Desert Treasure is an Egyptian themed video slot which packs in multiple features over five reels. These include wilds, scatters, free spins and the chance to go virtual treasure hunting during a themed bonus game. There's 20 configurable lines which means plenty more opportunities to win up to 10,000 coins or a progressive jackpot when using the wildly popular Dollar Ball feature.

Desert Treasure Slot Theme

Desert Treasure offers players an Arabian Nights theme from the moment the slot appears. There's a vast sandy desert in the distance and various themed icons on the reels.

The reel icons relate to life, or traveling, in the desert. They include camels, Arabian Princesses, traders, golden cobras, oasis and golden 10, J, Q, K and A characters. The cobra, compass and princess icons each trigger special features and as such use detailed animations to signal their winning combinations.

The theme ties in a great range of visual elements and audio bites to heighten key moments. We have to say that the designers have done a great job with the slot.

Betting Options and More Functions

As this is a premium slot you'd expect the wagers to have a premium price. Thankfully this is only partly the case because players can wager anything from 1 penny to £/€/$200 if they so wish.

There's also a funky side bet feature which Playtech called Dollar ball. This is so called because it costs one Dollar to play, but you can quite as easily use one Pound or Euro. This selects you five balls for a lotto draw per active spin. There are various prizes available, although its the five ball jackpot which most players will be hoping for.

Desert Treasure Slot Features

The ruby eyed golden cobra Wild icon quite often pops up to substitute for other symbols. It can substitute for all but the princess and compass scatters, which means plenty more winning opportunities during both normal and free spins.

Two or more princess scatters will award an instant prize wherever they fall on the reels. If you're lucky enough to spin three or more you'll win an instant prize and the free spins where any wins are tripled.

The bonus round is awarded when three or more compass icons appear consecutively from left to right. This gives players the chance to become a virtual desert trader as you pick yourself an item to win an instant prize. The graphics during the bonus game are equally impressive as the regular ones and we enjoyed the change in music too.

Our Take on Desert Treasure

There are many desert themed video slots and we're pleased to reveal that this one does the genre justice. The cheeky trader and beautiful princess steal the show in the looks and features department, but it's the great range of bets and associated prizes which players will appreciate most.
