Summary:
- Yggdrassil Gaming releases Scara-Bucks slot
- Betting range from $/€0.20 – $/€70
- Max win of 3,100x
Game-making lab that mixes “stunning graphics, clever mechanics, and engaging gameplay”, Yggdrasil Gaming, has launched “Scara-Bucks“, a vibrant slot meant to carry players straight into Ancient Egypt.
The game, which fans of Play’n GO’s “Reactoonz” might find familiar, combines cluster pays mechanics with cascading wins and a rich selection of exciting modifiers.
The slot is set on a 7×7 grid under the blazing desert sun, with gold coins scattered across the floor and a pharaoh ruling over everything. To form a win, players must match a minimum of five matching symbols either vertically or horizontally.
Once the winning cluster disappears, new symbols will cascade down and potentially create a chain reaction. The game has high volatility, and bets range from 20c to $/€70 per spin, which means players can expect to stay on their toes nonstop. With a top RTP of 96%, Yggdrasil’s new slot is competitive among modern real money online slots.
Symbols feature four low-value icons representing various Egyptian objects and four high-value gods (Sobek, Thoth, Anubis, Horus). Clusters of five pay between 0.1x and 1x your bet, while massive clusters of 15 or more can award up to 750x the original stake.
Wild symbols can only appear through features and substitute for other symbols, helping create bigger wins.
Special Features
The game truly shines when it comes to its modifier features, starting with the Golden Lotus, where every win fills a meter, triggering up to four random modifiers (Wild Wrath, Wild Surge, Wild Enchant). Fill it five times, and the dramatic Pharaoh Rush modifier appears, splitting a 3×3 Pharaoh Wild into multiple wilds that cascade across the grid.
Form a 2×2 square of symbols, and watch them merge into a Big Symbol with a 2x multiplier during the Devine Blessing feature. The Wild Scarab modifier feature works as follows: randomly chosen low symbols leave behind two wilds after a win, creating more chances to score.
Finally, the Scarab Shift feature sparks potential wins on losing spins, when a random number of wilds can pop up.
All in all, the combination of cascading wins, cluster mechanics, and layered features makes Scara-Bucks both dynamic and addictive.
