You can choose to bet between one and ten coins per line giving you a maximum bet of 200 coins per spin. Coin sizes start at a penny for the low rollers and go up to five dollar for the high rollers. This means that you can play just 20 coins per spin at the penny denomination for 20 cents a spin and up to 200 coins at the five dollar coin size for a staggering $1000 a spin!
As the name suggests the game has a Desert theme which is similar to the Egyptian them found on popular slots such as Queen of the Nile from Aristocrat and Cleopatra from IGT. Symbols include a gold cobra which is wild and substitutes for all other symbols except scatters and map bonuses, a camel, an oasis, a desert man and the Queen of the Nile herself.
The top jackpot on Desert Treasure is 10,000 coins multiplied by your line bet of up to 10 coins. This makes for a 100,000 top prize at max bet. To win the jackpot you need to hit five wild cobra symbols on any active line. There is actually another way to win 100,000 coins and that is by hitting five of the Queen of the Nile scatter symbols while playing 200 coins a spin.
After these tow great wins the pays drop substantial to 500 coins for five oasis symbols and then to 400 for five camels. There is one way to get even bigger jackpots and that is with the free spin bonus game.

Slots enthusiasts who have been enthralled by Desert Treasure II can do themselves a huge favor by checking out the game that started it all: Desert Treasure. There’s not so much narrative continuity in Desert Treasure but fans of the sequel should definitely try the original and we’ll tell you why you should down below.
Desert Treasure is an online slot that has five reels and 20 paylines developed by Playtech. It’s set amongst the sand, the pyramids and the oases of Egypt and right above the reels, you can see a desert vista stretching into the vast distance.
To start discovering the riches hidden in the immense desert, players need to decide on their bet. Clicking on +/- in the lower right corner adjusts the coin size, ranging from 0.01 to 5. Each click on the “Bet per Line” button adds a coin to the line bet. To add a payline, players should push “Select Lines”. “Spin” starts the game and 'Bet Max' wagers the maximum sum, immediately initiating the spinning of the reels. To play multiple times consecutively, players can click the wrench button in the upper right corner and then “Autoplay.”
As a player, you would be faced with the difficulty of adapting in the arid desert. The entire game screen is colored in bright yellow, mimicking the sand as it shines under the demanding sun. Above the reels, a few pyramids stand right above the horizon.
The game’s title features prominently in between a group of palm trees — which happens to be the only sign of life that can be seen in this particular game. The graphics might not be anything to wax poetic about, but Desert Treasure still manages to set the stage up for players in a very efficient manner.
The slots of Desert Treasure are filled with opportunities that adventurous punters would find very difficult to pass up on. The game combines a solid base game with a robust dose of bonus features that would keep players engaged and hanging around for many hours. Players must try to activate the Dollar Ball optional progressive jackpot for a chance at every spin to win a massive cash prize, for a marginal cost.
FEATURE SYMBOLS
The common characters 10, J, Q, K and A are the lower-value symbols adorned with different desert creepy crawlies but higher up the scale, there’s a bunch of desert related items which includes a swarthy gentleman with an eyepatch, a camel and an oasis. Special symbols are a golden cobra wild, a dark-haired princess scatter and a bonus symbol that has a compass and a map where players would see that X marks the spot.
BONUS FEATURES
Treasure Chest Bonus
Landing three, four or five of the map/compass symbols on an active payline would kick off the mini-game. You would know right away as you would be taken to a screen where the swarthy chap lets you pick three, four or five (depending on how many bonus symbols you landed) chests, each holding a cash amount.
Free Spins
Those who like a free spins round would be reassured to know that you can win ten spins by landing three or more of the princess scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. During this phase, all your wins will be tripled and as an extra, it’s possible to win more spins by landing three more scatters.
Dollar Ball Jackpot
