Scarab Gold slot review
Scarab Gold is an Inspired slot launched in 2021 and set in ancient Egypt. It plays on six reels and five rows with 15,625 ways to win, and winning symbols cascade away so new ones can drop in. Its signature mechanic is Mystery Boost, where blank stone scarabs come to life when a jewelled scarab lands with them.

How Scarab Gold plays
The 6x5 grid pays on ways rather than fixed lines, which is where the 15,625 figure comes from. After each win, the paying symbols are removed and the gaps refill from above, which means one spin can produce several wins in a row.
Mixed in with the regular symbols are blank stone scarabs. On their own they do nothing, and they land often. Their value depends on the jewelled scarab:
- Blank scarabs: stay inert unless a jewelled scarab appears at the same time.
- Jewelled scarab: the transform symbol. When it lands, the blank scarabs in view turn into a matching paying symbol.
- Scatters: three or more open the free spins.
Because the transformation can repeat on the cascades that follow, a grid full of blanks is less of a dead spin than it looks.
Free spins with an unlimited multiplier
Three or more scatters start the free spins. The defining rule of the round is the win multiplier: it goes up by one with every cascade and has no upper limit, so a long chain of cascades keeps lifting the value of each new win.
Inside the bonus, special scarabs take over from the base-game blanks. Each one can reveal a reel symbol, a bonus coin or extra spins. Coin wins add to the round alongside the cascade wins.
Compared with Egyptian slots that rely on an expanding symbol in free spins, Scarab Gold leans on cascades instead, and its bonus rewards long chains rather than one lucky symbol.
