Scarab Rising Megaways Demo (Blueprint) Slot Demo & Review

Slot Overview

Scarab Rising Megaways is a new concept Megaways release from Blueprint Gaming that combines an ancient Egyptian theme with an impressive set of features, all built around collection mechanics, cash prizes and a progression trail. With up to 15,625 ways to win, multiple bonuses, and the familiar Megaways mechanic, is it any good? Or is the abundance of bonuses and overused Megaways system too much? Find out in this detailed review.

Theme & Design

Scarab Rising Megaways leans heavily into classic Egyptian design, and you’ll see the reels set atop a background with pyramids, palm trees, and blue skies. While everything is tied together quite nicely, there’s no denying this is, fundamentally, a pretty basic-looking game, and there’s not much to get excited about design-wise.

It really reminds us of the Eye of Horus slot, a game that was released more than a decade ago, and we just don’t feel that it lives up to the graphical quality we’ve come to expect from games in 2025. Compare it to Pragmatic Play’s Duel of Night & Day, for example, and you’ll see the two games are miles apart, looks-wise.

Still, it doesn’t look terrible; it’s just a bit ‘flat’. Above the reels, you will see a well-designed and detailed progression trail; however, above this, you’ll see the game’s four fixed jackpots, along with the Megaways counter that displays the number of ways-to-win active on every spin.

Scarab Rising Megaways Gameplay & Bonus Features

Scarab Rising Megaways uses a 6-reel Megaways layout, with each reel showing up to five symbols for a maximum of 15,625 ways to win. Wins are formed by matching symbols from left to right on adjacent reels, and their position doesn’t matter. You can stake between €0.10 and €25 per spin, and the RTP is incredibly low, at just 92%!

When you begin playing, you’ll notice Wild symbols on reels 2-6, and these substitute for all paying symbols. There’s quite a lot happening, even in the base game, and on any spin, there’s a chance one of the Scarab Riches Modifiers can be awarded:

• Tomb Treasures: Randomly transforms reels into stacks of Cash Prize symbols.
• Bonus Boost: Adds additional Bonus Scatter symbols to the reel.
• Egyptian Gold: Scarabs land on random positions and upgrade the symbol they landed on into Wilds or the top-paying symbol.
• Ra’s Reset: Symbols are removed from the reels, and new ones drop down, guaranteeing a win.

Now,, the Collect mechanic is central to the game’s design. Initially, Collect symbols appear only on the final reel, but when they land alongside cash prize symbols, they collect and award the displayed values. 

Each time you land Collect symbols, they’re added to the feature trail above the reels, and as you progress, you’ll unlock things like Dual Collect, Streak Collect, Boost Collect and Multi-X Collect. Collecting 20 unlocks the Scarab Blitz Super Spin, the highest feature you can be awarded.

Landing 3+ Bonus Scatter symbols in view awards the game’s main bonuses; Scarab Spins, or Scarab Blitz Super Spins. In the standard Scarab Spins, you’re awarded 10 Free Spins, and here it’s a Big Bass Bonanza-style feature, where collecting multiples of 3 additional Collect symbols progresses you along a trail, with +10 spins and a multiplier being awarded with each new level you unlock.

If you’ve unlocked the Scarab Blitz Super Spins in the base game, you can also choose to take this feature instead of the standard Scarab Spins. During this bonus, 1 Super Spin is awarded. Here, only the Cash Prize and a Special Collect symbol are in play.

The Collect symbol is guaranteed to land on reel 1 and/or reel 6 and will collect the value of any Cash Prize symbols visible on the grid. Any Cash Prize symbols that land also contribute to a retrigger trail, giving you the chance to extend the feature.

On the initial Super Spin, collecting 13 Cash Prize symbols retriggers the feature; on the second spin, this increases to 14, and on any future spins, 15 Cash Prize symbols are required.

When the bonus retriggers, you’re awarded a “Pick a Key” feature, which awards 1 additional Super Spin and can apply a multiplier of up to x10 to any Cash Prize symbols collected on that extra spin.
