A Whole New World
The great thing about modern day video slot machines is that they will take you anywhere in the world. This slot machine takes its players to discover the ancient wonders of the Arabian peninsula, a harsh desert landscape which is credited as being the cradle of the Islam. The land is also one of the central settings for the brilliant collection of Middle Eastern folk tales known as One Thousand and One Nights, or Arabian Nights. As such, spinners of this Booming Games slot machine will be treated to the sight and sounds of the Arabian world with a touch of narrative magic that summons images associated with tall tales such as “Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp”. And indeed, this game does feature a golden lamp symbol, as well as some extravagant images of finely crafted boots, a chest full of treasure, a glistening diamond, and a luxurious crown – fit for an Arabian king.
There is also a wild symbol which is depicted by an Arabian princess and a magic flying carpet – which is perfect to help your betting balance soar since this icon will fill in the gaps between other images to complete winning paylines.
Sensory Experience
Visually speaking, this slot machine isn't the most impressive out there. In fact, the graphics are somewhat underwhelming in their 2D-form, which doesn't really do justice to the extravagant and luxurious nature of the theme. Plus, it seems as if the designers at Booming Games have tried to literally gloss over this by adding lots of sparkles and glistens, which kind of makes the whole thing look a bit tacky. However, the overall aesthetic is adequately colourful, which certainly makes it eye-catching, regardless of whether it sits well with your own personal taste. Plus, the slot machine does use some authentic Arabian style music to transport players away from their every day lives and into a world far far away.
Arabia by Booming Games is also ready to play on mobile platforms such as smartphones and tablets. As such, the slot machine comes with a few simple swipe commands which gives players easy access to the menu of options and the paytable. So, for example, a swipe of the finger to the right will show all of the payout values and the swipe to the left will offer up some wagering options as well as an autoplay tool.
The Riches of Arabia
When it comes to placing those all important bets, spinners simply have to choose how many paylines they wish to have in play and then what size of wager to lay down on each active line. Spinners can choose to play with anywhere between 1 solitary payline and all 10 paylines with line bet options which range from as little as 0.03 to 3.00 credits. So, there is plenty of room for bettors of with any betting strategy to play a small and conservative spin or go all out with a 30 credit total bet.
The bigger the bet, then the bigger the potential reward, especially when it comes to the games scatter icon. That is because the scattered genie lamp will pay total bet multipliers worth 2x, 10x, 20x, and 100x whenever two, three, four or five appear on the reels in any position. What's more, when three or more of these scatters show up, a round of bonus free spins will begin.
All other wins that this slot machine has to offer are calculated by multiplying the bets on the winning line only. The most lucrative winning combination therefore is finding five wild symbols upon an active payline to reward 3,000x the value of the stake per line. From there, it is a steep drop down to the next most lucrative symbols, the treasure chest and shoes which offer a line bet prize of 500x, followed by the diamond and crown icons which will pay up to 250x. After that, spinners will find some small but frequent wins ranging from 70x to 10x with card values such as A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9.
Wish Come True?
This Arabia slot machine is not the most impressive of games when it comes to visuals, titles like Eastern Delights do that better, nor will it blow you away with any unique bonus features. However, with mobile compatibility and an endearingly enchanting Middle Eastern theme, players are sure to get a few satisfying spins out of this slot before they find something more entertaining.
