Slot Review: Aladdin’s Lamp

We’re willing to bet that most people are at least peripherally familiar with the story of Aladdin. This “street rat” from the bad side of his Arabian town happens upon a lamp with a genie inside. The genie grants him three wishes, and changes his life forever. Aladdin gained some major name recognition value with the Disney movie named after him. Featuring famous comedian Robin Williams as the voice of the benevolent Genie, this movie was a sanitized version of the much-grittier original tale. The Aladdin’s Lamp online slot game from Cryptologic doesn’t have the charm of the animated musical, nor the exotic thrill of the source material. With a puny jackpot, sub-par graphics, and a definite lack of things that make one want to replay this slot game over and over, we’re not sure how many folks will consider their wishes granted.

Aladdin’s Lamp is a five-reel, five-payline slot game. Coin values range from one penny to one dollar. Max coins is set at five. The jackpot is only five thousand coins, which means that, given the best case scenario, you’re only walking away with five thousand bucks. We’re not against titles that offer only small top prizes in exchange for frequent hits, but the other detractors from Aladdin’s Lamp tarnished our overall opinion.

The genie, a magic carpet, a snake, and some items of treasure appear on the reels. If you collect several icons of the genie, you will be taken to a bonus game in which you can pick from several lamps surrounding a snake charmer in the hopes that it will contain a large bonus amount.
