What these numbers mean

An RTP of 95.97% means a house edge of 4.03% — the expected cost is 4.03 units per 100 staked over the long run, whatever a single session does.

Rise of Pyramids is a low volatility game: wins land often and small, which makes the bankroll curve smooth without changing the long-run cost.

The advertised ceiling is x5 000. Max win figures describe the tail of the distribution, not a realistic target: on most games with a ceiling this high the probability per spin is below one in a million.

Against our catalogue the number is below the median of 96.13%, higher than 27% of the games whose RTP we verified. That comparison matters more than the raw figure, because "96%" only sounds generous next to nothing.

Hit ratio is 27.1%, meaning roughly 27 spins in 100 return something — most of them less than the stake. A hit is not a win.

Features: Bonus Buy, In-game Freespins, Respin. Note that studios frequently ship the bonus-buy path at a different RTP than the base game, and the lobby rarely says which figure it is quoting.

Released 2024-05-16. Release date matters for RTP: newer titles are more likely to ship with several configurable builds, which is what lets two casinos price the same game differently.

Stakes and layout

Frequently asked

What is the RTP of Rise of Pyramids?

Rise of Pyramids has a published RTP of 95.97%, a house edge of 4.03%. We have not yet found a casino serving it at a different RTP build.

Can I play Rise of Pyramids for free?

Yes. Rise of Pyramids has a free demo with the same mathematics as the real-money version — the only thing that changes is that the balance is not yours. A demo cannot tell you the RTP build a particular casino serves.

Is Rise of Pyramids rigged?

Rise of Pyramids is a Pragmatic Play game, so the outcome is produced by the studio's certified RNG rather than by the casino, and it is not provably fair in the cryptographic sense — you cannot recompute a spin from a seed. What the casino does control is which RTP build it serves. That is the real variable, and it is measurable.
