As usual for three-reelers, there’s just one payline in Rival Software's Crazy Camel Cash. You can bet one to three coins, coin size 0.1 to 5. So the maximum bet is 15.

Three camels give the top jackpot of 2000, two camels give 1000 and three camels 500. For three goblets score 450, three Arabs score 300, three palm trees will net you 195 for and three flying carpets will bring 120. BARs score less. The pulsing rhythm soundtrack is suitably eastern: imagine a bellydancer shaking her booty to it and this will significantly increase the interest level in this rather dull game.

The camel is the Wild and he gives a knowing wink when he adds to your bank balance. But this game and thrills are two things at opposite ends of the Sahara. If you think you see something exciting going on, it turns out to be a mere mirage. The excitement is buried deeper than Tutankhamun’s tomb.

That’s it. We’re sinking in the quicksand – fast.
