Scarab Gold

We’re once again surrounded by pyramids and ever-burning sun rays in the Scarab Gold online slot from Inspired Gaming.

The huge 6x5 layout stands in front of us and the developer made sure to include quite a few interesting bonuses to enhance the gaming experience to the finest. Let’s jump straight into it, shall we?

Theme and Symbols

Scarab Gold is an online video slot designed and brought to you by Inspired Gaming content provider. The theme of this online edition is Ancient Egypt.

We have to give it to Inspired as far as the graphics of this title are concerned. Everything looks bright and sharp as we get a picture of Ancient Egypitan ruins on both sides of the reels while the pyramid hovers the top right corner.

On top of that, the developer also implements a whole scenery switch which occurs once the bonus feature is triggered. The pay table consists of nicely designed icons out of which the Cleopatra Symbol bears the highest value.

Next in line are 5 Golden Statues, each represented by a different animal. For example, there are Cats, Crocolisks, Bulls… At the bottom of the pay table you’ll find A, K, Q and J royals while the Pyramid stands for the game’s Scatter.

This online edition has no Wild Symbol.

Betting Options and Features

Scarab Gold online slot is built out of 6 reels, each 5 symbols high and produces up to 15,625 ways to win. As long as you keep matching at least 3 symbols on adjacent reels, starting with the leftmost reel, you’re good to go.

What is more, each successful winning hand will trigger the Cascading Reels mechanic which sees the winning symbols removed from the grid and replaced by new icons. As you might, or not, expect, there’s an unlimited increasing multiplier in the Free Spins round.

The maximum bet per spin in this online product reaches £60,00 while the opposite effect holds the number of £0,10 while the game’s best odds lie at 94,90%, which is considered to be below average.

Mystery Symbol - whenever the empty scarab stone icon lands on the reels it has a chance to trigger the Mystery Symbol feature. The reason for this is that you need to land the Jade Scarab symbol on the same spin.

All of the present Scarab Stones will then transform into a matching paying symbol.

Free Spins - 3 or more Pyramid Scatters award 10 spins free of charge. Besides the aforementioned increasing multiplier, there’s a special Blue Scarab symbol that lands during the feature.

It can transform into Coins or the regular paying symbol. The Coins can award extra spins or instant cash values.

Wrapping Up

We can see and appreciate the idea behind the Scarab Gold online video slot but, however, the fact that the title’s RTP is way below average is something that is most likely to keep the punters away from this online product.

We’re not quite sure why Inspired Gaming opted for such a low percentage especially since this company’s online slots usually offer a far better odds.
