All the 25 lines are constantly on. A bet is capable to satisfy the broadest circles of players from Canada. It starts at C$0.01 and extends up to C$5 per line thus reaching C$125 per spin.
The slot machine has only 8 non-feature icons including 4 playing cards from J to A, Leather Bags, Guns, Anubis and John Hunter icons. Cards pay from x5 up to x100 a line bet, other non-feature icons award from x5 to x800 a line bet or up to C$4,000.
There are many bonus symbols. The Scarab Queen is a Wild; it appears on reels 2 to 5 and does the job for any non-feature icon but it does not substitute for scatters and bonus icons. The Great Pyramid is a Scatter; 3 Scatters pay x1 the total bet and trigger free spins.
A golden Scarab is a Money symbol. It pops up on reels 1 to 4 in the base game. When it joins forces with Collect symbols landing on reel 5, it triggers a Money Collect feature.
There are five different Collect symbols and chances are to run the feature with 1, 2 or 3 Collect symbols at once. Besides, Money and Collect symbols play an important role during free spins.
Money Collect feature
Money symbols appear on the reels from time to time and always display some random value. It is a cash prize paid out if they do trigger a Money Collect feature.
So, when a Money Symbol lands on reel 1 to 4 along with one or more Collect symbols falling on reel 5, the feature triggers. There are 5 Collect symbols and each brings some bonus that works in combination with the Money Symbol.
The first Collect symbol just reads “Collect”. It makes all Money Symbols add values displayed on them and send this total right to the balance. The best situation happens when there are as many as 12 Money icons (it is a real possibility).
The second one is Extra Credit Collect. It has its own value which is united with values of all Money symbols on the reels and paid out to the lucky player.
The third is Multiplier Collect. It also has a value but it is not a cash prize but a multiplier applied to the combined values of all Money Symbols. It may be as high as x25 and it’s a pity when a multiplier as huge as x25 applies to fun dollars. It produces a tangible result only when the game is played for real money, just like all other Collect Symbols.
The fourth is Expanding Collect. It does a fantastic trick: it makes every reel hosting Money Symbols convert all other icons into Money Symbols of random values. Naturally, all values are tallied and paid out.
The fifth is Respin Collect. It makes all Money Symbols in the triggering spin sticky. They stay on their positions while all other symbols make a spin. Then values of all Money Symbols in the triggering round and all new Money Symbols (if any) are tallied and paid in full.
This bountiful feature may trigger during the base game and capable of earning up to x10,500 since up to 12 Money Symbols may act together with up to 3 Collect Symbols.
Free spins
Landing three scatters on the reels during the base game awards x1 the total bet (up to C$125) and also triggers free spins. Initially, the game awards 8 FS. They run as any regular free spins and the only difference is that Money and Collect Symbols are active and ready to perform. Every time a Money Symbol appears during free spins, its value is added into the Bonus Pot.
When all free spins are finished, the total value collected in the Bonus Pot is returned back to the reels in the form of a giant Money Symbol covering reels 1 to 4 entirely. One extra spin is awarded and the task is to land any Collect Symbol on reel 5. If it happens, the value displayed on the giant Money Symbol is paid as an extra award to the win in the current free spin round. The feature is retriggerable and awards 8 extra free spins every time three scatters hit the reels.
