Theme – Ancient Egypt

As soon as you start the game and see the High Priestess you’ll understand the theme of the slot’s story. It’s all about the enigmatic Priestess and the treasures and gold she bestows.

The beautiful Priestess is the star of the show and you’ll see lots of rich golden colours throughout the game, the Hold and Respin Bonus round is dripping in gold.

The reel imagery in order of value is the High Priestess herself. Followed by the Egyptian symbols of the cross-shaped ankh, the Eye of Ra and the Golden Pharaoh. Next on the list are the Egyptian gods: Horus the falcon god, Anubis the dog and Maahes the lion. You can check the paytable to find out the value of each symbol.

Reels

The Scarab Link game has 5 reels and 4 rows per reel. 

Paylines

There are 50 non-adjustable paylines for this slot game. 

RTP

Return to Player or RTP as it’s commonly known is the forecast percentage of stakes that will be returned to players. It is usually somewhere between 94% and 96%. Scarab Link is 96.05% which slightly exceeds the average percentage.

The game provider of Scarab Link is IGT and they use this RTP as a default value but you’ll find different RTPs across various operators. We’ve included a few different percentages in some of the  UK online casinos and added these sites to our table below.

It’s worth mentioning that there’s more than RTP to consider when looking for a site to play at. Other factors are payment options, game library, customer support, welcome bonuses and deals and mobile optimisations, etc. Our casino reviews look at all these variables and more.

Nowadays most players like to try out several games. In response to this, we created a page with the slot sites we recommend. If you’re a UK player you’ll be able to launch a game straight away.

Play Experience & First Impressions

The ancient Egypt theme works well for a slot game as there is so much scope for building a story with all of the characters and symbols from history. The imagery and music work well for setting the tone of the game. 

By Jenny Mason

IGT likes to produce Egyptian-themed slots as there are few on the market and I enjoy playing games with this theme. This follow-up game is more interesting than its predecessor the Scarab slot game. 

I like the way the game is straightforward to follow. And if you need any further assistance, the paytable and rules are easy to understand. Like lots of modern slot games the base game does what it says on the tin and the exciting part comes with the extra features. 

The Wild Stays Charges Then Pays feature is fantastic. Each time a Scarab symbol appears on the reels in the base game, its frame is locked on the reels. On the 10th round, the Wild Stays Charges Then Pays feature activates and the Scarabs transform into Wilds. The reels are then evaluated and the wins are paid out.

The jackpot element of the game is a pull for me as I’m a fan of these types of games. The fact that there are four available is even better, especially the Grand which is progressive so there’s a chance of winning a fair amount.

With great imagery, excellent bonus features and a decent RTP you should definitely give this game a go.
