Sahara Queen Slot Machine

In 1995, the world's first casino at the time, the Sahara-Kafranbel, was built for the first time for less than one million euro ($1. 5mn; £1. 6mn). Genesis Casino belongs to the thinking when it comes to improving slots. And now the casino has expanded to 25,000 beds, and to a more exotic location: the desert of Oman's capital city of Muscat. Sahara Queen was conceived when Morocco played host to the G20 summit in 2001.

Sahara Queen is a 4/4 game with 50 bets

The Gulf state wanted to keep the gaming industry from becoming another casualty of the oil boom that brought oil-fueled jobs and prosperity to Europe. A few years later when the G20 turned its attention to the Gulf nation, Sahara's gaming company, SAK Games, was looking for a new location. The Queen of Riches features the Megaway Game Engine with it's unique animation techniques and a high-polygon graphics engine. The decision soon led to the building of the first of what would have been the nationslot machines.

The Sahara Queen is also not to be confused with the Sahara Casino, a 6*4 game with 2,500 betweys in Cairo-based Muntaba. The "Sahara Queen" was the first video slot ever invented. Unlike the slot machines being played today, the slot players in the original version had to wait and see a woman sitting down at a table to fill their own chips before starting their game. At 6,500 pence each, it is said that the video slot in Sahara Queen is the most expensive in the world, but one which has only sold 4.6 million units worldwide, according to the site SAK Games.

The company has since expanded to an estimated 25,000 of the games -including a 7*6, an 8*4, and a 12*4 - with the addition of a series of new features. The Seven of Spades is a seven-slot video slot with 3200 to 10,000 pence (20 to 40 percent increase) bets each! With its unique design, the game offers a unique experience when the player is dealing with a player with a full complement of money.
