There are so many slot games out there that no matter what it is that takes your fancy, there is definitely something around that can fit the bill. What makes for a good online slots game (and a good online casino software developer for that matter) is its ability transport players to other worlds, and take them on a journey with every spin.
Playtech have definitely managed to pull this off with online slot Desert Treasure, which takes you on an adventure to the golden sands in search of the treasures that lie there.
As you may very well be aware, this game’s sequel – Desert Treasure 2 – has made quite the impact since its arrival, but how is the original holding up? The following review Desert Treasure looks to answer that question!
The design of the Desert Treasure video slot is every bit the Egyptian adventure land it promises, with the reels crammed full of features to help perfectly set the scene. This slot game is designed beautifully and the backdrops of the reels are made up of a sand-drenched landscape in which the game is set.
The reels themselves and payline numbers have been carved out of sandstone, and the user interface and all of the command buttons are covered in green. The logo of Desert Treasure is written in a gold font, features a plenty of bright looking shrubbery to boot. Every symbol that's on the Desert Treasure reels also stays true to the theme of this slot game.
In the Desert Treasure slot the lower value symbols are represented by the classic playing card symbols of 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace, but these are all also carved out of sandstone.
The next high-value symbols are the animals, with the spider, the snake, the beetle, the scorpion, and the gecko certainly commanding attention. The highest value symbols to look out for are the Bedouin, the camel, and the oasis, with these symbols certainly carrying a hefty punch on the coins front.
The free Desert Treasure slot also has its own host of special symbols, the first of which is the Wild symbol, which will substitute itself on the reels for all other symbols in order to create more winning combinations. The only symbol the wild will not replace is the Scatter symbol.
The Desert Treasure Scatter is represented by the beautiful and mysterious dark-haired Woman, and is the key to triggering free spins and multipliers. Then there is the map and compass bonus symbol, finding this on the 1st reel and the 5th reel will trigger the Desert Treasure bonus game, during which players must pick items to reveal prizes.
