Lucky Scarabs

Grab your gear, we’re heading down to the North of Africa once again for a raid through the ruins of the ancient Egyptian civilization! You might have been there before as there are countless slots with this theme, but you shouldn’t say no to this adventure. 

The developers at Booming Games have put a young female explorer in charge of this expedition, she’s something between Indiana Jones and Lara Croft. But that’s not everything that Lucky Scarabs has to offer, let’s get into details! 

Theme

The adventure takes place in a beautiful setting, we can see the famous Sphinx on the left side of the screen, the iconic pyramids on the right, while behind the reels we can admire the mighty river Nile flowing towards the sea. 

The symbols themselves are colourful and vibrant, with fine animations playing whenever you are lucky enough to hit winning combinations. The soundtrack is pleasing as well, with a nice Oriental tune accompanying the gameplay. 

Betting Options and Functions

This slot has a standard grid with 5 reels and 3 rows, offering 9 fixed paylines. Three or more symbols on adjacent reels are needed to form a winning combination, but those are valid only if they start from the leftmost reel.

There are four high-value symbols in the game, along with five low-value card royals from Ace to ten. This game has high volatility, and the return to player percentage is 95.39, quite a bit below industry average. 

Features

The first thing that you will notice when opening this game will be the golden scarab that sits right next to the reels. At first you might think it’s just a decoration, but you will soon find out that it’s way more than that. 

While the reels are spinning that scarab will release between 2 and 15 Random Wilds crawling onto the reels, and that has the potential to give you some juicy winning combos! 

The golden scarab also has the power to unleash Sticky Wilds onto the reels, you will see between 1 and 10 of them drop into the grid. 

The Scatter symbols is the gateway to the Free Spins round, three such icons will grant you 8 free rolls. Unfortunately, the free spins session doesn’t come with any extra perks, you will just enjoy spinning the reels for free. The good thing is that the feature can be retriggered. 

Conclusion

Lucky Scarabs is a decent video slot from software company Booming Games, it is not their best product by any means but it does provide solid gameplay and an enjoyable experience thanks to the crisp graphics and good soundtrack. 

This is an ambitious company, though, and most players probably expect more from their games. The Random Wilds feature is quite surprising and rewarding, but the free spins are just plain. Nevertheless, if you enjoy the theme you should definitely play this game.
