$1,000,000 Pyramids Slots
The $1,000,000 Pyramid slot machine continues a long line of television-themed machines from IGT. The classic television show hosted by Dick Clark ran throughout the seventies and eighties. International Game Technologies hit on a winning formula licensing products people remember from their childhood, which has been a big windfall for owners of trademarks like "Pyramid".
I watched this show as a kid. Some of the celebrities came across as real sharp, while others couldn't guess "cat" if you spotted them the "c" and the "t".
It was impossible to answer enough questions to claim the million dollar prize. But I guess teaming up with the likes of Loretta Swit to win a few thousand dollars was supposed to be enough for the players.
The Slot Game
This nickel game comes in the familiar 5-reel, 15-payline format. The minimum qualifying bet is $0.75, a standard amount for IGT games. This qualifies you for the progressive jackpot. Five $1,000,000 Pyramid symbols on the 15th payline activate the progressive.
You'll find One Million Dollar Pyramid slots as part of the Famous Games progressive network. As the name might imply, Famous Games links all kinds of famous franchises in one mega-jackpot network. The Wheel of Fortune penny slots often are placed in this network.
Famous Games doesn't limit itself to only television shows. Games like Magic Eightball and Uno are also represented in the slots network. So every time someone plays one of these various games throughout the network, the collective jackpot value increases.
There are several bonus features on the Pyramid slots. The Winner's Circle bonus takes its name from the final round on the show. You pick five tiles, collecting whatever bonus money is underneath those tiles.
Besides activating the progressive jackpot, the $1,000,000 symbol is also the wildcard. It substitutes for all the symbols on the machine, except for the bonus round activator. These multiple wild symbols change your odds on several dozen winning combinations.
The $1,000,000 Pyramid slot machine isn't my favorite classic television product from IGT, but I found it entertaining enough to play every once in a while. It's a nostalgia trip, which was International Gaming Technology's aim. If you love progressive slots, there are worse experiences than playing one of the Famous Games slots.
