It offers you the opportunity to uncover the Sultan’s lost treasures. With the knowledge that the Sahara desert covers 9 million square kilometres, amounting to 31% of Africa, you need some real magic to find them.
An old Tuareg man from a North African ethnic group (in a dark blue cloak) is at your side, handing you Magic tokens to trigger Free Spins where all wins are doubled, and Wilds are stacked.
Up-tempo Arabian beats and strings are adjusted to the action on the reels, culminating when you hit the exciting Free Spins. With a maximum win of 100 000 coins (calculated 2222x the total bet) in plain sight and an RTP of 95.29%, this Medium Volatility slot is another worthy addition to Microgaming’s ever-expanding portfolio.

Personal testers’ opinion about Magic of Sahara slot
- This is yet another proof of All41 Studio’s superb mastery with its ultra-crafted, super-sharp graphics and elegant symbols. Magic of Sahara is easy on the eyes (artistic) and ample smooth on the moves (gameplay), both of which deliver mesmeric power. And yet, the game is semi-popular (perhaps because of the low RTP). Nowadays, only Progressive Jackpot games have an RTP under 96%.
Other reasons could be the insufficient hit frequency here (only around 19%), no re-triggers for the Free Spins possible, nor multipliers in the base game. The paytable is decent: Scatters pay the usual 100x the total bet (for 5OAK). Wilds shell out 133x the total bet (for 5OAK). The stacked Wild function on the last 2 reels rarely delivers good combinations on a 9 liner. Thank god for the 2 Scatters, who bring equal to the bet amount, come often, but why do we even consider this as a plus point?
- OK, there are more stacked Wilds and multiplier x2 in the Free Spins, but the results there are also not good enough to make this slot a widely desirable and in-demand game. Our multiple test sessions with demo and real credits proved equally unsuccessful, and in most cases, we ended with an empty balance.
- Altogether, graphic and design-wise, this slot belongs to the top-shelf games. From there – it slides down in the rank because it lacks dramatic functions and better returns to the player.
Features
- Wild Magic of Sahara Logo – Highest value symbol replaces all other symbols, except for Pot of Gold Scatters. Appears stacked on reels 3 and 4 in the main game and stacked on all reels during Free Spins.
- Free Spins – There are 2 ways to get to the Free Spins mode:
1 – In the base game, Magic Tokens are collected from the reels and put onto the magic Chain above the reels. When 25 or more are collected, 25 Free Spins with x2 Multiplier are awarded.
2 – If you land 3 or more Pot of Gold Scatters before you collected 25 Tokens, you will receive the amount of Free Spins with x2 Multiplier equal to the number of Tokens on the chain. The Scatters appear only in the base game.
In both cases, extra 5 Free Spins are added upon entry into the Free Spins, and in both cases, they cannot be re-triggered. All wins are doubled, and Wilds appear stacked on all reels.
