About the slot

A five-reel, 243 ways to win slot, Wild Scarabs may have a familiar theme, but it’s taken in entirely new directions by a software developer which has gained a strong reputation for doing just that.The backdrop is a fairly predictable image of Ancient Egypt, but is executed in a way that makes it absolutely stunning to look at, while the reels are adorned with Egyptian artefacts, and gem stones playing the part of the lower value symbols.

Exciting Wild Features

Speaking of the slot, David Reynolds, Games Publisher at Microgaming, said:“Wild Scarabs is a stunning slot with two exciting wild features. Wild Deal™ gives players a chance to win on a non-winning spin in the base game, while scarabs can be can be collected during free spins as Stashed Wilds™.Delivering rich colours and incredible graphics, the game is really brought to life, transporting players back in time to Ancient Egypt.”The features spoke of here do add an extra level of excellence to the slot, with the base game feature adding extra wins, and the free spins feature having the ability to be very lucrative if you’re lucky.Wild Scarabs may not be the most innovative slot Microgaming have released in terms of subject matter, but when the design of the slot is this impressive and the gameplay options are this enticing, it doesn’t have to be!https://youtu.be/YPddPd97PJg
