RA and the Scarab Temple is an August 2018 video slot distributed by SG Digital. Developed by Bally Technologies, it is based on—and named after—the sun god Ra and the rebirth-related scarab beetle linked to the ancient Egypt, a recurring theme in other Bally-owned games like Pharaoh’s Dream (September 2019), Power Strike Egyptian Riches (July 2020), and Super Rise of Ra (May 2014).

Themes: religious artifacts, ancient civilization, sand dunes, jewelry, Egyptian deities, and card values. One symbol (pot of gold) requires three-of-a-kind. Six symbols (A, K, J, Q, 10, and court of arms) require three, four or five-of-a-kind. Five symbols (ring, Ankh cross, eye of Horus, pharaoh, and scarab beetle) require two, three, four, or five-of-a-kind.
