Sahara Riches Cash Collect

Let’s hope that anyone that opts to play Sahara Riches has packed their sun cream. This slot is set in the Sahara Desert, as the name suggests, with this theme being consistent throughout the various features in this slot. 

Sahara Riches contains two different bonus modes and four fixed jackpot values; however, the visuals cannot be ignored either. The background is relatively minimal, with a palace and river appearing on either side of the board. Whether these features are real or simply a mirage is yet to be seen!

This slot features five reels, which is fairly typical of the provider. Playtech have created a range of other popular online slot machines in the past, including the likes of Rulers of the World: Empire Treasures and Buffalo Blitz Megaways. They have even produced live casino games, with Spin A Win being perhaps their biggest success in this area.

Players can get started with Sahara Riches: Cash Collect with a minimum stake of 0.10 per spin, which will cover all of the 30 paylines.

All symbols within Sahara Riches fit seamlessly with the desert theme, besides the standard J, Q, K, and A, all of which award 1.5x the bet size when 5 are matched. In order of ascending desirability, the next symbols are an hourglass, followed by a dagger and a pink bottle. Matching 5 of these bottles will award the player with 3x the stake size.

Towards the higher end, a green camel and a chest full of golden coins can be seen. There are also the gold coins themselves, which can appear randomly on any spin. Finally, there are three special symbols in the form of wild, cash collect icons, and numbered symbols. Wilds can substitute for any standard symbol, while the cash collect and number icons are linked to different bonus modes.

As touched on earlier, there are different bonus modes within Sahara Riches. The first is mentioned in the title of the game and is known as cash collect. Should the corresponding symbol land in reel 5, then all coins will be collected, before the values are added together and awarded to the player. 

 If any of these symbols is a diamond, one of the jackpots at the top of the screen will be awarded randomly. The jackpots are mini, minor, major, and grand, that potentially award 20x, 50x, 200x, and 500x the stake size, respectively.

The main bonus within this slot, like with many others, is the free spins mode. To trigger this, players need to land a number icon and a cash collect symbol in reel five. If this happens, then the total shown on the number icon(s) will be awarded as free spins. 

During the bonus mode, cash collect can still take place. In addition, this symbol can now land in any of the reels, not just the fifth one. Should a cash collect symbol drop, it will lock in place for three turns. Everything else is virtually identical to the base game. 

Perhaps the most popular feature within this game is Cash Collect. During the bonus mode, this can get pretty chaotic, depending on the number of coins and diamonds that drop when the cash collect symbol is sticky!
