On the reels, you’ll notice coin symbols that come with cash values attached. These symbols activate the Cash Collect feature when the Cash Collect symbol lands on reel 5. The cash values attached to any coins also on display on that spin are collected and award as an instant cash prize. You can collect multiple coins on the same spin for ever bigger rewards.

The Cash Collect symbol is the also the key that unlocks the Free Games feature.

Sahara Riches: Cash Collect Review Summary – entertaining take on a classic theme

I enjoyed this virtual trip to the sands of North Africa. The simple, understated design in the Sahara Riches: Cash Collect slot works very nicely. There’s a decent amount of variety on offer from the gameplay thanks to the Cash Collect extras.

The Cash Collect symbols can really come into their own during the free spins thanks to the sticky Cash Collect symbols which can land on all 5 reels. The 4 fixed jackpots are a nice addition are where the bigger wins will come from. Saying that, the max win of 500 x stake is not exactly enticing.

The desert trek theme is a very popular one but there are better ones than Sahara Riches: Cash Collect. NetEnt’s Arabian Nights may not look as good but it does come with a progressive jackpot that averages €1.2 million. Another option is Tomb of Akhenaten by Nolimit City which comes with 26,261 x stake payouts.
