Scara-Bucks Slot Review

About the Game

• Get FALLING WILDS on the grid!
• Collect magical energy and activate GOLDEN LOTUS FEATURES!
• Create BIG Symbols to DOUBLE YOUR WINS!

Welcome to the Scara-Bucks video slot from Yggdrasil Gaming, featuring the Scarab Wild, Scarab’s Move, Pharaoh’s Charge, Golden Lotus, Wild’s Blessing, Wild’s Wrath, Wild’s Charm, Wild’s Splash, and Divine Blessing features!

Scara-Bucks is a 7×7 grid video slot that uses a cluster payout system to award wins. Winning combinations are formed by groups of 5 or more identical symbols touching each other horizontally and/or vertically. After a payout, winning symbols disappear from the reels, and the remaining symbols drop down to the available positions. New symbols are then added from above to fill the empty spaces, and the process continues until no more wins are formed.

Wild Symbol

The Wild symbol substitutes for all other symbols in winning combinations. Wild symbols can only appear through features. Wild symbols are not included in the GOLDEN LOTUS features. Wild symbols can only appear as part of the SCARAB WILD, SCARAB MOVE, and GOLDEN LOTUS features.

Pharaoh Rush Feature

Pharaoh Rush Wild

The Pharaoh’s Charge Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols.

When all five GOLDEN LOTUS meters are fully charged, the Pharaoh’s Charge feature is added to the queue. Pharaoh’s Charge adds a 3×3 Pharaoh Wild symbol to a random position, which moves and splits with each cascade—first into two 2×2 Pharaoh Wild symbols, and then into nine 1×1 Pharaoh Wild symbols. New symbols cascade from above, filling the grid before each Pharaoh’s turn.

Divine Blessing Feature

If four identical symbols appear adjacent to each other in a square formation, they combine to form a single large 2×2 symbol. Wins are doubled in any winning combinations involving one or more large symbols.

Scarab Wild Feature

At the start of each spin, a random low-value symbol is designated as a SCARAB WILD. If it is part of a winning combination, it transforms, leaving behind two Wild symbols. Scarab Wilds can substitute for any other symbol, increasing the odds of winning.

Scarab Move Feature

If a spin doesn’t result in a win, 4 to 8 Scarab Wild symbols may randomly appear on the reels, offering an additional chance to form a winning combination.

Golden Lotus Feature

All winning symbols charge the special Shell Evolution meter. Each symbol charges the Golden Lotus progress meter by one point, and it takes 25 symbols to fill one segment of the meter. Once a segment is filled, a random Golden Lotus is added to the queue. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th segments of the meter can be filled with the WILD BLESSING, WILD WRATH, WILD SPLASH, and WILD CHARM features. Each of these features can be retriggered, but no more than 4 times per round.

Once the Pharaoh’s Charge meter is filled, further wins are not counted. The Golden Lotus meter resets at the start of the next round. A maximum of four Golden Lotus features can be stored in the queue, and after the fifth fill, the player is guaranteed to receive the Pharaoh’s Charge feature. All accumulated features are activated sequentially after the current round’s winning streak ends.
These include the following:

• WILD BLESSING – transforms 3 to 6 symbols into Wild Pearls and simultaneously destroys all adjacent symbols.

• WILD WRATH – destroys all low-value symbols on the screen.

• WILD SPLASH – places a Wild symbol in the center position and creates two intersecting diagonal lines across the grid, which then reveal the same randomly selected symbol.

• WILD CHARM – selects a random low-value symbol and transforms all instances of it into another random symbol.

• PHARAOH’S ATTEMPT – Adds a 3×3 Wild symbol to a random position that moves and splits on each cascade, first into two 2×2 Wild symbols and then into nine 1×1 Wild symbols.
