10000 Wishes Slot Machine – Free Play & Review

One of the most common themes that the Arabic slot category has, is the wish-granting genie, coming from a lamp where the creature has been trapped for thousands of years. You get three wishes typically, but here they call it 10,000 wishes, mostly because that’s the kind of return the slot can deliver. There will be an image of the desert for the background image, along with a selection of symbols that somewhat support the story.

Those symbols revolve around images of the Wheel, the Wild logo, Magic Lamp, Treasure Chest, Book, Bottles, Pendant, the four card suit symbols, and a pink circle/dot.

Developer

The company behind 10000 Wishes is called Alchemy Gaming, but they collaborated with Microgaming for this slot machine. It’s been turned into an exclusive at Microgaming casinos, the way a lot of other slots were in the last few years.

How To Play It

A total of 9 bet values are listed, on a special screen that allows you to select a quick bet. Values range from $0.20 to $25, to be used on each spin. If you go for the Advanced Bet option, then you can go as low as $0.10 with the round’s wager.

A Power Mode option can be activated, where you spend 25x more per spin (up to $625). In exchange, you get to play with Power Spins all the time.

What the game gives you in exchange, is a setup with 5×3 reels, where you will discover 10 active lines. Get the combinations forming left to right, via 3+ matching symbols, to get paid.

Special Features

The feature triggers come in two variants, a wild and a scatter.

First, let’s check out the Wild symbol, shown with its own logo, against a gold and purple background. Use it as part of new winning combinations, either its own (pays 4x to 100x the stake), or in others, where it can act as a substitute. It’s not a replacement for a Wheel scatter.

The other one is the Wheel, very difficult to miss, as a symbol that will pay well when it lands enough times, while also triggering Power Spins. 3+ Wheels will get you paid 2x to 200x the stake.

For this Power Spin, the game replaces the middle three reels, with a single giant reel, where you get symbols sized at 3×3. You either get Giant Wheel symbols, or high value icons, to land in that giant zone.

As for the reels 1 and 5, that’s where you’re going to get a single high value symbol, randomly selected. If you can match the random symbol with the giant symbol on the middle reels, you can form combinations on up to 10 lines.

At this point, if you can get a Giant Wheel to be fully visible on the middle reels, the Wheel Bonus triggers and spins for you. A prize will be paid there, and it could go as high as 10,000x the stake (hence the 10,000 Wishes title).

Power Spins can be paid for, 25x the stake being the amount required for each such round you want to get through.

Maximum Payouts

The game’s rewards are good, especially the top one, worth 10,000x the stake. It’s coming from a slot machine whose volatility is medium, so I love the potential in its case. RTP looks just right, at 96.27%, so there is nothing to worry about there either.

Summary

10000 Wishes allows its players to not risk as much as in other slots, and still be able to go after a big top jackpot. It’s a good combination, the graphics are not bad, and the list of special features is not too common either.
