Sand and Ashes

Ancient, forgotten stories tell that only one person remained standing when the dust settled in the desert…

With the heart of a lion, the last protector of the Kingdom of the Nile still had one mission before his eternal rest. A threat to the kingdom looms on the horizon, and the time has come to join forces with the desert warrior in the eye of the storm to protect all the riches of the treasury from unwanted visitors.

Sand and Ashes is a 5-reel, 5-row game with payline wins. The maximum prize of up to 10,000 times your stake is available in all game modes.

CHARACTERISTICS

WILD BEETLE MULTIPLIERS AND NEW RUNS

The Beetle Wild Multiplier acts as a Wild symbol and substitutes for all symbols that pay according to the paytable. When a Beetle Wild Multiplier appears on the board, it will have a multiplier value. The Beetle Wild Multiplier's multiplier value will be applied to all wins in which the symbol participates.

If a winning payline includes more than one Wild Beetle Multiplier, the multiplier values are added together before being applied to the win. Wild Beetle Multipliers can appear on the board with one of the following additive multiplier values: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 200x.

After all regular wins are processed, any appearing Beetle Wild Multipliers trigger a new spin. During this new spin, the Beetle Wild Multiplier remains in the same position on the board where it appeared, while new symbols spin on the reels. If a new Beetle Wild Multiplier appears during a new spin, another new spin is triggered. New spins continue until no new Beetle Wild Multipliers appear or no positions remain available. Any new wins on paylines are awarded at the end of each new spin.

FIRESTORMS

During a new spin, there is a chance that a Firestorm will be triggered before any new symbols appear on the board. When a Firestorm is active, no new symbols will appear, and the Firestorm will randomly increase the multiplier value of all Wild Beetle Multipliers, adding one of the following values to the existing multipliers: 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x.

Once the Beetle Wild Multipliers have increased, new symbols will appear on the board and new wins will be awarded on paylines. The multiplier value of the Beetle Wild Multipliers can continue to increase up to 999x.

SANDSTORMS

During a new roll, there is a possibility that a Sandstorm will be triggered before new symbols appear on the board.

When a Sandstorm is active, no new symbols will appear, and the Sandstorm shifts all Wild Beetle Multipliers one reel to the left. Once shifted, new symbols will appear, and the board will stabilize. New wins will then be awarded on paylines.

Wild Beetle Multipliers cannot be moved if they are located on the leftmost reel or if the Wild Beetle Multipliers on the adjacent reel in the same row are blocked.

Firestorms and Sandstorms cannot be activated during the same new roll.

BONUS GAME - DESERT FURY

Activate this bonus game with 8 free spins by landing 3 FS scatter symbols simultaneously during the base game.

This bonus maintains the mechanics of the base game, with a higher probability of Wild Beetle Multipliers appearing.

If additional FS symbols appear simultaneously during the bonus, extra free spins are awarded:

2 FS symbols award +2 free spins

3 FS symbols award +4 free spins

BONUS GAME - STORMING SPHINX

Activate this bonus game with 10 free spins by landing 4 FS scatter symbols simultaneously during the base game.

During this bonus, no new spins are triggered when a Wild Beetle Multiplier appears. Instead, Firestorms or Sandstorms can be triggered on each free spin and have the same effect as in the base game.

In addition, all Wild Beetle Multipliers that appear will be permanent, meaning they will remain on the board until the end of the bonus. Wild Beetle Multipliers will maintain their position on the board until they are displaced by a Sandstorm. Wild Beetle Multipliers will retain their multiplier value throughout the bonus, until it is increased by a Firestorm.

If additional FS symbols appear simultaneously during the bonus, extra free spins are awarded:

2 FS symbols award +2 free spins

3 FS symbols award +4 free spins

The prizes for the symbols shown above reflect the currently selected bet level. The theoretical return to player (RTP) for this game is 94.21%. The RTP was calculated simulating 10,000,000,000 rounds.
