Sahara Riches: Cash Collect Megaways

Set in the Sahara Desert, this online slot comes with some popular features, alongside an array of impressive visuals. As the name suggests, this version of Sahara Riches: Cash Collect comes with the Megaways mechanic, meaning that there is a maximum number of 86,436 active pay lines during any one spin.  

The board itself is in the middle of the desert, with a palace located on the left, and a watering hole to the right. Players can spin this slot with a minimum stake size of 0.10, while the maximum potential win sits at 500x the bet.

This game was produced by Playtech, who are also responsible for the original Sahara Riches: Cash Collect. The Megaways license was acquired by Big Time Gaming, with other releases from Playtech having this mechanic, including the likes of Buffalo Blitz Megaways and Fire Blaze: Blue Wizard Megaways. Sahara Riches also has the Cash Collect feature, joining top-tier slots such as Leprechauns Luck Cash Collect, and a handful of others. 

In order of desirability, J, Q, K, and A symbols all appear in Sahara Riches: Cash Collect Megaways. Next up are the premium icons, which are an hourglass, a dagger, a bottle, an emerald camel, and finally, a treasure chest full of coins. Should six of these form a matching combination across a payline, players will be awarded with 10x, 10x, 20x, 30x, or 50x their stake size, respectively.

Special symbols in this slot all revolve around the Cash Collect mechanic, with the exception being the wild symbol. Wilds are shown as a lady and have the ability to replace any standard symbol to create a matching combination. Other special symbols include a free spins icon, four different jackpot symbols, fixed value icons, and the Cash Collect symbol itself, all of which are covered in the section below! 

There are two bonus features in Sahara Riches, the first of which is based on the Cash Collect mechanic. If the 'Cash Collect' symbol appears on the top reel during the base game, it will collect any special icons in view. This can include fixed value icons, free spin symbols, or one of the four jackpots. These jackpots are mini, minor, major, and grand, which have values of 20x, 50x, 200x, and 500x the stake size, respectively.

If any free spin symbols are collected, the main bonus will trigger. The number of spins that will be awarded to the player is the total of all numbers on the corresponding symbols. During this mode, 'Cash Collect' symbols can appear on any of the reels and will hold in place for three spins. If free spin symbols are collected, additional plays will be awarded to the player. 

The incorporation of the Megaways mechanic into a popular game can help to offer even more entertainment due to the total number of paylines being random with each spin. Sahara Riches: Cash Collect Megaways also features high-quality graphics, with smooth animations and an engaging range of sounds.
