Desert Dreams Slot Review 2024

Desert Dreams is a 5 reel slot with 20 bet lines. This Cryptologic game offers a payout of $20,000 and as features a mix of multipliers, wild symbols and scatter symbols.

The action in Desert Dreams takes place in Egypt, and the main characters in the slot are archaeologists looking for information on the ancient Egyptian civilization. You can see the pyramids in the image behind the reels. The entire design is themed around the Egyptians. You can see the drawings on the walls of the pyramids in the background, behind the reels. On the reels the various images have round borders around them, which also look Egyptian. The symbols used include the Explorer, the Sarcophagus, the blonde lady scientist, the local guide, a camel, a pickaxe, a shovel, the Ankh cross, a gold Egyptian coin, a ceramic vessel and a compass.

With wagers of up to $100 and prizes of up to $20,000, the game should prove attractive enough for most people. It uses a maximum of 20 coins, whose value go up to $5 each. The smallest coin value is $0.01. Up to 4000 coins can be won.

The combination of five symbols which will pay the maximum of 4000 coins is comprised of wild icons, which have the image of the Explorer on them. These have their own prizes when they're on the same line, but the rest of the time they act as substitutes and they help create new combinations of symbols. The wild will not substitute for the scatter, but it will do so for all other icons.

The scatter is the image of the sarcophagus, with the Egyptian Pharaoh on it. A scatter is special because it will fulfill its role based on the total number of symbols of this type which are present anywhere on the screen, while a regular symbol needs for its symbols to show up on the same active line. The payouts offered by the scatter are between 1x and 100x the amount wagered during that round on all the lines. If 3 or more scatters show up, the player gets the prize plus 10 spins for free. These spins have 3x multipliers, so all the payouts won while they are used will triple in value.

Fans of Egyptian themed slots will have fun here. There are a lot of games with a similar theme out there, but Desert Dreams does an honorable job and manages to keep the player's attention.
