Arabian Nights is the English title for the One Thousand and One Nights collection of Middle Eastern folk tale stories, and it actually dates all the way back to 1706. This includes legendary titles that all of you will remember from childhood cartoons and movies including Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves as well as Aladdin and many others.
Arabian Nights Jackpot The Wild in Arabian Nights presents itself as an Arabian Prince, though not as attractive as Aladdin in the Wild Disney film, who replaces all other symbols in the game while increasing the odds. Besides that, profits coming from combinations involving a Wild.
The Arabian Nights slot machine from NetEnt gives you the opportunity to rub the Genie’s lamp for big wins in the base game and free spins mode - and possibly even change your life as it boasts a life changing progressive jackpot.
Once you click the spin button sounds ring out that will remind you of fruit machines with gears revolving in the background, but once you land a winning combination an upbeat mystical celebratory tune (with drumbeats and tambourines recognisable) plays out instead which really brings a magical feeling – but just how does it stack up against the Arabian Charms slot machine from Barcrest and the many other Arabian-themed slot machines that are available online?
NetEnt are renowned for developing slots with five reels and that is no different with the Arabian Nights slot machine, however rather than the usual twenty paylines there are only ten. Combine this with a fixed coin value of 50p and it becomes apparent that no rich stakes are required here – in fact high rollers amongst you will be severely disappointed at the maximum stake available. There is a fixed bet level and while the paylines can be adjusted from betting one to ten coins per spin, it must be recommended that you play all paylines in order to have a much better chance of winning – the last thing you want is the jackpot combination landing on the reels but you never bet that payline!
I love the design of the symbols in Arabian Nights slot machine, with a colourful and sophisticated cartoon style, and there are a total of twelve that you’ll encounter as the reels fall in place.
The standout symbol is the Arabian Prince who acts as the Wild symbol and winning combinations that he features in see their total doubled – which is always a pleasant moment. The most rewarding moment of all arrives when five of the Arabian Prince symbols land on a single payline. This results in the progressive jackpot being awarded – which ranges from a seed amount of £125,000 and is often worth several million!
The iconic golden Genie’s lamp is the Scatter symbol which pays out the total bet amount multiplied by the multiplier and this is required for the free spins feature. In addition to these symbols you’ll also see a scimitar (Arabian sword), magical slippers, a tent, Genie’s hat, camel, and King to 9 playing card symbols – don’t ask me why no Ace has been included, weird!
Aside from the progressive jackpot, the free spins mode is the only bonus feature included in Arabian Nights. In order to access it you’ll first need to acquire three or more Scatter symbols (golden Genie lamp) anywhere on the reels. This feat sees you rewarded with a total of 15 free spins and as if these weren’t enough to accumulate some magical wins – all wins are tripled!
The incredible life-changing Super Jackpot will be the main reason you’ll want to play the Arabian Nights slot machine. As previously stated, this is won by landing five Arabian Prince symbols on a single payline while playing for the maximum bet of £5 (meaning all paylines are active). The amount you will win is stated above the reels, always increasing as it is a progressive, until someone wins it and then it is reset to its seed value of £125,000 again. The largest ever win on the Arabian Nights slot machine is €8,635,872 which was won at Paf Casino – though it is available at many online casinos.
Arabian Nights is a superb slot machine from NetEnt that can make your dreams a reality. Not only are the design and Arabian sounds fantastic in creating a magical atmosphere, the free spins mode is extremely rewarding – offering 15 spins that have a 3x multiplier attached.
It’s a shame there are no instant win or pick ‘em features to accompany the free spins mode, but the progressive jackpot certainly makes up for that. Aside from the Mega Fortune slot machine and the Hall of Gods slot machine, this is my ‘go to’ progressive slot in the NetEnt range of games!
