Genie Jackpots Slot Review

The Genie Jackpots slot does not impress with any distinct tech capabilities or limits. It's a simple-looking 5x3 video slot, with a progressive jackpot. It has 20 paylines, and players are not allowed to increase or decrease the number of active paylines. Besides, bet manipulation is made easy, thanks to Blueprint Gaming's user-friendly interface. Although you cannot set the number of coins per line, or change the coin value like with NetEnt’s slots, you can still bet between 0.20 and 100 per single spin.

Genie Jackpots’ Autoplay feature is hidden in plain sight! That said, the button is almost identical to the Spin button, and many players might be unaware of the Autoplay button, or where it is. It’s located just above the big Spin button. You can spin the reels between 10 and 100 times automatically. The Autoplay can stop on a jackpot win, or if you breach the Win/Loss thresholds you set.

The Genie Jackpots paytable can be pretty confusing, mainly because of the weird triggers. Nevertheless, we discuss them in great detail below in this Genie Jackpots slot review.

We can omit the fact that Genie Jackpots is a progressive jackpot slot. It has an RTP of 92.09%, but this excludes the promotional jackpot contributions. That's significantly lower than the RTP of regular video slots, ones without a progressive jackpot. Either way, players seem to like Genie Jackpots slot mainly because of the progressive jackpot.

Considering it's a 2015 slot, we expected more in terms of design, including video and audio. Granted, the graphics are still clean and smooth, but they are nowhere near detailed. It's simply not a visual or auditory pleasing video slot. And probably the worst flaw is that the music stops when the reels stop. In short, the experience is not seamless. However, the symbols are carefully crafted, designed, to match the middle eastern "mystical" setting. Of course, the Lamp is part of the high paying symbols, including the swords and the Sultan's Hat. The Genie Jackpot symbol is what you want to see most of on the screen, following the Wild symbol. However, hitting the Genie Jackpot symbol does not win you the jackpot. You earn it via the 3 Wishes Power Spins bonus features.

Speaking of symbols, here's how much a 5 of a kind of the high paying ones pays:

• Wild – 500x
• Genie Jackpot – 400x
• Lamp – 250x
• Swords – 250x
• Hat – 300x

It becomes complicated with the variety of bonus features available in the Genie Jackpots progressive slot. It took us a long time to dissect all of these, and to trigger them at least once, to see how they work, and whether they are good bonus games. You can learn more about the Genie Jackpots bonus games in the next section.

We already mentioned that Genie Jackpots slot’s key advantage is the progressive jackpot. However, although not as attractive as the jackpot prize, it also comes with a couple of other bonus features. Now, this isn't uncommon, as we have bonus games in different progressive jackpots like Mega Fortune and Mega Moolah, but they are simple. And again, don't worry if you find it challenging to understand the Genie Jackpots bonus games, even we had a tough time figuring them out.

The 3 Wishes Power Spin can trigger randomly during any spin. This means that the Genie can show up on the reels without any particular sequence of symbols occurring. Three lamps appear, and clicking on one of them will reveal your prize. The thing is, if you get to this point, you will win something.

The Genie Wilds is, in essence, just an extra free spin. However, it also turns one position into a wild. It's not the most rewarding bonus game of the 3, and we consider it just a filler. Then again, something is better than nothing.

Besides getting a position turned into a Genie Wild, it also doubles all wins. It’s better than the Genie Wilds Respin, but it all depends on the location of this Wild. Ideally, reel 2 or 4, cause they maximise the win potential. It’s either going to be a 4/5 symbol win, or there are going to be multiple winning lines.

The 3^rd and the most rewarding feature you can win from the 3 Wishes Power Spin is the Infectious Monkey Wilds. The monkey jumps and turns the neighbouring symbols in Wild symbols. Now, this has huge potential. However, kind of unfortunate that we cannot choose the game, instead it's random.

The Magic Carpet Bonus is triggered with 3 bonus symbols. However, that's the easy part. Technically, that's two bonus symbols and the Magic Carpet Bonus symbol. The hard part is revealing the Advance as many times as possible. You will end the game if you reveal a Collect. If you are fortunate enough to reach the Big Money, you have a guaranteed payout of 1000 times your bet. Now, this is huge!

It is kind of similar to the Magic Carpet Bonus, in terms that you are revealing symbols, and as long as you reveal the Genie, you will win additional prizes. Revealing Collect, ends the game. Is it rewarding? There's too much RNG involved, and it's highly unlikely that you will win as many prizes, as with the Guaranteed Payout in the Magic Carpet Bonus game.

Revealing the Progressive Symbol in the 3 Wish Power Spins wins the jackpot. We prefer jackpot slots that award the prize randomly on any spin in the base game. Bonus games make winning the jackpot virtually impossible. However, they are rather rare.

Also, you can win the progressive jackpot with any bet value. This is an advantage over progressive slots that mandate max bet to qualify for the progressive jackpot.

Genie Jackpots is a progressive jackpot slot, meaning it has the upper hand against most other regular video slots. However, it's also very content heavy, in terms of bonus games. They confused us, which made our Genie Jackpots slot review quite time-consuming. Nevertheless, you can play Genie Jackpots for free at most online casinos. The Genie Jackpots demo mode is an excellent chance to see if the game is right for you! Although it's obvious, playing Genie Jackpots for free will not qualify you for the progressive jackpot.
