Theme
This is a Egyptian themed slot and as the 2 in the title should suggest it is the 2nd in what would now appear to be a Yggdrasil franchise.
Special Symbols
Wild – The Wild symbol can only appear during the Wild Reels feature and when it does it will always land fully stacked. It will substitute for all symbols.
Bonus Features
Respins – After every win you will be awarded a respin. Every symbol involved in every creates Scarabs, which will be used to remove blockers from the reels and increase the number of ways to win. If you can remove all the blockers from the reels you will Active the Scarab Collections, which are described below:
Win Multipliers – A 2x multiplier will be applied to any subsequent wins and if you will increase the multiplier by 1 for every 5 blue symbols that form wins.
Extra Lives – You will be given an extra life when you remove all the blockers, which means that if you fail to win anything the feature will continue for at least 1 more spin, making it essentially a respin. You gain 1 additional life for every 5 red symbols that form wins.
Wild Reels – Once you have removed all the blockers you have a chance to add a Wild reel to the grid. To do so you need to land wins that include 5 or more symbols. If this happens, a fully stacked Wild symbol will be added to a randomly selected reel and will remain there until the feature is over. You ca have more than 1 Wild reel on the grid at once. This is the only way that Wilds can appear in this slot.
