Scarab Cash Megaways Slot by Triple Edge Studios 🎰 Free Demo and Review

Scarab Cash Megaways Review

We have definitely seen the same blueprint many times before, but Triple Edge Studios somehow still managed to keep us engaged for a good while with this game. Scarab Cash Megaways is a somewhat strange mix of ancient Egypt, gems, and classic slot vibes, and the brick and mortar charm shines through in both the sound effects and the way the reels snap into place per spin. It adds up to a satisfying experience, not least when the Rolling Reels kick in.

There was something about the way the symbols explode, the excellent pace, and the sound effects that just managed to captivate us. You get a top horizontal reel that can provide wilds, and these are collected to randomly trigger the Jackpot Pick Game. The second thing to look forward to is the progressive multiplier bonus round, but the overall win cap of 5,000x might not go down too well with some players. We still recommend a closer look though, not least if you enjoy the nostalgia of classic slot machines.

Scarab Cash Megaways Slot Features

The premium gemstone symbols pay either 2 or 7.5 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and the top-tier diamond with a golden cross pays 50x your stake for the same. The Scarab Cash Wild steps in for pay symbols to help complete and/or improve wins, and it can appear only on the top horizontal extra reel.

The Rolling Reels mechanic explodes winning symbols, and the gaps are filled by new and/or existing symbols dropping down from above. This repeats as long as you keep winning. Wilds are collected throughout the Rolling Reels feature in all stages of the game, and this may trigger the Jackpot Pick Game once the Rolling Reels feature has played out.

Your chances of triggering the Jackpot Pick Game increases the more wilds you collect between triggers, and you get to pick from 12 face-down cards in this feature. You will make picks until you have matched up 3 tokens, and you then win the corresponding jackpot. You are thus guaranteed to win either the Mini, Minor, Major, or Mega Jackpot, and they pay 15x, 50x, 100x, or 5,000x your stake, respectively.

You need 4 blinged up scatters that spell out C-A-S-H to trigger the Bonus Round, and this gives you 12 free spins. You get +5 additional free spins on top of that per additional triggering scatter. The bonus round comes with a progressive win multiplier that starts at x1, and it increases by +1 per Rolling Reels win. You win +5 or +10 extra spins if you slide in either 3 or 4 scatters on the top horizontal reel during the feature.

Just to be clear, you can trigger the Jackpot Pick Game also from within the bonus round, and the bonus round multiplier never resets for as long as the feature lasts. The multiplier also does not come with an upper limit.

Review Summary

We enjoyed the classic vibe this release comes with, and it’s only accentuated by the ‘modern’ Megaways engine. The pace is excellent with the turbo switched on, and you get nostalgic sound effects as the reels snap into place one by one. The sound effect when winning symbols explode is also highly satisfying, and the same can be said about the way banknotes are flying each time the cashroll Wild symbol is collected in the diamond disco ball thing to the left.

That being said, the actual gameplay and the features aren’t all that original, but the enjoyable packaging goes a long way. The Jackpot Pick Game rewards loyalty, and it’s a decent, albeit common, motivator to keep you going. The bonus round comes with the standard progressive multiplier system, and it’s a bit surprising that Triple Edge Studios have decided to cap the max win at only 5,000x. This is half of what most people expect from this engine, but it may be worth checking out if you’re in a nostalgic mood or just want a classic experience.
