Sheik Yer Money Slot Review

Sheik Yer Money, is an Arabic themed pokies game. In the background of the game there is a golden Sheik’s palace. The game also has desert backgrounds and all the things one would expect from an Arabic themed slot machine.

The symbols are a collections of gems and letters which spin on dark blue reels inside the golden frame of the interface. This pokies game is one of the better looking games from the notoriously bland pokies developed by Barcrest.

Developers

Barcrest, are a wholly owned subsidiary of the Scientific Games Corporation a massive company based in Nevada. Their claim to fame is the introduction of the first secure, instant lottery ticket in 1974. Barcrest develops pokie machines for a predominantly U.K and European market.

They have a few successful titles but are hardly a massive player in the world of online pokies. Their games are renowned for having very generous RTPs and accommodating high rollers, but they often fall down a bit aesthetically.

The Design

As previously mentioned, it is an Arabic themed slot. The colour scheme features lots of gold, hinting at the wealth of the sheik who parades around the game in animations.

The sheik shake animation is very well put together, as are the spinning lamp animations. The game features Arabic themed music while the reels are spinning. It looks good, and the same cannot be said for a number of Barcrests other games.

It is the little things that the player will notice, like how the gems sparkle when they are part of a wining line, or how the lamps spin. The reel spinning animation lags and is not as smooth as the player will expect from a modern slot game. But overall, it is an aesthetically pleasing game.

How to play

This pokies game has ten winning lines over 5 reels. You begin a spin with the green button to the right of the screen, sit back and watch the gems go round and round.

The mystic lamp symbol will lock in place for the players remaining big bet spins and also acts as a wild symbol. This will assist with wins, making it a lot more likely to form a winning combination. Betting higher, adds more symbols to the game. The mystery symbol will change on each big bet spin.

Special Feature

There are no bonus rounds or free spins. The mystic lamp symbol will act as a will and change to another payable symbol. Big rollers are taken care of in this game.

Betting higher unlocks additional symbols, more ways to win and increases the RTPs. A standard bet will payback 96.20%, but a big bet increases the long term payback to 98.20%. A big bet locks a fixed bet in for five turns, so bet large at your bankrolls peril.

Maximum Payout

The maximum win per spin is 250x your bet. That is some sheik wealth. The highest bet in the game is £20 making Jackpot a lucrative £5000. With the generous RTPs and win assisting mystical lamp wilds, this game is an easy one to stretch a bank roll and with a little luck leave with more than you started.

Summary

This is by far, one of Barcrest’s better games. While it is lacking in bonus features it makes up for it with a lucrative pay back percentage and some nice base game features.

The sheik shake and mystical lamp keep things interesting. From an aesthetics point of view, this is a great pokies. The little details make all the difference and players will appreciate the gaming experience.
