I know we’ve talked about ancient Egyptian-themed slot games in the past (ahem, Sphinx Wild), but there’s a reason there seems to be so many out there – they’re popular! And one of the most popular games is a relatively new addition from IGT – Scarab.
Scarab is a five-reel slot game with 50 paylines to possibly win on. The maximum total bet is $4 and the maximum win per wager is $1,199. Your odds of winning on a particular bet is 1 in 3.2576 or just over 30%!
So what makes Scarab stand out from the rest of the sandy crowd? A few unique bonus features!
Locking Scarab Feature
Scarab games are numbered from 1 to 10, and the counter above the reels indicates the current game number. Game numbers increase sequentially from 1 to 10 and reset back to 1. After the reel spin of any game, a scarab symbol appearing in any position may create a locked frame. After the reel spin of game 10, all of the locked frames will unlock and turn into WILDs! WILDs can substitute for all pay symbols and greatly increase your chance of winning!
Fever Game Bonus
When you spin three or more Bonus pyramid symbols, the fever game bonus will be triggered. First up is a choice of how many fever games you want!

Fever games use different reels from the main game and cost one penny to play. Bonus pays are awarded based on the bet per line at the time that the bonus was initially triggered. Scarab symbols do not appear during fever games, and fever games can be retriggered up to 99 times!
Scarab might seem like just another Egyptian-themed slot at first glance, but its unique locking scarab feature and creative Fever Spins keep it from getting lost in the sand!
