Money Collect bonus
A hunt for hidden treasure turns into a heart-pounding adventure thanks to golden scarabs. The sacred beetles that were worshipped in Ancient Egypt may hit reels 1β4 at times and display a random money value. When a Collect symbol appears on the fifth reel, all the values visible on top of the beetles are paid out with some modifications corresponding to the specific Collect type:
- Collect: All values on the scarabs are simply added and paid out
- Multiplier Collect: The value of each scarab on the screen is increased by the multiplier shown on the Collect symbol. They are then added together and awarded
- Extra Collect: The amount of money on the Collect symbol is added to each scarab. The values are then tallied and awarded
- Respin Collect: All scarabs stay in place, while the remaining cells respin, which can bring new scarabs to the screen. All money amounts visible at the end of the respin are then added together and awarded
- Expanding Collect: All scarabs expand vertically, with the new ones taking random money values. Then all money amounts are tallied and paid out
Wild and scatter symbols
A beautiful scarab queen in fine feather is a wild symbol. She stands for non-feature symbols when possible and appears in a stacked layout, one on top of another. The only limitation to her is that she cannot land on the first reel.
A sunlit golden pyramid is a scatter symbol that counts in any place. Similarly to the scarab queen, pyramids cannot appear everywhere, landing only on reels 2, 3 and 4. Having done so, they pay out the total bet and start a free spin feature.
Free spins
A bonus round consists of 8 free spins (can be triggered unlimitedly), during which the Money Collect is active but performs a little differently. All dollar amounts displayed on top of the scarabs are placed into the pot. The final free spin takes the form of a Super Spin that determines whether you win the entire pot or miss it. If any Collect symbol lands on the fifth reel during the Super Spin, the bonus pot is yours.
