Slot Review: Aladdin’s Lamp

It’s hard to believe that seventeen years has passed since Disney’s classic film, Aladdin, hit theaters. The animated version of one of the best known Arabian Nights legends is instantly recognizable among most audiences in the Western Hemisphere for its blockbuster music, great humor, and warm moral at the center of the tale. Don’t expect the charm of Disney’s “diamond in the rough” tale of a street-rat from Agrabah from this online slot machine game. Aladdin’s Lamp is a perfectly ordinary slot title, albeit with not much “oomph” to distinguish it from the spate of other similarly-themed games out there.

Aladdin’s Lamp is a five-reel, five-payline slot title by Gamesys. Coin values start at twenty cents and range upwards to one dollar. Max coins is set at five, or one coin per payline allowed. That means that you can bet as much as five dollars per spin – a very reasonable amount. The jackpot is two thousand coins, or two thousand dollars on a max bet. Not quite a genie’s ransom in treasure, but a very nice prize still!

The gameplay of Aladdin’s Lamp is quite simple. Don’t expect any wild symbols, scatter prizes, multipliers, or interactive bonus games with this pokey. In fact, this online slot is entirely free of either bells or whistles. The graphics – which include Aladdin, the genie, and a trio of dancing harem girls in veils – are serviceable, but not exceptional. That’s actually how we would sum up out overall perception of the Aladdin’s Lamp title in a nutshell: serviceable, but not exceptional.
