Sand and Ashes Bonus Features

This game has a range of bonus features, including respins, multipliers and two types of free spin features.

Scarab Blessings

The Wild Scarab Multiplier symbol will substitute for symbols to create payline wins. Any line the wild forms part of will be multiplied by the multiplier value (up to x100). After the win has been settled, the Wild Scarab will trigger a respin and will stick in place for it. Respins continue until no new Wild Scarabs appear.

Marching Mummy

During the respins, a Marching Mummy may appear and trigger either a Firestorm or Sandstorm. The Firestorm modifier will increase the value of the multiplier before the new symbols land. The Sandstorm modifier will nudge the Wilds to the left before the symbols land.

Desert Fury Free Spins

Players are awarded eight bonus spins. All the base game modifiers remain in play, with an increased chance of landing Wild Scarab Multipliers. Extra free spins are triggered as follows:

• 2 x FS scatter symbol = 2 extra spins


• 3 x FS scatter symbol = 4 extra spins

Storming Sphinx Free Spins

This feature plays with 10 free spins, during which the Firestorms and Sandstorms feature can be activated on every spin. The respin feature is not activated during this bonus feature but the Wild Scarab Multiplier is persistent, moving across the grid only when nudged by the Sandstorm and increasing in value through the Firestorm. Additional free spins can be triggered as follows:

• 2 x FS scatter symbol = 2 extra spins


• 3 x FS scatter symbol = 4 extra spins
