Remember the great Playtech video slot “Desert Treasures”? Remember its generous rewards, beautiful graphics and interesting features? Well, if you’re among those who became fans of this genuine release, you have more reasons for joy, as the company decided to introduce a sort of a revamp of the title and release “Desert Treasures II”, which contains even more features to keep your play dynamic, as well as prizes that may reach quite a significant sum!

“Desert Treasures II” introduces the same theme as its predecessor – it’s set in a steamin’ hot desert, and involves characters such as Bedouin treasure hunter, a gorgeous desert girl, camels, an oasis, a map with a compass, as well as a golden cobra and a variety of poker symbols decorated with scorpions, poisonous snakes and spiders, colorful bugs and oasis turtles. But to spice things up in this desert atmosphere, the creators of this five-reel, 20-payline slot brought in a whole range of special features that will boost your winning odds – therefore, you have a cobra expanding wild, scatters, free spins, multipliers, as well as a multi-level bonus round that’s really worth hoping for.

In terms of the bet amounts to choose from, “Desert Treasures II” offers quite a range. It’s not only thanks to the coin denominations which cover a decent range of between 1 cent and $1, but also due to the fact that the slot offers the possibility to place up to 10 coins per payline and thereby boost the prizes you receive. Of course, in order to maximize your odds of winning and getting a bonus round, it’s highly recommendable to select the maximum number of lines – all 20 of them.

Special Features:

What’s so good about this game is the variety it offers. This does not only refer to the number of bet amounts, its graphics and sounds, but most of all to its special features. When it comes to its expanding wild, it appears quite regularly, but only on reels 2, 3, and 4. It replaces all other symbols, except the scattered girls and bonus map symbols. Speaking of the gorgeous desert girl, three or more of them anywhere will bring you quite a deal – 15 free spins which will see all your prizes multiplied by 2. And the best thing of all about this feature is that the free spins can be retriggered infinitely, by getting the same three or more scatter symbols in any position.

Finally, there’s the bonus round, activated by three, four or five bonus symbols on an active payline. In the first stage of the bonus, you’ll get a chance to reveal 3, 4, of 5 boxes, respectively. Now, if you choose a box which contains a map to the second bonus stage, you’ll be able to choose from two locations – a secret tent and a hidden sanctum. There you’ll be offered another choice of items, of which you should choose 3, 4, or 5, depending on the number of bonus symbols that triggered the bonus round.

The prizes you can win in this slot are truly amazing. Of course, that does not always have to be the case, but “Desert Treasures II” is a game worth trying as it offers more than just prizes – it offers the whole entertainment package that you’ll surely fall in love with!
