Sahara Nights Basics
After a clean setup menu against the backdrop of the Sahara Desert, Sahara Nights opens with an enchanting journey to a beautiful palace. The reels feature alluring gemstones of red, blue, green, and orange colours.
In the first stages, you will also find some familiar characters on the reels, artfully imagined:
- The Sultan
- His daughter, the Princess
- A young would-be prince
- The mysterious djinn
Tomes of One Thousand and One Nights show up as well. Majestic swords and jewel-adorned goblets complete the atmosphere.
Depending on how lucky you are, with the Sultan’s help, you can win from 1 to 175 times your stake. The wildcard symbols are magic genie lamps on reels 2 through 4. The Genie Wild is a Sahara Nights special triggered by a winning combination. You get a full reel expansion to boost your odds as the genie emerges from the confines of his lamp.
You can score Free Spins in Sahara Nights if you manage 3, 4, or 5 storybook symbols. With the three Free Spin symbols, you can go for 1 to 1,000 times your open stakes. You can win all the treasure you need this way – forget three wishes! The Sticky wild found on the three central reels will grant you two extra spins. Landing 2 to 5 spin symbols on the reels gives you 2 - 16 more spins, with a chance to multiply your riches by 1,000!
It’s easy to see the allure of this title from Yggdrasil. If you are a daring and luck is on your side, you can rack up big cash prizes on Sahara Nights. The five-on-a-pay-line game offers up to 175 times your stake amount. The expanding free wilds have made many a player richer than the Sultan himself.
