The scatters come into play once two or more land in any position on the reels. This will award a win of 2 times your bet. If you get 3 scatters you will win 5 times your bet, four will pay 10 times and 5 will pay an whopping 500 times your bet. As the max coin size is $5 that equals a win of $2500! The scatter is also your ride into the sunset and the frère spins. Should you get 3 scatters you will win 10 free spins with a 3 times multiplier. The free spins can be re-triggered to award an additional 10 free spins.

The bonus game is won when 3 or more of the Map/Compass symbol stops on the reels in any position. You will get to visit the desert store and pick an item to award you with an instant cash prize. This is pretty basic bonus game but it does the trick with some decent prizes.

The last feature is the Dollar ball. The dollar ball must be enabled prior to spinning the reels. It is a side bet that will allow you the chance to hit the progressive jackpot. It will choose 5 balls towards a lotto type draw. If you land all 5 numbers then you will win the progressive jackpot however there are other prizes as well for other variations of balls you hit on.

This is a solid video slot that offers up some excellent potential when you consider the addition of the Dollar Ball. The desert is calling my friend, grab your scarfs and get ready to climb the sand dunes in search of your treasure!
