Sand and Ashes

The desert holds its secrets close, but not forever.

Sand and Ashes by Hacksaw Gaming drops you into a sunbaked Egyptian underworld where ancient gods clash, cursed warriors roam, and a Wild Scarab with a growing multiplier sits at the center of everything.

This is not your average Egypt slot. The grid breathes, the multipliers stack, and every respin carries the threat of a Firestorm or a Sandstorm shifting everything before the dust settles.

Spin Sand and Ashes now on Jackpot.bet and see how far the Scarab's power can carry you.

Theme & Graphics

Sand and Ashes pulls from Egyptian mythology but gives it a darker, more foreboding treatment. The backdrop is a hazy, storm-ravaged desert at dusk, pyramids half-buried in the distance, the air thick with dust and tension.

A wrapped grey-skinned warrior with glowing red eyes stands guard to the left of the reels, while a scarab beetle rests on a skull fragment in the corner, a direct visual nod to the Wild Scarab mechanic at the heart of the game.

Symbol art is bold and detailed, featuring crocodile-headed Sobek, the jackal god Anubis, falcon god Ra, and a richly adorned pharaoh queen. 

This mythology-themed slot keeps the atmosphere consistently tense without ever feeling overdone.

Symbols & Paytable

All payouts below are based on a $1 bet.

Wild Scarab Multiplier substitutes for all paying symbols. When multiple Wilds contribute to a win, their multiplier values are added together before being applied.

Sand and Ashes Key Features & Bonus Rounds

Sand and Ashes is built around a connected system of mechanics that interact on nearly every respin. Here is how each one works.

Wild Scarab Multipliers and Respins

The Wild Scarab Multiplier acts as a standard Wild, substituting for all paying symbols. When it lands, it carries a multiplier value that applies to any win it contributes to. 

If two or more Wilds contribute to the same win, their values are added together before being applied.

Wild Scarab Multiplier values: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 200x.

After all regular wins are settled, any landed Wild Scarabs trigger a respin. The Wilds stay locked in position while new symbols spin in. Respins continue as long as new Wild Scarabs keep landing, they stop when no new Wilds appear or when there are no available grid positions left.

Firestorms

During a respin, a Firestorm can activate before new symbols land. When it does, no new symbols spin in, the Firestorm randomly increases the multiplier value of every Wild Scarab currently on the grid.

Firestorm multiplier boosts: 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 100x.

Wild Scarab multipliers can keep growing through consecutive Firestorms up to a maximum of 999x. Once the Firestorm resolves, new symbols land and wins are paid as normal.

Sandstorms

A Sandstorm can also activate during a respin, before new symbols land. Instead of boosting multipliers, the Sandstorm nudges all Wild Scarab Multipliers one reel to the left.

Wild Scarabs on the leftmost reel cannot be nudged. Wild Scarabs with another Scarab already occupying the adjacent left position on the same row are also blocked. Once all eligible Scarabs shift, new symbols land and wins are paid.

Firestorms and Sandstorms cannot activate on the same respin.

Bonus Game – Desert Fury

Triggered by landing 3 FS scatter symbols simultaneously in the base game. Awards 8 free spins and plays with the same mechanics as the base game, Wild Scarab Multipliers, Firestorms, and Sandstorms, but with an increased chance of landing Wild Scarabs each spin.

Note: Wild Scarab Multipliers and FS symbols cannot appear on the grid at the same time in this mode.

Additional free spins can land during the bonus:

• 2 FS symbols = +2 free spins
• 3 FS symbols = +4 free spins

Bonus Game – Storming Sphinx

Triggered by landing 4 FS scatter symbols simultaneously in the base game. Awards 10 free spins.

In this mode the respin mechanic is removed entirely. Firestorms and Sandstorms can activate on every spin instead. 

All Wild Scarab Multipliers that land are persistent, they hold their grid position for the duration of the bonus unless shifted by a Sandstorm, and their multiplier values carry forward until boosted by a Firestorm.

Retrigger conditions apply:

• 2 FS symbols = +2 free spins
• 3 FS symbols = +4 free spins

Bonus Buy

Sand and Ashes includes a Bonus Buy option for direct entry into either bonus mode. The RTP when buying Desert Fury is 96.28% and when buying Storming Sphinx is 96.34%. Feature buys can exceed the standard max bet limit.
