Unlike its same-named forerunner, this classy edition is a hell-roaring high variance slot. Pragmatic Play enhanced it with intensive animation and a way past engaging Bonus feature mode.
Theme
Drawing players attention from the very first glance at the screen, the impressive backdrop simply bursts of rich colors, fascinating details, and superb animation. Two magnificent pillars show ancient images through the blazing tongues of eternal flame. The authentic soundtrack is a perfect match, as well as groovy sound effects which accompany winning combinations.
The fascinating golden scarab…
… acts as both a wild and a scatter and pays up to 200x total bet.
Being one of the most significant symbols of ancient Egypt, the powerful scarab plays the main role in this game. This famous lucky charm is made of gold and decorated with stunning gems, but what’s more important it acts as both a wild and a scatter and can substitute for all other symbols without exceptions.
Beautiful Cleopatra is the most high-paying regular symbol while influential Anubis, golden Ankh, and wise Eye of Horus make the rest of the high-value grid. Similar to many other slots, the strongest poker hand illustrates the low-value symbols, just in this case they all are finely crafted to contribute the special atmosphere.
Betting Options and Functions
As mentioned earlier, this is a high-volatile video slot, therefore its modest range of stakes seems to be quite appropriate. Starting with just $0.10 a spin, it ends at the maximum bet of $50 – all in all, it will definitely serve well for every style of a gambler. By the way, the pretty nice RTP of 96.51% absolutely contributes the gameplay.
The standard layout features five reels and three rows where punters can hit their winning combinations on 10 fixed pay lines. To adjust the play in accordance with their preferences and needs, players can use Quick Spin and Battery Saver options, as well as an advanced Autoplay mode.
Features
Besides being the top-paying symbol on the reels, the wondrous scarab has supernatural abilities to replace other symbols and trigger a Free Spins Feature which contains cunning expanding symbols. But first, the players will be amazed by a sparkling sarcophagus and the treasures it hides.
… the Free Spins Feature can be re-triggered unlimitedly …
Striking free or more wild scatter scarabs will activate this Bonus feature and result in 10 free rounds playing with a special randomly selected expanding symbol. The latter pays according to its paytable value on all reels and even on non-adjacent positions.
What’s more:
Hitting at least three golden scarabs during the Free Spins round will trigger a new Free Spins Feature that will be played at the end of the current round. Again, before the free game starts, a new special expanding symbol will be randomly selected for the subsequent Free Spins Round. The best part of it? The number of re-triggers is unlimited!
Our Take
No doubts, Pragmatic Play brought to light a real blockbuster! This game has everything we’re looking for in a video slot: premium graphics, superb animation, and an extremely engaging bonus feature. In brief: a thriller!
If you wish to make your own comparison, take a look at Ancient Egypt - a medium-volatile predecessor of this slot.
