One of my favorite stories when I was little was the one about Aladdin, with its intense plot, fiery characters and wonderful oriental spirit. So, when I went to the casino games menu and saw “Aladdin’s Wishes” the first thing I thought was: “Can this game live up to its name?” After playing it for quite a while I can tell you this: it most definitely can.

RTG brought to us this 5-reel, 20-line progressive slot, vibrant with superb graphics and bright coloring. Instead of the usual poker symbols, this slot involves all Aladdin-themed characters – palace, monkey, sable, Genie, Yasmin, and, most importantly, the lamp and Aladdin himself. You can also count on a wild symbol, a multiplier, a scatter symbol, as well as some cool free spins to make your play more enjoyable.

The coin value ranges from $0,01 to $5, and you bet with one coin per line, which means that you may spend as much as $100 per spin. Also, make sure you are always on the watch for the big jackpot win, as that one may strike you at the end of each game.

Wild symbol:

As it should be, Aladdin represents the wild symbol of this slot. You can get it only on reels 2, 3, and 4, and it substitutes for any other symbol in the game, except the scatter symbol. In case a winning combination is formed with its help, the winnings derived from it are doubled.

Scatter symbol:

Another thing that makes this slot so great is the scatter symbol in form of a lamp. If you’re lucky enough to get three or more of these anywhere on the reels, you’ll have a chance to multiply your bet, or even receive free spins. How does it work? Those scatter symbols trigger a bonus round in which you can pick between five lamps. The number of picks available equals the number of scatter symbols you had. The lamps include bonuses of 2, 5, 10, 25, and 100 times the initial bet, and one of them, the Magic Lamp, hides 25 free spins. During the free spins, all winnings are doubled. And what’s more, this great feature can be retriggered.

Progressive jackpot:

There is no rule as per when you may trigger the progressive jackpot. It is completely random, and it may happen at the closure of each spin. You’ll just find it added to your other winnings.

Additional options:

If you’re curious to find out what the ‘Options ‘ tab entails, you’ll find a number of preferences for initiation and cessation of Autoplay – a feature designed for those who are not too eager to click the ‘Spin’ button over and over again.
