Discover the Magic of Sahara

The world is a big place. So big, in fact, that you could easily spend your whole life travelling and still not have time to see more than a tiny fraction of its myriad wonders. That’s why we always welcome online slot games which manage to bring us a taste of an far-off location that we can enjoy from the comfort of wherever we happen to be, and Magic of Sahara is one of the latest releases to be added to this ever-appealing category.

Golden Sands of Magic and Mystique

As the name of this five-reel slot suggests, the destination here is the Sahara Desert, which lies on the continent of Africa. This hot desert is one of the largest in the world, and only beaten in size by the much cooler deserts of Antarctica and the Arctic. Imagine golden sands stretching in every direction, as far as the eye can see and even further, with scorching temperatures and – because this is a slot developed exclusively for Microgaming by All41 Studios – mystic dunes which hide a secret.

What secret, you may well ask? The answer is treasure. So much treasure that you might mistake it for being nothing more than a mirage conjured by your mind in the excessive heat, but wrongly so. The five reels provide the way to those magical dunes, and they are set against the desert backdrop in all of its golden glory. Symbols include the playing card ranks of 10, J, Q, K and A, a group led by camels, male and female travelers, a bowl of treasure scatter symbol, a Magic of Sahara logo, which is wild, and a mysterious desert merchant.

The visuals in Magic of Sahara are richly detailed, and are nicely animated at key points, whilst the authentic soundtrack provides an additional layer of realism. Granted, you won’t get yourself a tan playing this title, but the gaming action itself is as hot as the desert which inspired it.

Token Chain

The merchant in this game holds a mysterious token, and if you look across the top of the reels you will see a chain of empty token spaces. Every time the merchant symbol appeals on the reels, the token he holds will be added to the next available empty token space. When you have managed to collect 25 or more tokens in this way, you will trigger the Magic of Sahara Free Spins round.

As well as being triggered by collecting 25 or more tokens on the Token Chain, as mentioned a moment ago, the Free Spins round can also be activated by getting three or more bowls of treasure on the reels at the same time. However you manage to set this feature into motion, it will give you as many as 34 free spins. That is generous enough, but you will also be treated to the value of all wins being doubled, and all wild symbols will be stacked on all five of the reels.

A Truly Immersive World

‘Magic of Sahara brings the wonder of the desert sands to life,’ said James Buchanan, who is Director of Global Operations at Microgaming. ‘All41 Studios have crafted a truly immersive world, with the game’s excellent soundtrack and detailed artwork, which dynamically transitions between day and night cycles, creating a spellbinding atmosphere. As well as providing a feast for the senses, Magic of Sahara delivers engrossing features in the form of the Token Chain collection mechanic and a highly rewarding free spins round, complete with the win boosting 2x multiplier.’

The development team is also rightfully proud of their new title. ‘We’re excited to take players on a mystical journey to experience the Magic of Sahara,’ said Julia Saburova, who is Head of All41 Studios. ‘Our latest slot adventure celebrates the enchanting fables of African nomad culture, combining detailed and dynamic graphics with engaging game mechanics. It has been a real thrill for us to capture the unique mystery and allure of the warm sands.’
