Wild Scarabs

The Wild Scarabs slot is a 5 reel, 3 row Egpytian themed slot from Microgaming.

The Wild Deal feature in the base game rewards non-win spins, while the generous Free Spins bonus and Stashed Wilds will have you reaching for another bottle of Bolly. And if you don´t manage to find any of those Wild Scarabs, you could always fire up the Lara Croft Temples and Tombs slot which is set in the same part of the world.

The Graphics

Microgaming did a great job with the graphics, recreating the burning desert sun and sparkling Egyptian artefacts.  Behind the reels is scenic ancient Egypt, boasting pyramids, grand ruins, palms and the winding Nile River. While the reels themselves are made of marble and gold.

Behind each reel position is a black background, and I like the up-tempo authentic sounding drums and pipes.

Wild Scarabs Slot Game Play

This artefact-stuffed treasure trove gives you 243 ways to win over 3 rows and 5 reels. That other Egyptian game, the Gods of Giza slot has 4 rows, so this is more standard fare.

The symbols are made up of six glinting gems, the iconic Eye of Ra, the sign of life the Ankh, the profile of two bejewelled gods Anubis (with a jackal head), and falcon-headed Horus. Now they obviously like a Bobby Dazzler, I bet they´d like the Crystal Lotus slot or one of our other shiny games.
The Wild, as the game’s title suggests is the famed Gold Scarab beetle, a sign of immortality which substitutes for all icons except the Scatter, the blue artefact with the orange stone.

The Bonuses

If you’ve had a non-winning spin but you’ve secured a Wild on the middle reel then you can cash in with the Wild Deal. This smasher of a feature will add up to four Wilds onto the reels to give you a win. I love a reversal of fortune, or a Peripeteia as the ancients called it!

The meaty Free Spins game is triggered by landing a trio of Scatters – manage this and you’ll get your mitts on a generous 10 free games.

Wild Scarabs slot also has an innovative Stashed Wilds feature which comes into its own during the free spins mode. If you land Wilds that don’t produce a winning combination, they are “stashed” until you have conjured up 3x or more into your store. At this fortuitous point they are popped back onto the reels to guarantee you a win. How marvellous!

Monkey Verdict

TheWild Scarabs slot is a great little game and with 3 bonuses on offer, and  small and sometimes frequent pay-outs. I particularly liked the Stashed Wild feature.

4 out of 5 bananas.
