We already know that Ancient Egyptians loved games, and in the last 10-15 years, we learned that the game developers, in turn, also really utterly love Ancient Egyptians. How else can we explain over 500 titles globally from all different providers based on this old civilization?
The slot comes in a 243 win ways format, with Low Volatility (low but frequent payoffs are to be expected), sufficient RTP of 96.28%, and reasonable for low variance and short cycle ultimate winning prospect of 104 000 CAD (according to the developer) – calculated as 1733x the total bet via max stake of 60 CAD.
There is pair of Wild features, which makes the game amusing despite the threadbare topic and all stereotyped symbols. First, there is a Wild Deal added component on non-winning rounds in the base game, making you wish not to see any combinations when you hit the spin button.
Second, and in the Free Spins stockpiling, Wilds will eventually release them to make 1-2 supercharged and profitable spins when they drop without win contribution.
Ancient Scarabs are believed to be the holders of mysterious secrets. If you want to know some of their enigmas, launch the Wild Scarabs game first for free in the DEMO version on our site. No download or login is required.
Personal testers’ opinion about Wild Scarabs slot
From the ‘all revealing’ /title, through the overused theme to the unimpressive paytable (typical for 243 win ways slots) – nothing could be called awesome here. It is OK, but we doubt you will remember this particular game after 10 slots with the Egyptian motif. Scatters are the top symbol, Wilds don’t double wins in both main and Free Spins, and the exact values of the paytable are:
Wild Scarabs gives a variety of win opportunities in the base game. It is very high hit frequency of 39% doesn’t get humdrum like other 243 liners. And as many low-rollers will appreciate here, you can play with as little as 20 cents per spin. This is certainly a piece of good news for the players on a tight budget and the bonus hunters, as they can participate in this ancient adventure, trying to complete the wagering conditions (with minuscule stakes) and even win some.
The regular wins (although on the smallest side) and the Wild Deal every now and then (in the base rounds) help to sustain till the Free Spins. Our test group booked only 100x the total bet maximum win, but in all honesty, there was not a single test session that ended on red.
All things considered, we recommend the Wild Scarab online slot for playing with both bonus money and real deposits. Playing here doesn’t require a lot of initial credits. You can win decent amounts; just don’t get insatiate and rush with the max bet. The ideal approach is using medium stakes and closing your session after a generous Free Spins round.
The Wild Scarabs is a partial clone from the Dragonz slot machine (Microgaming 2016), repeating some of the features of the playful creatures of the original 243 win ways slot. The developer decreased the risk to low volatility with the Egyptian theme game and tweaked some of the values on the paytable and the bet range.
Also scrapped 2 of the FS modes and the remaining 2 from Switch and Gobble to Wild Deal and Wild Stash, and voila! A new game is born! If Microgaming is not ashamed of such manners of running their business, who are we to judge them? Needless to say – we disapprove of reskinning old slots and trying to bamboozle the new and inexperienced players. The rest surely see through the ‘oldest trick in the software book.’
Bonus Features
- Wilds
Shiny Scarab is the Wild, acting as the usual substitution and participating in the following 2 features: - Wild Deal
If a Wild drops on reel 3 during the base game on a non-winning spin, it has the power to add extra 2, 3, or 4 Wilds anywhere on the reels to provide a guaranteed win. - Stashed Wilds
Wilds, which fall at any non-winning spin in the FS, will be collected above the grid. Gather 3 or more, and they will be randomly spread across the reels, producing a guaranteed win. You can expect activation of this function 1-2 times during the entire FS round. - Free Spins
3+ Scatters will secure 10 Free Spins, with no Multiplier and no re-trigger, just the Stashed Wilds feature.
