Jewel Scarabs

Sand? Check. Pyramids? Check. Camels? Check. Yes, dear readers, it’s another slot based in ancient Egypt! This time around, we’re focusing on the scarab, an icon in Egyptian religion associated with immortality and rebirth.

No doubt, a few can be found in the vast dunes. And with Red Tiger Gaming’s help, we plan to uncover a few. These scarabs may not grant us immortality, but they may just help us loot the pharaoh’s riches!

Jewel Scarabs Slot Review

The game is played on a five-reel board with nine fixed paylines. It’s far from the best release this developer has even put forward, as far as graphics are concerned. Don’t get us wrong, it looks great. The desert at sunset looks beautiful, as does the occasional burst of sand. But it lacks detailed animations other titles launched by this software provider. It seems like all the animation effort went into the Wild-Scatter beetle!

Which gives us an excellent segue to talk about symbol designs. They’re a mixture of playing card royals, and familiar icons we’ve seen thousands of times before. It’s safe to say this part hasn’t impressed us too much. None of these symbols look bad. The playing card royals even show signs of extra effort put into them to make them fit the theme better. No, it’s just the lack of imagination in Jewel Scarabs that turns us off.

At this point, we were hoping the videoslot was ready to sweep us off our feet with an amazing special feature or two. And what they have is exciting! The Wild and Scatter have been combined in a single icon. This means you’ll always be excited to see the Scarab on the board. It can increase your odds of winning as a Wild. Alternatively, it can activate a free spins round with a progressive multiplier active. The sky is the limit!

Bonus Features

All special features revolve around the Scarab in some form or another. So let’s take a closer look at them, and see if they make our beetle friend proud!

• Wild Scarab:

The Wild-Scatter can land on any position on the reel that it wants. If it is part of a winning combination, it will grow wings, and fly to a different position on the board. The Wild will keep traveling like this so long as it is part of a win. If it goes to a position where it’s not part of a winning combination, it will disappear from the reels.

• Golden Spins:

Collect three Scatters at the same time to trigger the free spins round. During Golden Spins, Scarabs that are part of a winning combination have their multiplier increased by one with every spin. If more than one multiplier is active at the same time, they multiply each other for even bigger wins!
