Introduction to Scarab Rush Power Combo
Scarab Rush Power Combo is a casino slot from Just For The Win with an Egyptian theme. Like many games from the Games Global family, this release has a Power Combo feature, where the three different features in the bonus game can be combined for a more powerful spinning experience. It’s a re-spin feature that differentiates itself from the classical Hold & Win feature since the cash symbols can move upwards on the reels and reach multipliers at the top of them. Let’s dive in and have a look at how it works.
Theme, Gameplay, and Payouts
Scarab Rush Power Combo is a video slot from Just For The Win featuring 5 reels with 4 rows and 20 paylines. The Min.bet is 0.2, and the Max.bet is 50. The game’s RTP is 96.1%, and the max win is capped at 5,000x the bet. Scarab Rush Power Combo has high volatility and a hit frequency of 31.53%.
Although Scarab Rush Power Combo has an Egyptian theme, we’re not taken to the usual spot of sandy deserts and pyramids. Instead, the semitransparent reels have a blue and purple background that seems to stretch on forever. In the background, golden characters travel upwards. On top of the five reels are three golden baskets that represent the bonus game features Push, Boost, and Extra. To make a win, you need to land 3 or more matching symbols on one of the 20 paylines going left to right. The game is available on mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers.
The lower-paying symbols in Scarab Rush Power Combo are 10, J, Q, K, and A. They pay 1x the bet for wins of 5 symbols. The higher-paying symbols are sticks, Eye of Ra, Ankh Crosses, rings, and amulets. They will give you 1.5x the bet for a 5-of-a-kind win. The Wild Symbol is a scarab that substitutes for all symbols except the Token Symbols. It’s also the best-paying symbol on its own, awarding 4x the bet for a 5-of-a-kind win.
Special Features & Slot Mechanics
What is the max win in the slot Scarab Rush Power Combo?
You can win up to 5,000x the bet.
What features are available in the slot Scarab Rush Power Combo?
The features are Wild Symbol, Token Symbols, Scarab Rush Power Combo, Push Feature, Boost Feature, Extra Feature, Hot Mode, and Feature Buy (Diamond Menu).
Wild Symbol
The Wild Symbol can appear on all reels during the base game. It substitutes for all the regular symbols in making wins on paylines. It doesn’t substitute the token symbols. There’s also a Wild Multiplier reel above each regular reel, which can show a multiplier between 1x and 5x. Each multiplier applies to the reel below it.
If a Wild lands on a reel that has a Wild Multiplier, the Wild expands to cover the entire reel, and any win that includes the expanded Wild receives the multiplier value. If more than one expanded Wild is involved in the same winning line, only the highest multiplier is used when calculating the payout.
Token Symbols
The game includes three different token symbols representing the Scarab Rush Power Combo features: Push, Boost, and Extra. The symbols can appear on all reels during the base game, except while Hot Mode is active.
The symbols can trigger the Scarab Rush Power Combo, but their appearance doesn’t affect the chances.
Scarab Rush Power Combo
Whenever a token symbol lands, there is a chance that the Scarab Rush Power Combo feature will be triggered. If both or all three symbols land at the same time, they may trigger two or all three features at the same time.
The Scarab Rush Power Combo feature is played on a 5-reel, 4-row grid with a global Multiplier area located above the reels. Each position of the grid spins individually, and you can either land blanks or one of the three special symbols: Money symbols, Boost Money symbols, and Mystery Jackpot symbols.
Money symbols can carry values between 0.2x and 3x the bet, and Boost Money symbols can carry values between 0.2x and 2x the bet. The Multiplier area either multiplies Money and Boost Money symbols or collects Mystery Jackpot symbols.
You start the feature with 3 spins, which reset to 3 whenever you land a bonus anywhere on the grid. All landed Money and Boost Money symbols remain on the reels. Mystery Jackpot symbols also stay in place until they reach the Multiplier area and are collected.
Whenever at least one new special symbol lands, all existing symbols move one position upward. When a Money or Boost Money symbol reaches the Multiplier area, its value is multiplied by the current multiplier before being moved back to the bottom of the same reel. Mystery Jackpot symbols that reach the Multiplier area are collected and reveal a random jackpot at the end of the feature.
The available jackpots are:
- Mini Jackpot: 5x
- Minor Jackpot: 10x
- Major Jackpot: 50x
- Mega Jackpot: 5,000x
The Multiplier area starts at x2, and above it is a Multiplier Meter with 8 slots. Every time a Money symbol, Boost Money symbol, or Mystery Jackpot symbol enters the Multiplier area, one slot is filled.
After all 8 slots are filled, the multiplier increases by one level and the meter resets. Possible multiplier values are x2, x3, x4, and x5.
The values of all symbols are paid out when you run out of spins and the feature ends. Mystery Jackpot symbols that have not yet been collected do not award prizes.
Push Feature
If a spin ends without any new symbols landing, there is a random chance that the Push feature will activate. When it happens, the feature randomly selects a reel and pushes all symbols on it into the Multiplier area. Money symbols and Boost Money symbols moved into the Multiplier area are multiplied by the current multiplier and then placed into random empty positions at the bottom of the reels.
The spin counter does not reset when the Push feature activates.
Boost Feature
Boost Money symbols can appear during the Boost Feature. When a Boost Money symbol reaches the Multiplier area, it first adds its value to all other visible Money symbols and Boost Money symbols. After that, its own value is multiplied by the current multiplier and moved back to the bottom of the reel.
Extra Feature
The Extra Feature starts with 4 instead of 3 spins, giving you more chances to land Money Symbols. Every time the counter resets, it goes back to 4.
Hot Mode
The Hot Mode can trigger randomly on any spin in the base game. It lasts between 5 and 7 spins, and showcases Wild Multiplier symbols above every reel. The bonus game can’t be triggered during the Hot Mode.
Feature Buy (Diamond Menu)
The Diamond Menu allows you to purchase the Power Combo Bonus for 100x the bet. It will trigger one, two, or all three of the Scarab Rush Power Combo features.
Final Thoughts on Scarab Rush Power Combo
Scarab Rush Power Combo doesn’t reinvent the slot machine, but gives us a fairly interesting game with some interesting twists. The base game is straightforward with traditional paylines and a Wild Symbol that can spice up a regular spin. Another little feature that spices up the base game is the Hot Mode, which can boost the excitement between 5 and 7 spins. The Egyptian theme is familiar territory, and we can’t say that we’re impressed by the blue and purple backdrop, but it’s at least something different from the regular pyramids in the desert sunset.
The main event is the Scarab Rush Power Combo feature. Instead of simply collecting symbols and waiting for a payout, you get to watch Money Symbols climb the reels, interact with multipliers, and potentially grow in value along the way. The Push, Boost, and Extra modifiers add some welcome variety, especially when multiple features combine during the same bonus round. However, the reels spin pretty slowly, and the symbols climb even slower, so it’s not a bonus game for someone who wants fast-paced action.
For a classic Link&Win Feature, you can check out the developer's previous titles, Mega Eagle Power Combo or Amazing Catch Power Combo.
Scarab Rush Power Combo from Just For The Win delivers a competent mix of classic Egyptian slot action and modern bonus mechanics without reaching extraordinary heights.
