About the 4 Scarab Coins Slot
4 Scarab Coins: Hold and Win is a Playson slot built around the Hold and Win mechanic. The base game runs on a 5x3 grid with 25 fixed paylines. When 3 or more coins land, the Bonus Game starts with 3 respins - each new coin resets the counter back to 3.
The 4 Scarab Coins game offers two distinct bonus modes. The standard Bonus Game keeps the 5x3 layout and targets the Grand Jackpot of 3,000x by filling all 15 cells. The Royal Bonus Game expands the grid to 5x5, introduces the Royal Pyramid, and makes the 10,000x Royal Jackpot accessible by filling all 25 cells.

Five jackpots are in play across both modes, and the slot carries a hard cap of 15,000x the total bet. Three Scarab Feature types - Multi, Mystic, and Collect - are tied to colored Scarab Coins that land during the Bonus Game and can trigger in combination.
Visual Style
The Egyptian theme uses a gold background with deep violet and blue tones. Premium symbols are a red falcon, green dragon, blue Anubis, and purple horse. Card symbols fill the lower pay tier. Scarab Coins appear in three colors - violet, red, and blue - matching the three Feature types, with a Royal Scarab Coin as a fourth variant.
Scarab Pots sit above the reels in matching colors, visually tracking coin accumulation during the Bonus Game.
Hold and Win Bonus Game
The Bonus Game triggers when 3 or more coins land on the reels in a single spin. Qualifying coins include regular Coins and all three Scarab Coin colors (violet, red, blue). The game opens with 3 respins, and every additional coin that lands resets the counter back to 3.
Each regular Coin displays a value between 1x and 12x the total bet. Filling all 15 cells before respins run out awards the Grand Jackpot at 3,000x. If respins expire before the grid fills, the Bonus Game ends and all visible coin values are collected.
The three Scarab Pots positioned above the reels collect coins of their matching color. When a Pot receives enough coins, it activates the corresponding Feature. The combination of active Pots determines whether Multi, Mystic, Collect, or a random combination of these applies during that phase of the Bonus Game.
Scarab Features: Multi, Mystic & Collect
Each Feature is color-coded to a specific Scarab Coin type. Violet activates Multi, red activates Mystic, and blue activates Collect. Features trigger when their matching Scarab Pot collects enough coins during the Bonus Game. Multiple Features can activate together when more than one Scarab Pot is filled.
Multi Feature (Violet Scarab Coin)
When the Multi Feature activates, each Violet Scarab Coin places multipliers of x2, x3, and x5 on three separate empty cells. If no empty cells without multipliers are available, the new multipliers stack on occupied cells and the values add together.
After placing multipliers, the Violet Scarab Coin itself takes a random value between 2x and 10x the total bet. All multipliers on the grid apply to coin values at the end of the Bonus Game, before the final collection step.
Mystic Feature (Red Scarab Coin)
The Mystic Feature activates through the Red Scarab Coin. Each Red Scarab Coin reveals 6 additional hidden cells containing either regular Coins or Jackpot Coins. The values of all 6 revealed cells are added directly to the Red Scarab Coin's own value.
Jackpot Coins can appear among the 6 revealed cells. A single Mystic activation can include Major (100x), Minor (30x), or Mini (15x) Jackpot values. The reveal happens immediately when the Red Scarab Coin triggers during the Bonus Game.
Collect Feature (Blue Scarab Coin)
The Collect Feature activates through the Blue Scarab Coin. Each Blue Scarab Coin gathers the values of all symbols currently visible on the reels and adds their total to its own value.
If the Multi Feature is also active, multipliers apply to coin values before the Blue Scarab Coin collects them. This interaction means a high-multiplier grid combined with an active Collect Feature can significantly amplify the Blue Scarab Coin's final value.
Royal Bonus Game
The Royal Bonus Game triggers when a Royal Scarab Coin lands in the Main Game. This is a chance-based event - it is not guaranteed on every spin. When triggered, the grid immediately expands from 5x3 to 5x5, adding one empty row above and one below the standard layout. All coins from the triggering spin stick in place.
The Royal Scarab Coin that triggered the round takes a random value of 7x, 8x, 9x, or 10x the total bet. The standard Scarab Pots are replaced by the Royal Pyramid, which lands random violet, red, or blue Scarab Coins - or regular Coins - until 6 coins are present on the grid.
Filling the central 5x3 Grand Section awards the Grand Jackpot at 3,000x. Filling all 25 cells of the expanded grid awards the Royal Jackpot at 10,000x. When the Royal Jackpot is won, only the Royal Jackpot value counts toward the Total Win - the Grand Jackpot does not add on top of it. The Royal Bonus Game is also available via direct purchase for 150x the total bet.
Slot Paytable
The Wild substitutes for all standard symbols except coins. It lands only on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. Coin symbols (regular Coins, Scarab Coins, Royal Scarab Coin) pay only within Bonus Game modes, not on standard paylines. The values below are multipliers of the total bet per payline win.
| Symbol | 5x | 4x | 3x |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Substitutes for other basic symbols | ||
 |
10.00x | 3.00x | 0.60x |
 |
8.00x | 2.00x | 0.50x |

