Sahara Riches Megaways: Collect'Em Slot by Playtech

Two mechanics run at once in this Sahara Riches entry. The Megaways board stacks six reels between two and seven symbols tall, with a horizontal reel running across the top, so the number of ways to win keeps shifting spin to spin. Wins pay left to right on adjacent reels no matter how tall a symbol is, and every win clears its symbols so new ones tumble into the gaps. One spin can chain several times before it settles.

The other half is Cash Collect. Coins land carrying set cash values, and a Cash Collect symbol on that top reel sweeps up every Cash coin, Diamond Prize coin and Free Games coin sitting on the board at once. Miss the collector and those coins just pay nothing.

The Diamond Prize coin is where the fixed jackpots come in. Land one alongside a Cash Collect and you win one of four at random: Mini at 20x, Minor at 50x, Major at 200x or Grand at 500x. None of them grow over time, and you can hit them again and again.

Free Games use a freezing twist. Blue "+N" coins get gathered by a Cash Collect on the top reel, and your spin count is whatever those values add up to. Once inside, Cash Collect symbols can drop on any reel, and each one sticks in place for three spins, pulling in coins every spin it stays. Stack a few and the collection keeps compounding.

The green-veiled Arabian woman is the Wild, standing in for everything except the coins, Prizes, Free Games coins and the collector itself. Around her the reels sit against a moonlit desert: a domed sandstone palace glowing with golden onion-domes, dunes rolling toward a distant palm oasis under a deep-blue starry sky and a big pale moon. A jade camel, crossed jewelled daggers, a treasure pot, a spinning top and an hourglass fill out the rest.

It's a familiar build, honestly. Playtech has bolted this same Cash Collect coin loop onto plenty of themes, and the default returns run below average, so you're mostly paying for the jackpot chase rather than the base game.
