Sand Storm is a classic non-progressive slot from the Microgaming’s library. It features 3 reels, 3 paylines, very few symbols and no bonuses at all. Thanks to a simplistic gameplay and easy rules, the slot will come handy to neophytes who may need some practice. 3-reel slot aficionados would find the game interesting and worthwhile as it offers potential for handsome prizes and an unusual desert theme with the camel as a jackpot symbol.

As each line accepts no more than one coin, you can set only two betting options: the number of active lines (1, 2 or 3) and a coin value ($0.25 to $5). So the minimum and maximum bets are $0.75 and $15 per spin. Sure, you can play with only one payline activated and thus spend less money; however, betting three coins will maximize your winning odds. Why so? Because the slot features a jackpot symbol (Camel) that pays the top jackpot of 4000 times a bet when three of them land on the third (bottom) line. If the third line is inactive, all winning combos that land along that line will not pay anything.

The Bar symbol is available in three variations: a single, double and triple bar. You will often see them creating combinations since they are low-paying symbols. Bar combinations pay one of the four possible values depending on which type of bars has landed: x5, x10, x20 or x50.

Sevens appear more rarely on the reels than bars but they are more profitable (x150) if you get three of them on a line. Besides, sevens and camels are able to create mixed combos and pay x75.

Three camels trigger a jackpot. Its cash value results from your bet size and the line where the camels appear. Wagering the maximum bet of $15 per spin increases a jackpot amount. Hitting three camels on the central line multiplies your bet by x1000; landing three camels on the top line wins x2000, and the same combination occurring on the bottom line will bring you x4000 or $20,000 at the maximum bet.
