Sahara Nights Review

Sahara Nights is a video slot from Yggdrasil, and it comes with both expanding wilds and free spins with sticky wilds. You’ll see the stars above the beautiful Sahara desert in the background, and the music score is, of course, inspired by arabic culture. This is a medium variance game, and it was launched across all casinos on the 19th of September 2019.

The reels are set in the Sultan’s tempel, and it all plays out on 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 ways to win. You can place bets as high as £100 across all devices and platforms, and the RTP is a very average 96.2 %. In the base game you’ll benefit from a Genie Wild that will become stacked when it’s part of a winning combination.

What’s more interesting, is that in the free spins feature this same Genie Wild will also become sticky. This is where you can win big, and the potential max win on Sahara Nights slot is 3,068 times your stake. The game looks good, but it’s not as spectacular as some other slots from Yggdrasil. It does not really stick out in any way, and will probably end up as a mediocre title in their respective catalogue.

What symbols are there?

The highest paying symbol is the Sultan, followed by a princess and Aladdin himself. The reels are set against the starry Arabian night sky, and you need between 3 to 5 matching symbols on a payline to win. Here is the paytable for Sahara Nights slot:

• Sultan - Pays 175x for 5 on a payline
• Princess - Pays 175x for 5 on a payline
• Aladdin - Pays 25x for 5 on a payline
• Dagger - Pays 20x for 5 on a payline
• Goblet - Pays 15x for 5 on a payline
• 4 different colored gemstones - Pays 2x for 5 on a payline

What are the bonus features?

In the base game you’ll only find one bonus feature on this game, and that is the Genie Wild. This wild can only land on the 3 reels in the middle, and whenever a Genie Wild is part of a winning combo, it will grow into a fully stacked wild covering the whole reel. This, of course, can lead to some very nice payouts if you land a few at the same time.

Free spins in Sahara Nights

The free spins feature is the main attraction here, and you’ll benefit from the Genie Wild also during the free spins. You trigger this feature by landing 3, 4 or 5 storybook scatter symbols on the same spin, and this rewards you with 8, 12 or 16 free spins. What’s even better is that you will get a 1,000 times your stake win if you land all 5 scatters on the same spin.

So, back to the Genie Wilds. When such a wild lands during the free spins feature, it will do more than just expand. Here it also becomes a sticky wild, so you get fully stacked wild reel for the duration of the free spins. If all 3 middle reels have become fully stacked sticky wilds, you are granted 2 extra free spins. Land 2 scatters during the feature to re-trigger the free spins.

What is the jackpot (max win)?

There is not any kind of jackpot to be won on Sahara Nights, but you can still win decent payouts here. The max win is won when you fill the screen with Sultans, and this can more easily happen in the free spins feature where you can benefit from up to 3 stacked sticky wilds. Anyway, the max payout is 3,068 times your stake, which means you can win up to £306,800 on this medium volatile game.

SlotCatalog verdict

Sahara Nights is perhaps not the most impressive game we’ve seen from Yggdrasil, but it’s not bad either. The expanding wilds keeps the base game somewhat interesting, but it’s really in the free spins feature you can take down the bigger wins. Visually, the game looks good, but nothing out of the ordinary this time. If you like medium volatile action with a decent potential, you should give it a go.

Pros

• Expanding wild on the 3 middle reels
• Free spins with sticky expanding wilds
• Win up to 3,068x your stake

Cons

• No bonus game or jackpot
