Valley of the Scarab Slot Review 2024

Valley of the Scarab

Valley of the Scarab is a 5 reel slot which has 100 paylines. It's also a Cryptologic design and it comes with a top jackpot of $7,500 and with free spins, scatters and multipliers.

The theme of the slot is undoubtedly Egyptian and it's one of the most common slot themes you will find these days. It's a fairly typical design for a game that has a focus on the gods of Ancient Egypt and it uses not only the symbols we'd expect from this topic but also a number of playing cards. In the background of the game you will find the valley of the Nile, a fertile place that ensured Egypt's development in those early days, and where the pyramids can be found as well. The reels are well made, with a blue background with Egyptian wall drawings on them. As for the symbols, besides the standard playing card symbols we also get the scarab, the priest, books, Cleopatra and the animal representation of various gods (black cat, Anubis and Horus.

Offering up to 750 coins as a payout, the game doesn't seem to have the best prizes when you consider the maximum coin value of $10 and the fact that it gets the maximum bet up to $1,000. The top jackpot in these conditions will have a value of $7,500. A total of 100 paylines are available in the game and it's only normal for the top payout to be quite big. The smallest value used for a coin is $0.05.

Perhaps one of the reasons for the size of the top jackpot is the fact that the scarab symbol, which awards the top jackpot, appears in stacked mode. The player can potentially get multiple stacked symbols and he can get more than a few top jackpot combinations during the same round if that happens. That's especially true since there are a total of 100 paylines on these 5 reels.

The only major feature of this slot is the Anubis symbol, used as a scatter which awards free spins. The player needs this symbol to appear on all three reels where it is allowed to show up, those being the 1^st, 3^rd and 5^th reels. He gets 7 spins for free, with 2x multipliers.

It's an enjoyable game and despite the large wagers which are made here, it also has the potential for multiple top jackpot combinations in the same round.
