The Arabian Nights slot is simple at best

At worst, you might even say that it’s lacklustre. But then NetEnt released the Arabian Nights jackpot slot back in 2008, making it one of the oldest of its collection.

So you have to wonder how, despite its old-fashioned look, it still manages to remain one of their most popular online slot games.

The reasons are simple; here’s a casino jackpot slot machine that provides a huge payoff but, with its mid-variance reels, also has some decent in-game wins.

Basically, you can hope for big wins even without hitting that multi-million progressive jackpot prize.

Old fashioned, but not outdated

The Arabian Nights slot machine plays like many of the original land-based machines you’d be able to find on the casino floors of Vegas.

The 4 symbols and 5 of a-kind symbol wins can actually bring you rich rewards straight out of the cave of wonders. This is made all the more true by the fact that the wild symbol doubles any wins.

Suddenly you don’t have to wait for the free spins to get 20x, 30x or even 40x your bet.

Jackpot seeds at 125,000 but often triggers in the millions, with the record being 3.3 million in 2014

But needless to say, Arabian Nights is a bonus game slot. You might enjoy the base game, but the free spins are what you’ll be searching for.

3 Scatter lamps gives you x3 the wishes

3 or more golden lamp scatters anywhere on the screen give you 15 free spins.

However, this genie promises three wishes and gives you just that – but in the form of a 3x multiplier on all the wins.

Mostly you’ll walk away with anything from 20 times to 60 times your bet.

But every once in a while, the wild symbol will show up out of nowhere and provide you with what amounts to a 6x multiplier as it doubles the already tripled wins.

Get that on a 5-of-a-kind win, and you’ll be riding high on a flying carpet of joy.

How to win the Arabian Nights jackpot

We’ve already mentioned how much we loved the wild symbol, correct?

Well, there’s good news and bad news scenario.

The good news? You’ll love the wild even more when you realise that you need 5 symbols on any betting line to trigger a life-changing win.

The bad news? How often have you seen five wilds in a row? Exactly.

But then, progressive jackpot slots aren’t easy to win. If they were, then we’d all be millionaires living a life of luxury.

You have to bet max bet for a chance to win

Which, if you do the math, is five a spin. So this NetEnt slot is for big better jackpot hunters only, able to go that high. If you’re looking for smaller bets and a progressive jackpot then the Mega Fortune Dreams slot from the same provider is for you.

Because this isn’t the most forgiving of machines. Mostly it’s happy to give you back token wins to keep you spinning for longer.

But every once in a while, it gets as cold as a night in the Sahara dessert, with your money and hope swallowed in a vast emptiness of spins.

Enjoyable to play, even without the jackpot

We have to admit we don’t always play the Arabian Nights game for the jackpot.

Though we have to equally admit that when we do play, it tends to be on a second screen, without the sounds, whilst we maybe do something else online.

If you’ve been reading our Arabian Nights review, you’ve probably found that it’s not the most captivating of NetEnt games in the world in both graphics and sounds. The wild man’s shouts of ‘oooooh aaahh’ are just a little creepy, making you look over your shoulder for some sexual deviant in the room.

Still, when that jackpot gets to the 2 million mark, many a time, we can’t help ourselves and sing a few Hail Marys’ (praise Allah?) and spin for that life-changing win.

If you’re a fan of NetEnt jackpots then the Hall of Gods and Mega Fortune slot are both worth a look.
