Wild Scarabs causes a bit of an emotional vortex. On one side, the release of a new Microgaming slot is always something worth getting excited for, but a game based on Ancient Egypt struggles to gain even a raised eyebrow from most players due to the immense number of slot games that exist based on that very concept.As a slot that ticks both of those boxes, players may be a little confused by Wild Scarabs, so let’s take a closer look at this slot and see if its worthy of consideration.

About the slot

Wild Scarabs is a five reel, 243 ways to win slot that is playable from 20p to £60 a spin on all compatible desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.The game is based around Scarabs which sail through the sky unleashing various treats as they do.The background is beautiful, and the animations bring it to life nicely, while the reels are full of stunning images including various coloured gem stones playing the lower values, and the higher value symbols being represented by Ankh, Anubis, Horus, and more.

Gameplay

A non-winning spin with a wild on the middle reel will trigger the Wild Deal feature here, where up to four extra wilds will be added to create a guaranteed win.Land three or more scatter symbols and you will trigger the free spins feature, which will give you ten free spins initially.As you play these spins, any wilds not part of winning combinations will be stashed, once you’ve collected three or more, they are added to the reels to guarantee a winning outcome, with an extra free respin after each until all stashed wilds have been returned to the reels.This isn’t the most exciting or unique game Microgaming have produced, but the features are interesting enough to catch the attention.
