Symbols

Some symbols like the cougar allow you to win prizes when 2 symbols line up. Besides the A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 which don’t pay that much, Desert Hawk reveals a varied and lucrative wildlife. The cougar can pay up to 25x the bet, the hyena up to 20x and the fox and scorpion up to 10x the bet. There is also the Wild represented by the eagle capable of replacing all the symbols in the game and the Oasis which will be your Scatter capable of activating winnings anywhere with prizes up to 100x the bet.

Our opinion on Desert Hawk

The Desert Hawk slot developed by Ainsworth is the kind of game that will appeal to lovers of natural and wild spaces, not only will you encounter the main predators of the desert including cats, eagles and scorpions but you will also be able to enjoy a sublime backdrop revealing a sunset between the sand dunes. On screen it gives us that warm orange-red glow while the dusty wind brings dried leaves across our field of vision. The soundtrack is repetitive but catchy enough with guitar and percussion so we don’t get bored during the game. You’ll find what you need in terms of features with the Wild, Scatter and Desert Hawk Feature and Desert Hawk Extra Feature. Now start this desert expedition with the free demo version of the game.
