Genie's Fortune Slot
If you love tales of the Arabian Nights, and Aladdin type adventures that come with wish-granting genies and sexy belly dancers, then it's time to seek the Genie's Fortune.
This five reel slot and 30 pay-line slot from Betsoft will certainly grant plenty of any slot player's wishes, as it offers cutting-edge graphics and fun animations, themed icons that pay decent prizes, Wild Flying Carpets, Free Spins, and the best Genie Bonus this side of Arabia.
Your Wishes Are Granted
This game has lots of highlights, but the Genie Bonus is definitely the most magical. Find 3 or more Lamp Icons to trigger the Bonus, and then click the Genie's lamp to release him from his slumber. The Genie can then offer you 6 possible wishes: Long Life, Wisdom, Travel, Everlasting Love, Fame and Wealth. You can choose up to 3 wishes in each Bonus Round, but choose wisely as each will offer you a different mystery prize.
Wild Ride
The Wild Flying Carpets will take you on a wild ride, and lining-up all 5 of them on a pay-line will win you 2,500 coins. However, spin-in a Flying Carpet on reel 1 and it will fly right and across all the reels, revealing 4 Bonus Pay-outs as it does so.
Your adventures may also lead you to discover a series of Scattered slot symbol Treasure Chests, and these are the Free Spins Icons. Lots of treasure awaits if you can see 3 or more Treasure Chests on the reels with 3 triggering 5 free spins, 4 triggering 10 free spins, and 5 triggering 20 free spins.
Monkeying Around
This just wouldn't be an Aladdin-style adventure without a monkey to keep you company, but your monkey isn't anywhere near as annoying as Abu. Indeed, when he appears in the centre reel position on reel-3, he will allow you to click any of the adjacent reel positions to reveal another Bonus Prize in the Click Me Crazy Bonus.
The prize icons are also all worth lining-up, and 3 to 5 matching icons will award a prize. There's up to 200 coins for snake baskets and, whilst these are the lowest paying symbol, the winning animation is great fun. There's also you some king-sized rubies to collect at up to 600 coins, whilst crystal balls will award 800 coins. You certainly won't get the hump when you see 5 camels at 1,600 coins, whilst sexy belly dancers that pay you up to 2,000 coins must be high on anyone's wish-list.
Even with so much on offer, this isn't a slot that has to cost much to play, though high-rollers are accommodated with a maximum bet option of 300 coins a spin. Those who like lower spin-stakes can choose to play 1 to 30 paylines, and bet 1 to 10 coins on each of those lines, meaning you can play from just 1 coin per spin.
Betsoft’s mission statement says their aim is to produce games of astounding quality by using cutting-edge innovation, and it’s hard to argue that they haven’t achieved that with Genie’s Fortune. Graphics are great, animations entertaining, and prizes more than decent, whilst the Click Me Crazy, Free Spins, Wild Carpets rides and the Genie Bonus all showcase plenty of innovation and provide loads of fun – and I’ll be seeking my Genie’s Fortune again very soon!
