Crystal Scarabs

Crystal Scarabs by 3 Oaks Gaming features a 5x4 reel layout with 15 fixed paylines, where wins form by matching symbols from left to right, using low-paying royals (A, K, Q, J) and high-paying Egyptian icons like Ankh, Lotus, Eye of Ra, Pharaoh, and Cleopatra, topped by a Wild scarab paying up to 150x the stake for five. The game incorporates high volatility mechanics, including a Pyramid Scatter triggering Free Spins, Bonus symbols in various colors for Hold and Win-style collection, Boost symbols enhancing multipliers or energy collection, and fixed jackpots (Grand 5000x, Major 100x, Minor 50x, Mini 20x) awarded by gathering gold symbols in the bonus round. Visually, it presents vibrant ancient Egyptian graphics with pyramids, temples, and dunes backdrop, complemented by thematic sound effects and an intuitive interface displaying bet, balance, and jackpot meters. What distinguishes it is the Symbols collection (Energy) system combined with Boost functionality, allowing dynamic progression toward jackpots without cascading reels or complex grids, alongside a dynamic paytable adjusting to bet size for transparent payout evaluation. Released in November 2023, it supports bets from €0.2 to €44, emphasizing jackpot hunting over frequent small wins due to its high volatility and below-average 95.6% RTP.
