Slot Summary

One action matters most: land three Scarab Scatters and the locked sixth reel opens for free spins. Scroll of Dead uses that reveal to distinguish its Ancient Egypt story from a standard five-reel book slot, while Play'n GO places it inside the Dead series. A randomly chosen expanding symbol then shifts attention from ordinary line wins to how much of the enlarged reelset it can cover, supporting the game's high volatility and x7500 ceiling.

How It Plays

The base game uses five reels and 10 paylines. Regular combinations pay across that compact format, while Scarab symbols supply the route into the main feature.

Scarabs perform two jobs as Wild and Scatter symbols. They can substitute in ordinary combinations, but collecting enough together is what changes the reel structure.

Theme & Atmosphere

Ancient Egypt provides the setting, with the Scroll of Shai and the God of Fate giving the feature trigger a mythological purpose beyond treasure hunting.

The Pharaoh, Animals, Mythology, and Treasure themes meet through the scarab motif, which connects the story directly to the slot's most important symbol.

Mythology Egypt Animals Treasure Ancient Pharaoh

Features & Win Potential

The expanding-reel feature is structural rather than cosmetic: the sixth reel remains locked during ordinary spins and becomes active only after the Scatter trigger.

During free spins, a randomly chosen regular symbol becomes the expanding symbol. When it lands, it can cover its reel and create combinations across the enlarged field.

Bonus & Free Spins

Free Spins begin after three or more Scarab Scatters land. Their arrival opens the sixth reel, giving the feature more symbol positions than the base game.

A special expanding symbol is selected at the start of the round. The feature's outcome depends on how often that symbol appears across the six active reels.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (High). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (94.28%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (7,500×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
