New Slot Announcement 4 Secret Pyramids by 4ThePlayer

[4ThePlayer]

Good Morning Casinomeister!

Today is the limited exclusive release of our latest game 4 Secret Pyramids, on Leo Vegas. Before a network release via Relax Gaming on 27th July 2022.

The game is 95% RTP with 1,024 Ways. Very High volatility and has a max win of 55,000x Bet.



Featuring the return of our innovative BONUS↑UP mechanic, last seen in 3 Secret Cities. BONUS↑UP keeps the game exciting by improving the bonus (increasing Free Spins and Multiplier) the longer the play without hitting one. Also, once you have completed a bonus, we improve the chance to hit the next bonus in fewer spins!

Explore 4 Egyptian locations with volatility paths to choose from and multiple prize levels to enjoy. Climb each pyramid to win Free Spins, Multipliers, and Super Stacked symbols.

Win twice as many bonuses with the new Extra Bonus Bet or win double-sized bonuses with the Double Bonus Bet – or combine both bets to play bigger bonuses more frequently! Take shortcuts to work your way faster up the trail, or gamble for a better bonus!

What bonus will you get next? What riches will you discover?

Despite enjoying many 4ThePlayer games, I could never get on with Secret Cities - it "felt" like the BONUS1UP mechanic was too much "theoretical" stored value taken from the game in running, that never quite materialised. Probably just never quite got lucky enough on it.

I shall at least give the Pyramids a whirl though.

 

[4ThePlayer]

Thanks for trying it anyway, but just to let you know no RTP is stored or saved anywhere - its the same RTP on every spin It's just a volatility journey across the trail, you can see this in action by changing your stake - you stay in the same location.

I like 4 the player games, I'll sure give this one a shot if I can find it! After novibet vanished, it's not quite been the same

What RTP models does this come in?

I like the game, plenty of twists in gameplay for players to pick from, a little different to the previous but close enough to feel similar. Nice graphics, one of your best looking I think.

aye, the writing was coming from them near the end though- the offers etc completely dried up. One of the few casinos i've been 'sad' to see go. Great Selection of games as well - CS sucked but so do they all.

Thank you, it's on general release from Wednesday so you will be able to play it at most casinos that have Relax games as it's on the Relax platform. Until Wednesday it's only at LeoVegas.

Thank you, glad you like it That is exactly what we tried to do, make it similar enough to the first but different enough to make it a new exciting adventure! The RTP is 95% apart from Germany where there is a German-specific RTP.

That's interesting. Some of your games recently came in multiple models, plus the German version.

Of course, I prefer the single versions, but just wondering why the decision for some and not this one?

 

[4ThePlayer]

It depends on the platform the game is released on, this game is via Relax and they currently do not support multiple.
Surprised you prefer a single version, as multiple allows us to offer a higher one as well as one for casinos that would not take a higher one.

Oh wow, don't get me started on multiple RTP models

Short version - I think making something identical apart from the payout and then not advertising that difference is one of the biggest cons in modern business.

If there were only single versions, casinos would have to take that and nothing else.

Relax now offer multiple models on their own titles, I doubt it will be long before they accommodate their partners also.

Fair enough, just to say (I am sure you know but others reading might not) we clearly display RTP and game stats on the splash screen and always have ? Also if the RTP is gold on the splash screen it's the highest one we offer.

Yes, you guys are really good with your info. All developers should be made to display RTP on the splash screen.

Play'n GO would have a fit, could you imagine all the casinos having to display those sweet 84% RTPs, one can dream

Thank you, we always try our best

Looks great. I will definitely give the game a go.

If this is anything like 3 secret cities, it's going straight on my ban list. That's an hour of my life I'm never getting back, over 400x in and still no bonus, brutality at it's finest!

 

[4ThePlayer]

Sorry to hear that @Flyingslotsman - 4 Secret Pyramids is the sequel to 3 Secret Cities and uses the same BONUS↑UP mechanic.
The way it works is the longer you wait to get a bonus the better the potential of the bonus you can get! You see this as you travel across the trail and explore each location.

To give an insight into the math, here is what the average best win is after 100 spins:

All Players - 50x
1 in 10 - 228 x
1 in 100 - 778 x
1 in 1,000 - 2,087 x

That said it is a volatile adventure so it might be a slightly less volatile and more active game is more for you. Every game is not for everyone and we get that.