6.00x | 1.50x | 0.40x |
 |
4.00x | 1.00x | 0.30x |
 |
2.00x | 0.40x | 0.20x |
The regular Coin lands in the Bonus Game only and shows a value of 1x to 12x the total bet. The three Scarab Coin variants (violet, red, blue) each trigger a specific Feature when their matching Scarab Pot fills. The Royal Scarab Coin triggers the Royal Bonus Game from the main game when it appears by chance. Jackpot Coins appear randomly during the Bonus Game: Mini pays 15x, Minor pays 30x, and Major pays 100x the total bet.
Buy Bonus
The Buy Bonus feature offers two purchase options. The standard Bonus Game costs 70x the total bet and runs on the 5x3 grid, with the Grand Jackpot of 3,000x as the top prize. The Royal Bonus Game costs 150x and opens the expanded 5x5 grid with the Royal Jackpot of 10,000x reachable.
| Option | Cost | Grid | Max Jackpot |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bonus Game (1-3 Features) | 70x bet | 5x3 | Grand 3,000x |
| Royal Bonus Game (1-3 Features) | 150x bet | 5x5 | Royal 10,000x |
When purchasing either option, you choose 1, 2, or 3 active Scarab Features before the round begins. Selecting all three Features (Multi + Mystic + Collect) increases the complexity of interactions during the Bonus Game but also raises the effective entry price accordingly.
RTP and Game Variance
The RTP for 4 Scarab Coins is 92,7% which is pretty low. Volatility is high though, so the low RTP is less of a problem on a short distance.
The maximum win is capped at 15,000x the total bet. Once this threshold is reached, the round ends immediately regardless of remaining respins or grid state. The 10,000x Royal Jackpot requires filling all 25 cells in the Royal Bonus Game - sustained coin landings across the full 5x5 grid.
High volatility formats like this typically produce long gaps between significant wins. Set a session budget before entering Buy Bonus rounds, especially the 150x Royal option, and treat each purchase as a standalone event rather than a recovery mechanism.

FAQ
The Royal Bonus Game triggers when a Royal Scarab Coin lands in the Main Game - this is a chance-based event, not guaranteed on every spin. The grid expands from 5x3 to 5x5, the Royal Scarab Coin receives a value of 7x, 8x, 9x, or 10x the total bet, and the Royal Pyramid replaces the standard Scarab Pots. Filling all 25 cells awards the Royal Jackpot of 10,000x the total bet instead of the Grand Jackpot 3,000x.
The Multi Feature places multipliers of x2, x3, and x5 on three separate empty cells during the Bonus Game. If no empty cells without multipliers remain, new multipliers stack on existing ones and their values add together - for example, x2 and x3 on the same cell become x5. These multipliers apply to the coin values at the end of the Bonus Game, before the final collection.
Filling all 25 cells in the Royal Bonus Game triggers the Royal Jackpot worth 10,000x the total bet. When the Royal Jackpot is won, only its value is added to the Total Win - the Grand Jackpot does not stack on top of it. The Grand Section (the central 5x3 area) must be filled to win the Grand Jackpot of 3,000x, but if all 25 cells are filled, only the Royal Jackpot counts.
The Mystic Feature (Red Scarab Coin) reveals 6 additional hidden cells containing coins or Jackpot Coins, then adds all those revealed values to the Red Scarab Coin's own value. The Collect Feature (Blue Scarab Coin) gathers the values of all symbols already visible on the reels and adds them to the Blue Scarab Coin. The key difference: Mystic reveals new hidden values, while Collect accumulates existing visible values - and Multi Feature multipliers apply before Collect gathers them.
Yes. The Buy Bonus feature lets you purchase the Royal Bonus Game directly for 150x the total bet. This gives immediate access to the 5x5 grid and the Royal Jackpot of 10,000x. The standard Bonus Game (5x3 grid, Grand Jackpot 3,000x) is available for 70x the total bet. Both options let you select 1, 2, or 3 Scarab Features before the round begins.
The Grand Jackpot pays 3,000x the total bet and is awarded by filling all 15 cells of the 5x3 grid during the standard Bonus Game. In the Royal Bonus Game, the same 5x3 area is called the Grand Section - filling it still awards 3,000x, but if all 25 cells are filled at the same time, only the Royal Jackpot of 10,000x is counted.
The Golden Pot is a special symbol that lands on the reels during the Bonus Game. Each time it appears, it randomly transforms into a violet, red, or blue Scarab Coin. This either activates a new Scarab Feature (Multi, Mystic, or Collect) or adds an extra Scarab Coin to an already active Feature - potentially enhancing its payout output.
