There are certain themes that come up over and over in various forms of media like books, television shows and movies. Some of these themes make their way to online slots fairly often, and the theme of Genie's Touch is a good example. The story of Aladdin has been told in a lot of different ways, but his life as a thief isn't usually part of the story that gets much focus. In this game, however, things are a bit different.
Game Format
This slot uses five reels, three rows and 20 paylines. You get to choose your bet size based on your total wager per spin, and this eliminates a lot of the confusion that can sometimes come from having to select coin sizes, numbers of coins per spin, etc. Your betting range is $0.20 to $100 per spin, and you can divide each bet size by 20 to get your effective coin size. The minimum wager per spin of $0.20 corresponds to a coin size of $0.01, for example.
Wilds and Payout Schedule
The payouts in this game are based on the actual money prize that you'll win, and this can make them seem a bit smaller compared to other titles that use line bet-based payouts to make their prizes seem larger, so don't be fooled. We'll be listing the win sizes based on a $1 bet size, so you can see what all of the payouts are as a multiple of your total wager.
The wild symbol is golden in this game, and it is pretty important to the gameplay because it's available on every reel, and that means lots of extra payouts you wouldn't have otherwise received. A strong payout of $12.50 is good for five wilds on an active payline, and four will earn you $3.75. You can also pick up $1.25 for three.
Other Payouts
Aladdin himself is the top payout, and he'll get you $12.50 for five of a kind. His symbol is stylized in purple. The princess is up next in red, and she'll earn you a $10 win when you get five of her lined up on a reel. A win of $7.50 is yours for five of the man in green, and five of the man in blue with the white beard pays out $6.00.
Remember that these wins are based on the total bet size, and if you want the equivalent line bet-style payout, you can multiply them by 20. That would make the top payout 250x along those lines, for example.
Six gyms make up the lower pays. The orange and yellow gems pay $4.00 for five of a kind. Five of a kind in the purple, green, blue or clear gems pay $3.00. Something interesting about this game is that four of a kind always pays $1 for any gem, and three of a kind always pays $0.50 as well.
Magic Lamps and the Genie's Touch Feature
The magic lamp is scattered, and three or more will activate the Genie's Touch feature that the game is named by. For this feature, you'll have a random symbol selected, and it will replace all of the other symbols adjacent to the lamps. The symbol will automatically be chosen that gives you the largest total win, so you can end up with some pretty huge payouts thanks to this feature.
We want to point out that this is the first time we have ever seen this type of feature in an online slot, and that's saying something considering the hundreds of slots we have seen before.
Free Spins Bonus
If you pick up three or more of the bonus symbols on an activated payline, then you get a set of 10 free spins. To give you extra value, and to tie things into the Genie's Touch feature, you'll get extra magic lamp symbols added to the reels during the free spins. This is a very interesting way to add value that ties the game together as a whole.
Our Thoughts
Genie's Touch has a pretty flat and balanced pay table that offers up a relatively low volatility. The graphics are pretty good, and it feels cleaner than a lot of other games based on an Aladdin-type theme that tend to crowd the playing area for whatever reason. The Genie's Touch feature is pretty cool and atypical, and it adds a lot to the gameplay because of the opportunities to win such big payouts with it as well.
Overall, we think this is a pretty good slot, even though the gameplay can seem like it drags on a bit at times. This is largely because it doesn't have any features that really kick up the hit-rate like you normally see with games that have such a flat pay table.
