3 Genie Wishes Slot Review

With so many Arabian Nights themed slots out there on the market, one would be forgiven for not jumping for joy for hearing about Pragmatic Play’s own take on the genre.

The 3 Genie Wishes slot is your typical run-of-the-mill slot in this genre, with genies, magic lamps, magic carpets and all the other customary imagery that goes along with the territory, included in the slot. 3 Genie Wishes isn’t a bad game to play, but it is rather samey.

If you’ve played something from Pragmatic Play before, or have tried out the countless other slots with the same theme, you will find that 3 Genie Wishes is a case of been there, done that.

Even so, it would unfair to slate this slot without giving it a proper test drive, so that is exactly what we have done. Can Pragmatic Play pull it off? Can 3 Genie Wishes impress? Let’s find out. Where better to start than the wagering range?

How to play

Designed complex and thematic wagering menus just isn’t Pragmatic Play’s style. As a result, the wagering menu that you see before you is a bit of a washout. Not only does it not look very good, it fails to allow players to adjust the paylines.

All 50 are fixed into place in this slot. Players can alter their coin values from $0.01 up to $0.50, and bet as many as 10 coins per line, but that’s about all.

Expect to be able to wager anything from a floor of $0.50 per spin, up to a ceiling of $250 per spin with this slot. That wagering range will appeal to all players, save for those operating on a shoestring budget.

Features

Wild symbols: Given the title of this slot, the genie was always going to be the wild symbol, wasn’t it? The genie wild can substitute for all other symbols in the game excluding scatters, and it can appear stacked on the reels of the slot.

Scatter icons: Scatters crop up as the magic lamp icon. These symbols are only capable of appearing on the second, third, and fourth reels of the game, but when they do they can trigger a free spins bonus round or instant cash prize. Players will also pocket a 1x multiplier against their total bet in the form of a scattered win.

Click and win bonus: Before you can play with free spins, you need to trigger them. Players can select from a treasure chest, a money bag, and a golden jar.

Two of these symbols will offer free spins, whilst one of them will simply offer an instant cash prize which is worth anything from 10x up to 50x your total stake.

Free spins bonus: Should you successfully trigger one of the two free spin features in the 3 Genie Wishes slot, you can get started right away. One option sees you able to play with 10 free spins and random wilds.

Those wilds crop up and the beginning of each spin in this bonus. The other option sees you play with just 6 free spins, although any wilds which do appear on the reels will remain sticky throughout the bonus. It is important to note that players are not going to get stacked wilds in either of these free spin features.

Maximum pay-outs

The wild symbol also doubles up as the top paying icon in 3 Genie Wishes. You will need to land 5 wilds on any payline in the game if you are going to come away with the non-progressive jackpot, which is pegged at 400 coins.

Summary

This is your basic run-of-the-mill, standard Arabian Nights themed slot. Sure, the graphics are nifty, and there are twin free spin features, but Pragmatic Play’s 3 Genie Wishes slot doesn’t really impress in terms of originality. We’ve seen it, played it, and won it all before.