Our next game after this one (4 Deals with the Devil) has a feature where you can choose which bonus you would like to play for - with each having a different frequency and potential. This might be more your type of game.

So I'm in for a monster - potentially - whenever it hits. Biggest x return over all those spins I had at 20p with around £50 was 35x, it was an hours worth, so unsure exactly how many spins, but I was brutalised, extremely volatile. Would have been nice to have a seen a bonus, it does this thing where it says upgraded your bonus for you mate, you're not getting to see it, but upgraded none the less

 

[Flyingslotsman]

Well it finally came….

 

[Greigssy]

I was at the top tier bonus level on 3 Cities (max rtp version), took ages to bonus and was over 400x bet down too.
Well it eventually triggered, so a possibility of 50 free spins at 15x.

I got 7 free spins at 1x, which is 7 base game spins basically and it paid just under 14x
For me the Bonus Up mechanic is a waste of time really if you can still hit the bare minimum spins and multi at the top level.

 

[bamberfishcake]

Wow, getting a minimum value trigger on the top tier is harsh.

I think the RTP is the same throughout the different bonuses, so the higher-tiered bonus rounds will be more volatile.

Could be worse, could be Jammin Jars 2 and you're in for the ridiculous long-haul no matter how you wish to play, with as much or more potential disappointment. At least, with 4 Secret Pyramids, you can choose when you want to take your bonus.

It's just not worth the slug in my opinion. Base game wasn't great either. I'll give this 4 cities a miss, we can't like all providers games and these are Definetly on my band list

The thing you're not seeing if you're playing this from the UK, is the feature buys, once you factor those in, the design of the rest of the slot makes more sense.

I gave this a pretty long play session in demo mode, and if you're just grinding away at the base game, it's a fairly unedifying experience, even with the 'extra bonus' activated (which increases your stake by 25%). Feature frequency seems to be on the stingy side (including with the 'extra bonus' activated), and when you do land the feature, it can be very unimpressive.

However, if you're prepared to invest in a feature buy (and there are four to choose from!), you can lob up to 200x stake at a top-tier feature buy, which then takes you off to a pick-me pre-bonus round. The one you can see below is actually one of the better ones (you can hit the red X several levels before that), I've never managed to take it out to the top.

I've seen returns of less than 10x on a 200x feature buy, and it seems that if you don't manage to unlock the top couple of levels, the potential of the round is limited, so your 200x doesn't even buy you the 'best' feature, it just gives you a shot at it.

I know this is the way slots are going and there's no way to put this evil genie back in the bottle now, but in my experience where a slot has a feature buy, you have to ask as a player, why is that feature buy there? It's literally inviting the player to spend more money than they usually would to avoid having to, y'know, actually play the slot normally.

One thing I will say for this slot is 4ThePlayer have done a great job with the aesthetics, it looks and sounds great, it runs smoothly, the interface is clear, the rules are transparent and well written etc - I just wish they'd focus their energies on a lower volatility slot that has plenty going on to keep the player engaged, rather than falling back on the crutch of feature buys.

Yep @bamberfishcake you are correct, the game has the same RTP on every spin and every location - it is a volatility journey.

Thank you for trying the game, great to read you like the aesthetics!

As we mentioned before on this thread this is a very volatile game, so if you naturally prefer less volatile games this game is not for you. Not every game is made for every player. It is important to align your volatility tastes with the games you play for your ultimate entertainment.

In terms of feature buys, we never balance a game for feature buys or 'make a game for feature buys'. All our games are balanced without buy features and we naturally feel and play the game to perfect it for everyday play. The BONUS UP mechanic in 4 Secret Pyramids is meant to be played as a journey, and the whole game is balanced around that journey. The Buy Feature is only added in the last stages of development.

You asked why the feature is there - the reason is that a lot of players enjoy it and asked us for it. If you look at our buy screen you can see you can lower the stake to a lot lower than the majority of the providers. A lot of players have told us they enjoy dropping the stake down and trying the bonus before landing it naturally to see the potential of the bonus. We appreciate you cannot do this in the UK but we like to cater for our players globally and under all regulations.

In terms of us making less volatile games, we never say never!

However, with a more volatile profile, it can accommodate bigger win potential as well as more innovation on the journey. We do have some less volatile ideas - if and when they get developed further we will update everyone here.
