Theme – medieval Arabian

The Arabian Nights slot has a medieval Arabian theme and is set in the Islamic times of the 9^th to the 13^th centuries. Released way back in 2005, the visuals are rather basic and reminiscent of a land-based casino slot. Set against a starry night with Arabic temples in the backdrop, the game is loosely based on the One Thousand and One Nights folk tales.

With the reels encase by gold, symbols include low-value K, Q, J, 10 and 9 royals. You will also see camels, berets, Fez hats, tents, slippers and curved swords. The sword symbol is the most lucrative giving you 0.2, 2.5, 12.5 or 200 x stake for 2, 3, 4 or 5 in combination.

The Aladdin character is the wild symbol and substitutes for all symbols bar the scatter. Any winning combination with the wild is doubled, excluding wins with only wilds. 2, 3 or 4 wilds will result in a 1, 20 or 250 x stake win.

Arabian Nights Mobile

Despite being an old game, you can enjoy Arabian Nights on desktop, mobile and tablet devices as NetEnt has revamped the slot using HTML5 technology.

Arabian Nights Bonus Features

The Arabian Nights slot comes with 2 bonus features. The free spins will give you up to 30 free spins with a 3 x multiplier. Involve a genie wild symbol in a win and the multiplier effectively doubles to 6 x. The other is the Jackpot feature which is rather straightforward but hard to trigger.

Free Spins feature

Look out for the Aladdin’s lamp symbol as this is the scatter. Landing 2, 3, 4 or 5 will give you a 2, 5, 20 or 500 x stake payout. Landing 3 or more scatters anywhere on the reels will trigger the Free Spins feature.

The feature then begins with 15 free spins with all wins trebled awarded (3x multiplier). If you land another 3 or more scatters during the feature, you will retrigger it to give you 15 additional free spins. This will take your total to 30. The extra free spins won’t be subject to the 3x multiplier though.

A win with a wild symbol will double your payout. Combine this with the feature’s 3 x multiplier and you can benefit from a 6 x multiplier. If you were to fill the reels with curved sword symbols including wilds, the 6 x multiplier would result in a 12,000 x stake win. That’s high for a progressive jackpot slot.

Jackpot feature

The Arabian Nights slot focused mainly on the Jackpot feature. As touched on above, most online casinos will offer the progressive jackpot version where the jackpot is at its biggest. There’s also the pooled jackpot version which can be found at specific casinos or casino groups.

To trigger the Jackpot feature and win the progressive jackpot, you need to land 5 wild symbols on a payline. With the progressive jackpot being won every 147 days on average, the average payout is approximately just over £1 million.

The largest-ever Arabian Nights jackpot was €3,332,981 which was won in March 2014 (approximately just over £3 million). You can see the current progressive jackpot in the Arabian Nights demo version above.

Arabian Nights Review Summary – simple jackpot action

The Arabian Nights jackpot slot has been around for a very long time. Despite the outdated graphics and simple bonus features, it has a charm about it and is popular due to the big wins possible from the Free Spins feature.

Whilst the odds of winning a progressive jackpot are very small, Arabian Nights has created many millionaires over the years. Add in the potential 12,000 x stake win from each free spin and you could see why it’s still one of the most played jackpot slots online. If you want more progressive jackpots, Mega Fortune and Hall of Gods (also by NetEnt) are highly recommended.
