A Review of the Blueprint Gaming Slot Genie Jackpots

When I was a child I was fascinated by the story of a Genie coming out of an old rusty lamp. Later when I grew up I realised that this is just an old tale and that one doesn’t just get rich magically. However, if you’re often away with the fairies dreaming of getting rich instantly, then I have good news for you. The Genie does exist, and it can appear to you if you play Genie Jackpots – Arabian fairy-tale themed slot which features a magnificent progressive jackpot. Winning this jackpot is the modern, real-life equivalent of getting the Genie out of the bottle.

OK, you can earn a lot of money playing Genie Jackpots, but basically that is true of every slot game, particularly of the progressive jackpots, so just giving you that information is not sufficient. Therefore, in this review, you can read pretty much everything about Genie Jackpots, including which company developed it, what is the bottom and top limit on the amount that you can wager, what is the RTP, what symbols does it feature, and of course how much money can you potentially win on it.

Basic Info – 20 Paylines, 20p Minimum Bet

Genie Jackpots Slot is a progressive jackpot game developed by Ash Gaming which is one of the most prolific and renowned branches of one of the most successful online software development companies- Playtech. On the screen, you will see 5 reels and 3 rows and there are twenty paylines. You’ll need a coin to activate each line, which means 20 coins. The value of the coins may also vary, starting from only 1p and up to £25, so a bet can be 20p and up to £500. The game can be played at numerous online casinos, for real money and also for fun.

In terms of graphics and gaming experience, the game is quite simple and straightforward with solid graphics and a nice short animated sequence at the beginning. The spin button is in the form of a lamp and whenever a bonus feature is opened there are exciting short animated motions. There’s even a monkey jumping on magic carpets, a part of the game which I found very amusing. All the symbols connected to the theme, even the letters of the standard symbols are in an arabesque style. The background music and the sounds, in general, are a perfect combination of oriental and modern.

Cards, Thematic Symbols, Wilds and RTP

When it comes to the symbols, we can divide them into thematic symbols and classic, regular symbols. The thematic symbols – two crossed Scimitars, a magic Lamp, the Genie Jackpots Castle symbol and a Turban – are valued more, whereas the regular card symbols – 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace – are of lower value. In addition, there’s a Wild monkey and five of these symbols stacked on one reel give the non-progressive jackpot which is worth 500 times your original wager. Furthermore, there are bonus symbols which appear on specific reels and trigger bonuses. You need to get at least 3 symbols (2 for Wild symbol and Genie Jackpots) connected in the pattern set by a payline in order to win anything.

Genie Jackpots Slot by Blueprint Gaming

For example, 3 10s will only give you 4 times the value you wagered per payline, as will 3 Jacks and 3 Queens, but 3 Castles will give you 50. In this game, 0.02% of each wager is placed in the reserve pot, which becomes the main pot when someone wins the progressive jackpot. An independent testing company has checked the software of Genie Jackpots slot and established that the RTP is 96.54%, which is quite alright.

3 Wishes Power Spin, Magic Carpet and Mystery Win

Now we come to the thing that I really love about this game and that’s the bonus features. The 3 Wishes Power Spin is triggered randomly and may be activated at any point of the game. When it is activated you can choose from three different Lamps. Depending on which lamp you choose you will be awarded one of the three bonuses. First, there’s the Genie Wilds and Re-spin bonus, where you get random wild symbols all over the reels and a re-spin. Then with the Genie Wilds All Wins Doubled you also get random wild symbols and the winnings are double. With the Infectious Monkey Wilds, you get a monkey symbol that once on the reels, spreads over to other fields.

The last feature of the 3 Wishes is a Guaranteed Bonus Game, in which as the name suggests you are awarded one of the regular bonuses – Magic Carpet or Mystery Win. With bonus symbols on reels 3 and 1 and a Magic Carpet Bonus symbol on reel five, you can get a payout of up to one thousand times your wager. With the Mystery Win Bonus, you enter the Genie’s Cave where you can get a prize of up to 100 times your wager.

Mobile Genie Jackpots

A mobile version of Genie Jackpots is also available. Recently this became a trend, almost a rule in the online gaming world – if a slot is popular on PC, then a mobile version will be developed. The reasons are more than obvious. The mobile version was developed by the same software house as the desktop version – Blueprint Gaming – which is a UK company based in Newark, part of the Gauselmann Group which is based in Germany. I have to say that they did a pretty good job with the mobile version of Genie Jackpots since it is up to the level of quality of the PC version. The mobile game features the same symbols, the same bonuses, including the 3 Wishes Power Spin and the Magic Carpet and Mystery Win Bonus. Playing the mobile version also qualifies you for the progressive jackpot.

A Chance to Have Fun and Win a Lot of Money

Genie Jackpots is an exciting and very enjoyable online slot game. What drew me towards it is the number of winning opportunities that it offers. So many chances of winning a decent, or a more than a decent amount of money. I mean, who can remain untouched after hearing about Kristian from Hemel Hempstead (Hertfordshire) who won an astonishing amount of over £1.35 million. And the game is quite pleasant too, the music is very relaxing and appropriate, the graphics are quite good. All in all, I couldn’t find anything that would be considered a flaw.

Jackpots and Other Thematic Slots

As I already mentioned, you can win a progressive jackpot at Genie Jackpots, and sure £1 million is a lot of money. But there are progressive jackpots that offer a lot greater prizes. For example, a bloke from Cheshire earned more than £13m on Microgaming’s Mega Moolah. If one million is impressive, 13 is at least 13 times more impressive. There are slots which have modern themes, like South Park Slot, based on the eponymous popular American animated series. Speaking of iconic series, there’s a slot which is based on Game of Thrones. That sure does sound fun, right?!
