Aladdin's Lamp (Cryptologic)

Aladdin's Lamp was one of the first online slots to offer a bonus feature when it was released in 2000. It was also one of the first ever slots to allow you to bet between one and five coins per line or any combination that you choose. Today the graphics look slightly dated although the game play is still first class.

The game has five lines. Three aligned horizontally and two diagonal lines. In a twist from the usual winning combinations can start from the left or the right - this adds a tremendous amount of ways to win every spin. In total there are 35 different winning combos plus of course the additional bonus screen game.

The symbols revolve around the theme of Aladdin with icons such as cobras, swords, vases and genie bottles. Top jackpot of 5,000 coins is won when you hit five green cobras on any active line. The next highest win is 2500 coins for five swords and the next highest is 1000 coins for either four cobras or five vases.

Overall there are a good amount of mid level pays to keep you going in the hunt for the top prize. Speaking of prizes, the amount you win obviously depends on how much you are betting. With Aladdin's Lamp you can choose to bet in coin sizes starting at a penny and up to five dollars.

The bonus screen game is activated by hitting two or more genies aligned left to right on any pay line. The screen then changes to a scene with two genies, five vases and a cobra ( View Second Screen ). At this point you get to select one of the vases by clicking on it. You are then awarded your bonus game prize and returned to the reels. In our testing the bonus game hit quite frequently.

One point to note is that while you can bet up to five coins per line you can easily have just as much fun betting one per line. This means you can be playing Aladdin's Lamp for as little as five cents per game. If however you have a big budget or are feeling lucky you can bet as much as $125 per spin.
