Playson, a leading digital entertainment provider, has unveiled a major update to its popular Cleopatra-inspired series with 4 Scarab Coins: Hold and Win. The release introduces a new Mystic Feature, enhancing the classic dual bonus gameplay and offering players fresh ways to win across the reels.
Set against a vibrant Egyptian backdrop, the game features a 5×3 grid of desert dunes under a sapphire sky. Players encounter striking hieroglyphic symbols, shimmering gold coins, and up to four coveted Scarab Coins per spin, which trigger a variety of bonus features when combined with matching-coloured Scarab Pots above the reels.
The revamped Hold and Win Bonus Game now offers three dynamic Scarab Features:
- Mystic Feature: Landing Red Scarab Coins reveals up to six additional cells, each hiding random coin values or Jackpot Coins.
- Multi Feature: Triggered by Violet Scarab Coins, multipliers of up to 5x are applied to empty cells or existing Multipliers, boosting potential payouts.
- Collect Feature: Blue Scarab Coins gather the value of all symbols currently in play, including coins, Jackpots, and other Scarab Coins, maximizing wins.
Adding another layer of excitement, the Royal Scarab Coin can trigger the Royal Bonus Game, expanding the grid to 5×5 and activating one or more Scarab Features simultaneously. Players can collect Scarab Coins across the expanded field, increasing the chance to win significant rewards, including jackpots.
Jackpots form a core part of the gameplay, with 15 cells filled during the standard Bonus Game awarding a 3,000x Grand Jackpot, and completing all 25 cells in the Royal Bonus Game unlocking the Royal Jackpot of 10,000x the bet. Additionally, the Golden Pot Feature randomly transforms into Scarab Coins, further enhancing active features or activating new ones, adding unpredictability and high-intensity gameplay.
4 Scarab Coins: Hold and Win exemplifies Playson’s commitment to evolving its most successful slots while keeping the gameplay experience fresh. The new mechanics are designed with player engagement and retention in mind, offering strategic choices, bonus variety, and big-win potential that appeal to both casual players and high rollers.
Anton Ivannikov, CPO at Playson, said: “4 Scarab Coins: Hold and Win takes a proven performer and injects it with even more energy through the introduction of the Mystic Feature. Combined with the expanded Royal Bonus Game, players can expect richer gameplay, bigger moments, and enhanced win potential throughout.
