If the summer doesn’t feel hot enough for you, perhaps you will consider a trip to some exotic Arabian country with loads of sand and sunshine? In that case Desert Treasure by software provider Playtech is perfect for you. This online slot game takes you straight to the desert, and the backdrop paints a picture that perfectly relays the atmosphere of one. You have the scorching sun hanging above the horizon, and sand dunes as far as the eye can see. In addition, you will notice a camel standing watch on one side of the screen, and on the other you can make you out the triangular shapes of the pyramids. However, as lovely as this all sounds, the graphics in this title are quite dated, and therefore they’re pretty basic-looking.
This brings us to the layout which is equally as basic. You will see before you a grid of 5 reels and 3 rows, and these come with a total of 20 paylines for you to bet on. What’s more, the paylines are not fixed so you can play around more freely with your betting options. In addition, Desert Treasure boasts an unusually wide betting range, suitable for both penny players and high rollers alike. It spans from a minimum bet of 1p per spin and up to a maximum of £1,000 per single spin.
Special Features
Treasure Chest Bonus
One of the two existing bonus games in Desert Treasure is the Treasure Chest Bonus Feature. You can activate it by landing 3, 4 or 5 Bonus symbols on an active payline, starting from the leftmost reel. As a result, you will enter a new screen with a selection of treasure chests. You will get 3, 4 or 5 picks from these chests depending on how many Bonus symbols triggered the feature; and each of these will, in turn, reward you with a certain cash prize.
Wild Adder
The Wild symbol is also this game’s most lucrative one – it can potentially reward you with up to a staggering 10,000 coins. But its main function is of course to substitute for the other symbols in this game, and in doing so, it can help contribute to winning sequences. However, the Wild will not be able to replace the Scatter and Bonus symbols for this purpose.
Freespins
Look out for the Scatter icon, which, like the Wild, can land in any position anywhere on the reels. It is of course not of the same insanely high value, but it will be able to trigger this title’s Freespins Feature. To do so, you will have to land at least 3 Scatters at the same time during a spin, and this will award you a total of 10 freespins. Better yet, you can gain an extra 10 freespins by retriggering this bonus round if you land another 3 or more Scatter symbols simultaneously.
