Pyramid has an Auto Spin function, but it is only available during the Free Spin Bonus Feature game. Probably the reason why there is no Auto Spin function in the main game is that the game play is already fast paced.
