How to play Scarab Gold (members only)

Instead of fixed lines, matching symbols on adjacent reels pay in any position, starting from the leftmost reel. The more matching symbols there are on each reel, the more ways the combination pays.

Scarab Gold is played on a 6×5 grid with 15,625 ways.

Set your stake. Choose your total bet per spin between $0.10 and $60. Wins are paid as multiples of this stake.
Check the paytable. Open the game's info screen to see what each symbol pays and the exact rules for this version.
Spin. Each spin's result is decided by a certified random number generator, independent of previous spins.
Trigger the bonus. Land the required scatter symbols to start the free spins feature.
Optional bonus buy. Where permitted, pay a fixed price to start the bonus directly.

How winnings work (members only)

What 95% RTP costs per $100 wagered

Because winning symbols tumble away and are replaced, one paid spin can produce a chain of wins. All of them count towards that spin's total.

What 95% RTP means

Expected return = stake × 95%
Over $100 of total bets, the long-run average loss is $5.00

RTP is a long-run average across millions of spins. Any single session can finish far above or below it, especially on a medium volatility game.

Features explained (members only)

4 features explained: tumbling reels, mystery symbols, free spins, bonus buy

Tumbling reels

After a win, the winning symbols are removed and new ones fall into their place. This can create several consecutive wins from a single paid spin. Also called cascades or avalanches.

Mystery symbols

Special symbols that all reveal the same randomly chosen regular symbol, which can complete several wins at once.

Free spins

A bonus round of spins played at no cost to your balance, usually triggered by landing three or more scatter symbols. Wins during the round are added to your balance, and many games let you retrigger extra spins.

Bonus buy

Lets you pay a fixed multiple of your stake to enter the bonus feature straight away instead of waiting for it to trigger. It raises variance considerably and is not available in every country (it is banned in the UK).

Strategy tips (members only)

Size your stake to the volatility. Medium volatility balances hit rate and win size. Expect dry spells between features, but not extreme swings. A simple rule: bring at least 200 spins' worth of budget, so a $50 budget suggests a stake of about $0.25.

3 more tips and a session planner

Treat bonus buys as high-risk. Buying the feature concentrates your budget into a few large-variance rounds. Many results return less than the price paid. Read our bonus buy guide first.
Bonus wagering: at 95% RTP, clearing $1,000 of wagering costs about $50.00 on average. Check the bonus terms, as some casinos exclude specific games. Run your numbers in the wagering calculator.
Set limits before you spin. Decide your loss limit and session time in advance and stop when you reach either. No pattern or betting system changes the outcome of a spin.
