Flaming Scarabs (Kalamba Games) – Review & Demo Play

The Flaming Scarabs Slot Game

I’ve spun countless Egyptian slots, yet Flaming Scarabs throws fire into the mix and looks the part. The dark grid with ornamented frames sits over a blurred scene of pyramids and firepits, while polished symbols pop against it. The soundtrack leans on deep drums and flutes with tense effects between spins, which I liked. The layout is different too, with six reels in a 3-3-4-4-5-5 setup and up to 3,600 ways to win. It all feels sharp without getting noisy.

Symbols and Payouts in Flaming Scarabs

It’s a tight paytable with ten symbols. The lower-paying set is J to A, landing 5-of-a-kind for up to 0.5x the stake. Premiums stick to the theme with a Scarab Ring, a Flail and a Crook, a Double Crown, and a Pharaoh’s Mask. Five of these pay from 0.4x to 2x the bet. Wilds step in for regulars but don’t form their own lines. Two scarab Scatters can hit anywhere and pay 2x, 5x, 10x, or 50x for 3, 4, 5, or 6.

The game pays for 3 to 6 matches on adjacent reels starting left, so premium clusters matter more than single 5-of-a-kind lines. When K-Cash triggers, matching symbols on later reels can carry instant values on top of line wins, which changes how I read the reels. I focus on symbols that appear on the highlighted cells early, then scan columns 3 to 6 for copies, as those are the ones that can stack decent K-Cash totals.

Flaming Scarabs Slot Bonus Features

K-Cash fires when identical symbols land in the highlighted middle-row spots on reels 1 and 2. Any matching symbols on reels 3 to 6 then get a K-Cash value that is paid as a separate cash award. The cap depends on the column and ranges from about 2.2x up to 500x the bet. It works alongside regular wins, so both parts add up. In Free Spins an extra highlighted position appears on reel 2, which makes these hits more frequent for me.

There are two Free Spins modes tied to the Scatters. Three or more purple scarabs trigger Level 1, while three or more golden scarabs trigger Level 2. During Level 2, each K-Cash outcome is multiplied by a random 2x to 10x before being paid, which can snowball. Landing 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 Scatters during the feature adds 3, 5, 8, 10, or 15 spins. The round ends on zero spins or when the max payout cap is hit.

K-Boost sits above reels 1 and 2 and builds your starting Free Spins totals during base play. Level 1 ticks up by one spin every 20 base spins, and Level 2 every 35, up to 20 and 30 respectively, then resets after a feature. The meters are saved per bet level. If I want to skip the wait, Bonus Buy options grant 8, 15, or 30 spins for 54.7x, 102.5x, or 204.5x the stake, with RTP rising as high as 96.85%.

How to Win at Flaming Scarabs Slot

Flaming Scarabs uses ways rather than lines, so wins need three to six matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from reel 1. The six-reel 3-3-4-4-5-5 grid gives up to 3,600 ways per spin, which keeps the action steady even between features. I pay close attention to the two burning frames on the first two reels. Matching the same symbol there is the gateway to K-Cash, and it shapes how I value near misses and stacked reels.

The controls are simple. The black circle with the white curved pointer starts a spin, the smaller double-arrow circle handles auto-play, and the thunderbolt speeds things up. Coins adjust the stake, while the three lines open the rules and paytable. I keep stakes in step with the K-Boost meters, as banking a higher starting count for Level 2 can be worth stretching a session before I trigger a feature or switch to Bonus Buy.

Flaming Scarabs Slot RTP & Volatility

Flaming Scarabs runs at high volatility. The RTP sits at 96.48% in standard play and can rise to around 96.55%–96.85% depending on the feature buy. Stakes range from 0.50 to 40 per spin, which suits mid-range bankrolls. The headline figure is the max win of up to 25,000x the bet, coming from stacked K-Cash in Level 2 or a strong ways screen. It can take time to land, so I space sessions and lean on K-Boost to set up better starts.

The Final Thoughts on Flaming Scarabs

Flaming Scarabs doesn’t rewrite the book on Egypt, yet the 3-3-4-4-5-5 board and K-Cash give the theme fresh legs. The contrast between polished symbols and the blurred backdrop works, and the drum-heavy score keeps the pace. The min bet is on the high side, but the 0.50 to 40 window is fine for most plans. I rate the Free Spins plus K-Cash combo, especially Level 2 with multipliers. I’m happy to keep this one in my rotation.
