USA: 

There's was something enticing about the purple, black, and gold colors in the home page of Desert Nights Casino's theme. It could be the silhouette of camels on the dunes, or it could be the plethora of Number Eights: the free, no-deposit bonus of eight dollars for first-time players, and the whopping welcome bonus of up to USD8,888 within the first six deposits!

(Note on the massive incentive: Bet sizes during the six-game playthrough have limits and wagering rules are implemented. Except for progressives, all slot games are allowed; Keno and Scratch Cards can also be played. Note as well that the bonuses may not be cashed in although winnings up to $50 may be withdrawn.)

Registration did not take more than five minutes, and going to the instant-play feature was not hard either. I read the terms and conditions, and thought that I would really find great gaming experience at DesertNightsCasino.com even if it was relatively new in the business. Proceeding to the games was not difficult, except that accessing these through the download feature took a lot less energy and patience than getting on via instant play.

And now, the 150-plus games powered by the highly popular Real-Time Gaming software: Online Slots, Progressives, Table Games, Video Poker, Special Games.

There was a pretty wide selection of 5-reel, 3-reel, bonus-round, and progressives online slots to pick from, and I did not know where to begin. I wanted to play in the spirit of living the desert adventure – trying games close to the theme – but I thought I should try something that I have never seen in other sites before. I hit the progressives doing Count Spectacular, which was among the site's new games.

For Count Spectacular, a 25-payline video slot, I started out with $50 and entered the spooky game room of a castle with a coffin, some bats hovering over and howling wolves looking to suck blood, mirrors, the works. I likes it that the horror fun promised good winnings because there were better chances at the free spins and re-spins. The scatters had to appear in multiples (three of these or more at a time) to get a combination with corresponding wins.

Meantime, the wilds Count Spectacular wilds were kind enough to appear frequently, which was how I my spins were triggered. I was excited by the free-spin options (there were two) that gave me a hard time deciding whether I should avail the dozen free spins for tripled winning amounts, or the just the four free spins that offered more prizes. I strived to experience both that, together with other lucky opportunities, yielded a neat $25 to add to my initial deposit.

<>Fair enough, since I could no longer hope for any of the minor and major progressive jackpots. 

Other games I tried were Video Poker games in 1-hand, 3-hand, 10-hand, 52-hand, and 100-hand categories. I spent a great deal of effort on the double-or-nothing Mystery Bonus Poker. It had the slot feel, as well as the presence of Jacks or Better.

I placed single-coin dollar-bets that, during my short visit to the Video Poker room, yielded 250-coin payouts thrice when a Royal Flush appeared. Had I bet with five-coin hands, I would have gotten four thousand coins per payout on these occasions. But no regrets.

At the end of my session, I made $175 on the $25 initial deposit. I went through the cashier and cashing-out routine, which did not give me any headaches. This was why I promised myself that I would return to the site after checking out Desert Nights Casino's sister company, Sloto'Cash.
