The Great Genie

The Great Genie is a visually striking slot game developed by Playtech, set against the backdrop of an Arabian desert. The game features a 5×3 reel layout with 50 paylines, immersing players in a world of magic and mystery. The reels are set inside a purple tent, with the titular genie making appearances to grant various wishes and bonuses.

Symbols in the game include lower-paying card ranks (J, Q, K, A) styled with an Arabian flair, and higher-paying themed symbols such as golden handcuffs, daggers, treasure chests, green snakes, a king, and a queen. The Wild symbol is represented by a golden lamp with the text “Wild,” substituting for all paying symbols and offering payouts of 1x, 2x, or 5x for 3, 4, or 5 symbols respectively. The Scatter symbol features a pink background with “BONUS” text, triggering the Great Bonus Wheel when three or more appear.
