Secrets of the Desert

Secrets of The Desert is a five reel slot based upon Cleopatra and her Egyptian empire. It includes a range of features and sports animated 3D graphics to bring something new to an already busy genre. But is this enough to give it an edge over other slots? We've reviewed it to find out.

Secrets of the Desert Theme

If you've got any knowledge of Egypt or have played other slots in this genre then you'll probably recognise some of the symbols. These include The Eye of Ra, Sphinx, Pyramids, eagles, sarcophagus, Cleopatra, Pharaoh, scarab beetles, ankhs and tomb icons. Most of these icons are animated too which really enhances the whole experience.

Standard icons include 9, 10, J, Q, K and A which are used generically by almost all slot designers to bulk out the icon lineup.

Betting Options and More Functions

Betting options are surprisingly similar to other Amuzi slots; probably to keep things simple. You are able to to bet 0.01 to $12.50 per spin which is configured by selecting a coin value, number of lines and bets per line. When comparing this to the prizes available we'd say it's a pretty fair range because the maximum payout is $625.

Secrets of the Desert Slot Features

Cleopatra is perhaps the most famous Queen of Egypt of all time and her fame precedes her on this slot because her symbol is wild. If one or more cleopatra icons is used to create a win it is doubled and her icon is able to substitute for any regular icon. This means the scattered sphinx cannot be replaced by the wild.

A free games feature can be won when three or more scattered sphinx icons appear. This first awards a random number of spins (up to 20) and a multiplier between two and four times. You can even win more free spins (retrigger) during the feature if three or more sphinx icons appear (up to 1,000 spins can be won in this way).

Our Take on Secret of the Desert

Can there ever be too many Egyptian themed slots? Judging by the quality presented here we'd have to say no - a great addition to the genre in a visual and gameplay sense. The free spins feature is simple, but get's our seal of approval thanks to the additional multipliers.
