- A simple but very effective new slot from Yggdrasil
- Free spins generate sticky stacked wilds for big payouts
- A fun game that pays well and keeps things simple
Sahara Nights slot from Yggdrasil is a relatively simple game, at least by Yggdrasils standards, that has some familiar features but which work in a way that can be very effective and lead to some big payouts and fun gameplay. Want to know more? Keep on reading then!
It’s a fairly basic theme here but I don’t mind as it’s quite effective and not overused. You have 5 reels with 3 rows offering a total of 20 paylines. You’ll need to get a win from left to right using the base symbols. These are as follows, ranked in ascending order based on their value:
- Amber, Green, Blue or Red Gem (lowest value)
- Goblet
- Dagger
- Green Man
- Blue Woman
- Red Man (highest value)
It’s worth noting here that the red man symbol is significantly higher value than any other symbol in the game, apart from the free spins symbol as we’ll soon see.

Sahara Nights Slot Bonuses and Features
Genie Wilds. The genie wild symbol can only land on reels 2, 3 and 4 and will substitute for all other symbols in a winning combination apart from the scatter symbol. Not only that, but if it can help form a winning combination, it can expand to fill the entire reel.
Free Spins Bonus. This is pretty much the only bonus in the slot so pay attention to what happens here. It’s triggered, as you might expect, by landing 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols anywhere on the reels at the same time. Landing just 3 will get you 8 free spins, plus a small cash reward. Landing 4 will give you 12 free spins plus a slightly bigger reward. Landing 5, however, will give you 16 free spins and a very impressive payout as well, probably more than you’ll get from the actual bonus. So what happens during these free spins then, or is that it? Well, during the bonus any wild symbols than land on reels 2, 3 and 4 will expand and remain sticky throughout the entire bonus. If you manage to fill all 3 of these reels you can expect some impressive payouts. Not only that, but landing 3 will also give you another 2 free spins, just to help you out a little bit more. To get more free spins, you can also land the free spins symbol again, but only 2 are needed which will give you 2 extra free spins, and landing 3, 4 or 5 will give you the same number of free spins as well as the initial payout I mentioned before.
Conclusion
Sahara Nights slot from Yggdrasil is a fun game with a Sahara theme and some good features that can offer impressive payouts. These will mainly come from the free spins bonus, where wilds are sticky and fill the entire reels. With 2 or 3 of these reels all wild, you can expect some good payouts, but without any sticky wilds, it can be quite disappointing. Personally, I think this is a simple but very effective slot that’s fun to play and can be very rewarding too, so be sure to check it out. You can also find some of their other slots here.
