TRIVIA
An updated version was released in 2007 (Konami K2V hardware - Game ID: KS048). In this version, the substitute has been changed to the 'Man' from "Empire of the Pyramids". Other graphics have been changed, along with the music. The Top Box artwork remains unchanged though.

Incan Pyramid is also available on the Wild Fire progressive jackpot.

The game "Rapid Fire" is also based on Incan Pyramid.

TIPS AND TRICKS
3, 4 or 5 Pyramids triggers feature spin.
During feature spin, only birds appear on the reels.
The more birds spun up, the more free games are won as per the chart.

During the free games, all wins are doubled. The feature spin can be won during the free games if 3 or more Pyramids are spun up, and will go back to the bird screen to add more games as per the table again. As the game says, 'MORE BIRDS MORE FREE GAMES!'.

Hint: Most of the time you can tell how many games are won by simply counting the birds and multiplying by 3 (you rarely get enough birds for 50 or more games!).

Gamble Feature:
Incan Pyramid has a standard red/black double up feature.

Press Red or Black button to attempt to double your current win. If you are correct, your win is doubled. If you're incorrect, you lose the credits bet.

Gamble Feature ends when you press Take Win, lose, or if you pick 5 correct cards in a row in the same feature.
