Scarab's Game

The scarab's game is a part of the Tavern where you can gamble pharaoh's tokens or noble's tokens on slot machine spins which yield ancient coins. These ancient coins can then be used to open the pharaoh's vault to obtain random rewards. These rewards include sigils of prophecy which are used to release unique beasts.

Scarab's Game

Skye, the game's host

The scarab's game is a slot machine which uses pharaoh's tokens or noble's tokens for spins. You get 10 noble's tokens per day for free and can buy additional pharaoh's tokens in the scarab shop below. There are three reels which can show one of four symbols which have the following base values:

Symbol	Base value
Ceremonial fire	10 ancient coins
Ankh	20 ancient coins
Queen	50 ancient coins
Cat goddess	100 ancient coins

The amount of ancient coins you obtain from a spin is the sum of the values of the symbols shown in the middle row. If a symbol appears twice in the row, both of their values are multiplied by 3. If a symbol appears three times in the row, all of their values are multiplied by 9. If you use more than one token on the spin, the amount of ancient coins you obtain is multiplied by the number of tokens spent. The chances for each combo (including all permutations of the symbols) and the corresponding payouts per token are as follows:

Combo	Chance	Payout	Combo	Chance	Payout
	9/126	2700 ancient coins		6/126	540 ancient coins
	10/126	650 ancient coins		4/126	220 ancient coins
	10/126	620 ancient coins		4/126	170 ancient coins
	10/126	610 ancient coins		4/126	130 ancient coins
	6/126	170 ancient coins		6/126	130 ancient coins
	9/126	1350 ancient coins		6/126	270 ancient coins
	7/126	400 ancient coins		3/126	160 ancient coins
	7/126	320 ancient coins		3/126	110 ancient coins
	7/126	310 ancient coins		3/126	80 ancient coins
	6/126	160 ancient coins		6/126	80 ancient coins

(Note that each permutation of symbols is not equally likely to show up. For example, the combination has a 60% chance of appearing while the other two combinations and each have only a 20% chance of appearing.)

In addition, there is a catchup mechanism in place that tracks how often each combo (multiplied by the number of tickets used) has appeared for a player and accordingly adjusts the chances above such that in the long run each combo appears with the correct frequency.

Pharaoh's Vault

When you have collected 5000 ancient coins, you can use them to open the pharaoh's vault which will give you five rewards. Possible rewards are currencies, jewel chests, celestial chests, lost inscriptions and sigils of prophecy. Each reward also gives you scarabs depending on the type and amount drawn:

scarab gain = number of items * reward scarab multiplier

Rewards

The chance for a given reward is a pooled random where N is the total number of rewards in the reward pool (ranging between N=77 and N=109 depending on your character level, campaign stars and oracle level). The number of drawn items is uniformly random within your current range for that reward.

Reward Ranges

All reward ranges depend on your scarab level and cap after a certain level. Currency reward ranges have irregular patterns, therefore the following increases per level are approximate:

Sigils of Prophecy

Release a beast

There are six different sigils of prophecy:

Icon	Name	Icon	Name
	sun sigil		moon sigil
	wing sigil		horn sigil
	talon sigil		fang sigil

When you have collected all six sigils of prophecy from the pharaoh's vault, you can release a unique beast.

Scarab's Shop

In the scarab's shop, you can exchange expedition tokens for pharaoh's tokens which can be used in the scarab's game:

Offer	Price
5 pharaoh's tokens	3,000 expedition tokens
20 pharaoh's tokens	10,000 expedition tokens

Scarab Level

With every reward drawn from the pharaoh's vault you also earn scarabs. When you have gained enough scarabs, your scarab level increases. Scarab level 2 requires 40,000 scarabs. Each subsequent scarab level requires 4,000 more scarabs than the previous level. At certain scarab level increments, you get permanent bonuses to miner, mechanical fury, prestigious, raining gold and hero attributes:

Bonus type	Starting level	Level increment	Bonus amount	Bonus cap
Miner	4	10	+1*	20
Mechanical Fury	3	2	+0.2%*	100%
Prestigious	3	3	160%
Raining Gold	4	3	160%
All Attributes	2	3	160%
Attribute Damage	2	3	160%
Attribute Health	3	3	160%
Attribute Armor	4	3	160%

Bonuses marked with * are additive per upgrade level, the other bonuses are multiplicative per upgrade level. The maximum scarab level is 201.
