Arabian Tales

The ancient Arabian/genie theme has been quite popular ever since the early days of online slots. So any time a company develops another one of these slots, they run the risk of being cliché. Thankfully, this isn't the case with Rival Gaming's Arabian Tales slots because it puts a new spin (pun intended) on the genre. The feeling is that of a more-intense Aladdin, while the graphics and music really create a sense of uniqueness here. Now that we've covered the theme, let's move on to the symbols, betting options and special features.

Symbols and Betting

There's a nice mix of standard and unusual symbols for this genre, including a magic book, sacred dagger, magic carpet, saber-wielding man, snake-carrying woman, king, tiger, genie lamp and the genie.

The king is the jackpot symbol, and you'll earn 2,500 coins if you land five kings in a payline. The tiger is the scatter symbol, and it multiplies wins by 2x (2 symbols), 5x (3 symbols), 25x (4 symbols) and 50x (5 symbols).

As for betting options, you can change the coin size from $0.01-$0.25, select 1-50 paylines and put anywhere from 1-10 coins on each payline. The 50 paylines are actually quite a lot for a Rival slots game.

Arabian Tales Features

When you fire this game up, you'll be shown a cool introduction that shows all the main characters and gives you a feel for the theme.

Beyond this, there's also a free spins round and an expanding wild feature. Free spins are unlocked when you get 3 genies (12 spins), 4 genies (25 spins) or 5 genies (50 spins) anywhere on the reels. Keep in mind that all free spins have a 3x multiplier.

The genie lamp is the expanding wild, and this will replace any other symbol to form a winning combination when possible. It also expands to fill the whole reel when it's possible to form new wins (not including scatters). As you can see, there's not a lot in the features category here, but it's still nice to earn free spins and expanding wilds when possible.

Grant your Wishes with Arabian Tales

This game isn't really about the special features, or rather lack thereof, but instead the rich graphics, interesting characters and realistic background sounds. Many other slots developers have made similar genie/Arabian-themed games, but few measure up to the quality of Arabian Tales slots. So if you like Aladdin and other films like this, then we certainly suggest that you try out Arabian Tales.
