Slots enthusiasts who have been enthralled by Desert Treasure II can do themselves a huge favor by checking out the game that started it all: Desert Treasure. There’s not so much narrative continuity in Desert Treasure but fans of the sequel should definitely try the original and we’ll tell you why you should down below.

Desert Treasure is an online slot that has five reels and 20 paylines developed by Playtech. It’s set amongst the sand, the pyramids and the oases of Egypt and right above the reels, you can see a desert vista stretching into the vast distance.

To start discovering the riches hidden in the immense desert, players need to decide on their bet. Clicking on +/- in the lower right corner adjusts the coin size, ranging from 0.01 to 5. Each click on the “Bet per Line” button adds a coin to the line bet. To add a payline, players should push “Select Lines”. “Spin” starts the game and "Bet Max" wagers the maximum sum, immediately initiating the spinning of the reels. To play multiple times consecutively, players can click the wrench button in the upper right corner and then “Autoplay.”

As a player, you would be faced with the difficulty of adapting in the arid desert. The entire game screen is colored in bright yellow, mimicking the sand as it shines under the demanding sun. Above the reels, a few pyramids stand right above the horizon.

The game’s title features prominently in between a group of palm trees — which happens to be the only sign of life that can be seen in this particular game. The graphics might not be anything to wax poetic about, but Desert Treasure still manages to set the stage up for players in a very efficient manner.

The slots of Desert Treasure are filled with opportunities that adventurous punters would find very difficult to pass up on. The game combines a solid base game with a robust dose of bonus features that would keep players engaged and hanging around for many hours. Players must try to activate the Dollar Ball optional progressive jackpot for a chance at every spin to win a massive cash prize, for a marginal cost.

FEATURE SYMBOLS

The common characters 10, J, Q, K and A are the lower-value symbols adorned with different desert creepy crawlies but higher up the scale, there’s a bunch of desert related items which includes a swarthy gentleman with an eyepatch, a camel and an oasis. Special symbols are a golden cobra wild, a dark-haired princess scatter and a bonus symbol that has a compass and a map where players would see that X marks the spot.

BONUS FEATURES

Treasure Chest Bonus

Landing three, four or five of the map/compass symbols on an active payline would kick off the mini-game. You would know right away as you would be taken to a screen where the swarthy chap lets you pick three, four or five (depending on how many bonus symbols you landed) chests, each holding a cash amount.

Free Spins

Those who like a free spins round would be reassured to know that you can win ten spins by landing three or more of the princess scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. During this phase, all your wins will be tripled and as an extra, it’s possible to win more spins by landing three more scatters.

Dollar Ball Jackpot

For a small extra charge, you can take part in one of Playtech’s progressive jackpots and all you need to do is click the “Enable” button next to the Dollar Ball logo in the top right-hand corner.

You now pick five numbers from 1 – 49 (or you can let the machine pick them for you) and on each spin, there’ll be a lottery-type draw. Matching one, two or three numbers would win you a fixed amount as stated in the paytable, four numbers wins you 1% of the progressive jackpot and five numbers would win you the entire thing!
