It’s that time of the week again when we look to the south for an online slot machine which will whisk us back in time to Ancient Egypt; this time it’s in the company of Bally Technologies and their release, Ra & The Scarab Temple. It comes with instant cash awards as well as wild features and free spins.

Ra & The Scarab Temple is a five reel slot with four rows and forty fixed paylines; those reels spin against a golden upper portion of the temple with the setting sun providing an atmospheric backdrop.

The high value symbols include the Sphinx’ head, the Eye of Ra, an ankh and a gold ring; lower values are represented by the usual 10, J, Q, K and A.

The basic wild is the golden scarab and it will replace all others to help form winning combos except for the various bonus/special symbols described below.

Bonus Features

Radiating Wilds

If any part of the stacked obelisk symbols is visible on the reels all symbols to its left and right will also become wild after which any wins will be evaluated.

Red Envelope Jackpot

If a red envelope lands on reels one and/or five in the base game you will be awarded the jackpot associated with that envelope.

Mystery Stacked Symbols

Before each spin one of the standard symbols will be selected at random to become stacked on that go.

Free Spins

This is triggered by landing three of the pot of gold or wild bonus symbols anywhere in view; you’ll now get to select from one of the following free spins options:

• Six free spins + 5x multiplier.
• Ten free spins + 3x multiplier.
• Fifteen free spins + 2x multiplier.
• Thirty free spins + 1x multiplier.

Five extra spins can be won by landing three more pots of wild bonus symbols during this round.

Verdict

Ra & The Scarab Temple is a slot which seems slightly over-complicated and basic at the same time but it’s a playable enough addition to the massed ranks of Egyptian-themed slots and it comes with plenty of extra features as well as an RTP of 95.85%.
