Slot Review: Desert Dreams

We play a lot of online slot games that are clearly derivative of hit Hollywood movies, television shows, video games, and books. Desert Dreams is evocative of a title that is not only another hit slot machine game, but also a video game AND a movie. No matter which medium you are familiar with, undoubtedly you’ve heard of the beautiful and deadly Lara Croft, the Tomb Raider. Consider Desert Dreams something of a Lara-Lite – it has all the familiar Egyptian artifacts, tools, and air of mystery, minus Angelina Jolie in a pair of khaki shorts with guns strapped to her thighs. We call that a bad trade, but there’s no accounting for taste.

Desert Dreams is a five-reel, twenty-payline online slot machine title by Cryptologic. Coin values range from one cent to twenty dollars, with max coins of twenty making the highest per-spin wager one of one hundred dollars. The top jackpot is twenty thousand dollars, or four thousand coins. This is an awesome slot game jackpot, one that you could easily use to explore Egypt yourself – tomb raiders and desert dreams be darned.

The moon rising over the pyramids is the background of this online slot game. Egyptian relics in muted colors, as well as a compass, a pick-axe, and other items all appear on the reels and support the theme well. The unnamed explorer is wild, and the sarcophagus symbol is the scatter symbol. There is a free spins feature that will win you ten free spins to continue your long night of Desert Dreams.
