FEATURES
WILD SCARAB MULTIPLIERS AND RESPINS
The Wild Scarab Multiplier acts as a Wild, substituting for all paying symbols in the paytable. When a Wild Scarab Multiplier lands on the grid, it will have a Multiplier value. The Multiplier value of the Wild Scarab Multiplier will be applied to all wins that the symbol is part of.
If a winning payline includes more than one Wild Scarab Multiplier, the Multiplier values are added together before being applied to the win. Wild Scarab Multipliers will land on the grid with one of the following additive Multiplier values: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 200x.
After all regular wins have been handled, the landed Wild Scarab Multipliers will trigger a respin. During the respin, the Wild Scarab Multiplier will remain in the same grid position as it landed, while new symbols will spin in. If any new Wild Scarab Multiplier lands during a respin, a new respin will be triggered. The respins will continue until no new Wild Scarab Multipliers land or if there are no more available positions. Any new payline wins will be rewarded at the end of every respin.
FIRESTORMS
During a respin, there is a chance that a Firestorm will be activated before any new symbols land on the grid. When a Firestorm is active, no new symbols will land and the Firestorm will randomly increase the Multiplier value of all the Wild Scarab Multipliers by adding one of the following Multiplier values to the existing Multipliers: 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x. Once the Wild Scarab Multipliers have been increased, new symbols will land on the grid and any new payline wins will be rewarded. The Multiplier values of Wild Scarab Multipliers can continue to increase until they reach 999x.
SANDSTORMS
During a respin, there is a chance that a Sandstorm will be activated before any new symbols land on the grid.
When a Sandstorm is active, no new symbols will land and the Sandstorm nudges all Wild Scarab Multipliers one reel to the left. Once the Wild Scarab Multipliers have been nudged, new symbols will land and the grid will settle. After the grid has settled, any new payline wins will be rewarded.
Wild Scarab Multipliers cannot be nudged if they are located on the leftmost reel, or if the Wild Scarab Multipliers on the adjacent reel on the same row are blocked.
Firestorms and Sandstorms cannot be activated during the same respin.

BONUS GAME - STORMING SPHINX

In addition, all Wild Scarab Multipliers that land are persistent, meaning that they will remain on the grid until the end of the bonus. The Wild Scarab Multipliers will keep their grid position until they are nudged by a Sandstorm. Wild Scarab Multipliers will keep their Multiplier value throughout the bonus, until it is increased by a Firestorm.
Landing additional FS symbols at the same time in the bonus awards extra free spins:
2 FS symbols award +2 free spins
3 FS symbols award +4 free spins
