Sahara Queen

Egyptian themes are a favourite of game makers, though usually, these feature Cleopatra or Pyramids. This Genesis Gaming doesn’t really bother with either and at the same times sort of feature both. The thing you’ll notice first(at least after reading this review) is the high RTP. Once upon a time, 96% was considered the average. Lately, it has been hiking up to 97%, as is the case with this game. Check out below what other surprises are to be found in Sahara Queen slot.

Theme

The game is set in an ancient temple, one where the Sahara Queen is revered highly. The game comes with the usual playing card ranks, though they’ve all been made fit the theme. On top of this, the screen is full of ancient symbols from snakes to scarabs, cats and all sort of treasures. The sound effects and music are clearly inspired by the era and drive their purpose skilfully. All in all, though, the game doesn’t differ that much from other games with similar themes.

Betting Options and Functions

This slot comes with full fifty paylines, though you can choose to have anything between one and the full sum in play. Bets start from 0.01 coins per line and run all the way into full ten coins per line. Or so in theory, in truth, most online casinos will limit the coin selection to more manageable options.

The game comes with pretty much standard five lines, though each has four symbols. The interface is pretty slick...even if in some ways slightly aged. The game runs smoothly on all devices and comes with your standard options for the mute, turbo play and such.

Features

Scatters will pay out a certain prize based on your bet. More importantly, they reward the player with bonus games. Three or more scatters will dish out eight bonus games. During these, the Sahara Queen functions as a stacked wild, with the added option of Wild Slide. This means that if any portion of the stacked wild shows up on the reel the whole reel is filled. More scatters means more bonus games.

Besides this, the game does not offer any special features. However, given the high RTP, the feature is worth it when the wins roll in. It might take a bit of luck though.

Our Take

Sahara Queen is one of those slots that doesn’t really add anything spectacular to the genre but does manage to nevertheless stand on its own feet against the competition. This is due to the combination of bonus games and high basic wins. The wilds and scatters are the most important symbols here. Overall the playing experience is quite a pleasant one, making the game especially fitting for short bursts of gaming. If you have some bonus money laying around you might want to use it here.
