How to play Scarab Link (members only)

Wins are paid when matching symbols land on an active payline, usually left to right starting from the leftmost reel. Your total stake is spread across the lines, and each line win is the line bet multiplied by the symbol's paytable value.

Scarab Link is played on a 5×4 grid with 50 paylines.

Set your stake. Choose your total bet per spin between $0.50 and $25. 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.

How winnings work (members only)

What 96.5% RTP costs per $100 wagered

What 96.5% RTP means

Expected return = stake × 96.5%
Over $100 of total bets, the long-run average loss is $3.50

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

Features explained (members only)

4 features explained: hold and win, progressive jackpot, respins, wild symbols

Hold and win

Landing enough special cash or coin symbols starts a respin feature: those symbols lock in place, the respin counter resets each time a new one lands, and their values are collected when the feature ends.

Progressive jackpot

A jackpot that grows with a share of every qualifying bet until someone wins it. Contributions are funded from the game's RTP.

Respins

Selected reels or the whole grid spin again without a new stake, usually triggered by a specific symbol combination or near-miss feature.

Wild symbols

Wilds substitute for regular paying symbols to help complete winning combinations. They do not normally replace scatter or bonus symbols.

Strategy tips (members only)

Size your stake to the volatility. Low-to-medium volatility gives fairly regular hits with occasional bigger features. It is a balanced choice for steady play and bonus wagering. A simple rule: bring at least 150 spins' worth of budget, so a $50 budget suggests a stake of about $0.33.

3 more tips and a session planner

Check jackpot eligibility. Some progressive jackpots require a minimum or maximum stake to win the top prize. Part of every bet funds the jackpot, so base-game RTP is lower.
Bonus wagering: at 96.5% RTP, clearing $1,000 of wagering costs about $35.00 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.
