How To Play Pyramid of Fortune

Pyramid of Fortune is a card game where you attempt to build a pyramid of cards eight rows high without encountering misfortune along the way.

The top card is considered the savior card and is dealt face down. This card can save you once in the game, however if you can avoid using this card you qualify for the progressive jackpot (detailed later) should you completely build the pyramid.

As each new row is dealt, if you avoid misfortune you will be given an offer allowing you to cash out. If you accept the offer, the game ends and you are paid. Keep in mind that the offer may be less than your initial wager. The offer is based on the sum of the cards on the current row multiplied by ten. Note: Once you accept an offer, you will be shown how the remainder of the game would have played out.


Example of reaching the third row. The sum of the row being 5 (x10) makes the offer 50.

The egyptian card pictured above is a rare card and saves the complete row from misfortune (as indicated by all cards being highlighted).

  Row Multiplier

If the entire row is of the same rank, you receive a multiplier for the remainder of game to all of your offers. The multiplier is based on how many cards are on the current row.


Example of a multiplier bonus.

  What is Misfortune?
You suffer misfortune when cards in two consecutive rows connect to each other of the same rank. If this happens, the savior card may be played to attempt to keep the game going.


Example of misfortune - the connected sixes.
