Genie Wishes Slot Review

How can people in movies and TV mess up the wishes that Genies grant them?
I mean it's simple – we've all thought about it since childhood – just wish for unlimited wishes!
BUT NO! Invariably they wish for something which just ends up further compounding their problems and the second wish is used to clean up the mess. The third wish is the curse of Hollywood – used solely in the script as a tool to demonstrate that the flawed character has become a better human being. Normally it will be a wish to benefit others.
Sweet, but hello – in the real world is that ever gonna happen???
Trust me – after a few wishes, I would be lounging in a champagne bath with Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone.
Back to the review: Genie Wishes is a video slot created by Booming which is designed to grant your gambling wishes on P.C, mobile device or tablet. This is a sweeping, bold slot which was tantalizing from the start and thrust me into an Arabian Night filled with mystery and adventure.

Gameplay

Genie Wishes has a fairly high degree of volatility with 5 reels and only 10 paylines. The 9-Ace card icons are joined by the genies lamp, a princess, treasure chest, shoes and crown. The princess is the wild and can replace everything except the scatter which is genies lamp.
The controls look great but don't really fit in with the theme. Up top are View Pays, Balance, Bet, Turbo, and Info. Down below we find Bet Per Line, Lines, Win, Spin, Auto, Bet Max and Gamble.

Features

-Every time you have a winning spin in regular play you have the chance to Gamble your profits with a double or nothing bet which revolves around picking one of two gems.
-3 or more scatters gets you 10 Free Spins which are re-triggerable.

Unique Features

Genie Wishes has a “wild reel”, which is reel 4. On this reel, all symbols will always be wild, apart from one possible scatter symbol.
This is a innovative feature to have throughout the entire game, and I was suitably impressed.

Performance

Genie Wishes was pure magic performance-wise, gliding through on all platforms. The graphics and animation are excellent; as are the sound effects. BUT, what's really spectacular is the music. And believe me, it's rare for me to compliment music in a game, but this fusion of orchestral and middle eastern sounds made the entire environment richer.

Conclusion

If a slot has a theme that really works and combines it with some great player rewards, then it's a winner. Genie Wishes does just that and more, creating a vivid atmosphere and while not having tons of features, has an incredible”wild reel” and some superb re-triggerable Free Spins.
There's no doubt that I would prefer a real Genie who could grant me Jennifer and Emma, but failing that, Genie Wishes is a great diversion.
