Desert Treasure II is the second game in this series that Playtech offers, with a theme that is not the most interesting ever, but it still manages to capture the imagination with the treasures it promises. The design hasn’t changed that much since the first game, but they did improve the look of the symbols somewhat, just not enough to warrant a new version of the game being launched. The focus is just as before, on a treasure seeker that finds a hidden oasis and the gold and jewels that are there.
This 5 reel game will give you up to 20 paylines to bet on. It was created by Playtech, with features including a bonus game, free spins, multipliers, scatter symbols and expanding wilds. Its top payouts are impressive, capable of awarding up to $100,000.
Features of Desert Treasure II
The features were also improved somewhat, one example being the expanding wild symbol (though it no longer offers the biggest prize). The other features are the scatter, the free games with multipliers and the bonus game.
The Cobra Wild is limited to three reels this time, the ones from the 2nd, 3rd and 4th positions. Though it doesn’t appear as often, the wild now expands to cover the entire reel, if that results in the formation of a new combination. With the exception of bonus or scatter symbols, all others can take advantage of the wild symbol.
The same brunette girl, though drawn differently now, will be used as the scatter. Once again, you get prizes of 2x to 500x the bet from her, when she is present up to five times on the reels, during the same spin.
Free Games Feature
With the same brunette girl scattered on the reels, in at least three positions, you will win a round of 15 spins for free, with x2 multipliers which will double the prizes.
Oasis Bonus Game
The bonus game starts up in the same way as before, with the help of a three symbol combo, formed on an active payline, using Treasure Map bonus symbols in it. You are taken to a screen in the hidden oasis, where you are asked to pick 3 to 5 treasure chests, depending on how many bonus symbols triggered the feature.
A chance exists that you will find in one of the chests a map, which will take you to another location, either a hidden sanctum or a secret tent. Once again, you would have 3 to 5 choices to make, with even better payouts offered.
Betting options and jackpots
The betting range has enough space for anyone to be able to use this game, starting at just $0.01 and reaching $200 when everything is maxed out. The bets are placed on 20 paylines, with up to 10 coins, denominations being $0.01 to $1. Line wagers stop at $10.
The Bedouin symbol is the one responsible for the biggest prize being awarded, with the 10,000x line bet multiplier bringing you up to $100,000 (with $10 line bets used).
Design and symbols
The design hasn’t changed that much since the first slot from the series. You still get a desert themed slot, with the action taking place among the dunes, on the way to an oasis where treasures are hidden. The main characters are the same ones, the beautiful brunette girl and the Bedouin, with various insects and reptiles present among the symbols.
Symbols: Cobra (wild), Treasure Map (bonus), Arabian Girl (scatter, 500x bet), Bedouin (10,000x), Oasis (500x), Camel (400x), Ace (200x), King (150x), Queen (125x), Jack (100x), 10 (75x) and 9 (50x).
Is It Worth Playing?
I’d say so, at least if you enjoyed the first slot from the series. It has big prizes, it has a couple of above average features and its graphics are not that bad, even though they’re almost the same as in the other slot.
This Desert Treasure II slot is offered by all online casinos with Playtech software, playable either in practice or in real money mode.
