How to Play the Sahara Nights Slot.

Sahara Nights

Even small children know from the stories “A Thousand and One Nights” that there are still numerous valuable treasures hidden in the Orient. Of course, you can only track them down on site. Or you just try your luck at Spielautomaten Sahara Nights from the house Yggdrasil. I took a closer look at the oriental slot and in the following review I'll tell you whether it's worth playing.

Design

The people in charge at Yggdrasil put a lot of effort into developing “Sahara Nights”. The game should impress every lover of the Orient thanks to the magnificent equipment of the playing field (everything is made of gold here, of course), the typical oriental background music and the numerous magical elements from the first minute. The visual highlight here is clearly a friendly, blue-glowing genie in a bottle that climbs out of a magic lamp and hoggles a complete cylinder. You definitely don't see that every day.

Gameplay

Sahara Nights Slot Review

“Sahara Nights” is a 5 reel, 3 row slot machine with 20 fixed paylines. As with most other slots, your job is to collect at least three identical symbols on a payline from left to right. Of course, these also come in the form of Arabic classics such as differently colored gemstones, jeweled cups or swords. There is also a princess, an Aladdin and a sultan. The latter is particularly valuable, because if you appear five times it gives you 175 times your previous stake. The genie in a bottle already mentioned above (resident in the magic lamp symbol) is also part of the party. He can only be found on reels 2, 3 and 4 and functions as a wild symbol. So it can replace all other symbols with the exception of the scatter symbol.

Other special features

Genie Wilds feature

If the wonder lamp symbol helps to form a winning combination, it spreads over the entire reel and the ghost slumbering in it comes to the fore - making bigger wins possible. Unfortunately, the ghost appears very rarely. Which is a shame especially because it is the only bonus feature in the base game. In the event that you can collect three ghosts side by side, you will receive two re-spins.

Free Games

Free spins await you in “Sahara Nights” by Yggdrasil. These are always triggered when you can collect three or more scatter symbols (a magic book) anywhere on the playing field. The number of books that land on the field at the same time is extremely important! Because they not only bring you a different number of free spins, but also great bonus prizes:

• For 3 scatters there are 8 free spins and 1 times the stake as a win
• With 4 scatters there are 12 free spins and 10 times the stake
• And for 5 scatters you get 16 free spins and 1.000 times the stake

Sahara Nights Free Slot

You read that right: Five scatter symbols on the field bring you an impressive win even before the free spins start. In the free spins that start afterwards, with a little luck you can win more free spins. This is possible by gathering three blue ghosts next to each other (as in the base game) and receiving two free spins as a thank you. Or you just roll at least two scatters to get two free spins as well. If three or more scatters land on the field, the free spins round starts over and you also receive the cash prizes listed above.

Big and small stakes

If you don't want to invest too much money, you can play “Sahara Knights” for inexpensive 20 cents. Ideally, however, you can also risk up to 100 euros per round. The payout rate is 96,2 percent in a very good range and the maximum profit is 3.500 times your stake. The fact that you actually receive this is, however, quite unrealistic, because in this case only Sultan symbols would have to be gathered on the entire playing field.

At the end...

“Sahara Knights” is an all-round convincing slot in terms of optics. Unfortunately, the range of bonus features in this game is very limited, especially in the classic base game, so that you can actually only reap the really big winnings in the free spins round. A little more variety would certainly have been desirable here. All in all, however, “Sahara Knights” is an extremely entertaining slot for all fans of Arab culture.

Head to the Sahara

Beautifully designed as always from Yggdrasil Gaming, you are taken to the Sahara Desert and inside a beautiful temple. With an Arabic feel and enchanting soundtrack, symbols include orange, green, blue and red gemstones on the reels. You’ll also see jewel-encrusted goblets, swords and 3 characters – a male resembling Aladdin, a princess and the Sultan.

Genie Wilds feature – expanding wilds

The Sultan is the most rewarding symbol by far with 2, 3, 4 or 5 in combination giving you 1, 2.5, 10 or 175 times your stake. The genie’s lamp is the wild symbol which appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4 – as well as replacing the usual symbols, it can expand to take over the whole reel when giving you a winning combination. Once expanded, it will showcase a genie wild reel. This is known as the Genie Wilds feature.

Free Spins feature – locked wild reels

Sahara Nights comes with a Free Spins feature – this is played when you get 3, 4 or 5 story book free spin symbols. 3, 4 or 5 will give you 8, 12 or 16 free spins as well as a 1, 10 or 1,000 times stake payout. You are than transported to a dreamland of riches.

The wild will only appear on the 3 middle reels again but will automatically expand and remain sticky for the duration of the feature. If you get 3 wild symbols, you will get 2 additional free spins. Furthermore, 2, 3, 4 or 5 free spin symbols will give you 2, 8, 12 or 16 more free spins. 3, 4 or 5 of them will give you 1, 10 or 1,000 times your stake too.

Big cash prizes for triggering the free spins

I really like Sahara Nights – it’s all about the expanding wilds which can lead to big payouts in the base game and Free Spins feature. Triggering the Free Spins feature with 5 free spin symbols will reward you with 1,000 times your stake but the main symbol is the Sultan.

With wins of 175 times your stake for 5 on a payline, a screen full of Sultans will result in a 3,500 times stake payout. It’s much easier to achieve this in the Free Spins feature due to the potential 3 sticky wild reels. Medium to high variance, Sahara Nights is an enchanting slot which promises a wild journey if you manage to hold onto your flying carpet. If you fancy conjuring up big rewards with magical genies, Playtech’s Treasures of the Lamps is recommended.
