Aladdin's Destiny

Concluding that Aladdin’s Destiny from 1x2gaming is based on the The Arabian Nights Entertainments should not be a difficult leap. The game was released in 2015, runs on flash, and is easy to play.

Theme

If you are after fancy animations and special effects, Aladdin’s Destiny will fall short of your expectations. Visually, it is best described as cartoonish, but don’t expect a Disney take. It is a slot with straightforward graphics - nothing too elaborate, or flashy.

Yet, it remains faithful to the theme: symbols are stylized just as they should be and the soundtrack gets the message across. The plot? Stop Jafar* from obtaining certain artifacts (see below).
In terms of genuineness, Aladdin’s Destiny is one of the rare gems among the myriad of lifeless slots.

Betting Options and Other Functions

Aladdin’s Destiny is a 5-reel, 50-payline video slot. The betting range is from $0.01 to $1, with one coin per line only. Only the coin size can be adjusted; otherwise you must bet on all 50 paylines, so take note.

The symbols include the expected array of characters: princess Jasmine, the Genie, Genie’s lamp, magic carpet, temple, and the titular character himself. The usual royal suit (Islamic calligraphy-styled) also circulates prominently. Special symbols are the abovementioned artifacts, which come in the form of four different magic gems (yellow, orange, blue, and pink). These are awarded in addition to any cash prizes and may trigger the bonus feature.

Slot Features

Being inspired by a fairy tale, Aladdin’s Destiny must conjure some magic mumbo jumbo, right? Well, it does! What’s more, these happen to be some pretty unique features:

The three special symbols are Aladdin, princess Jasmine, and the Genie. Namely, you need line only two of those to score a win. (All other winning combinations come in threes).

Then, there is the Gem Meter. Four of them (one for each gem type), to be more precise, and they are located just below the reels. Any gem appearing will fill its respective meter. Once a meter has been filled, the bonus feature will be activated, as follows:

• A full reel of blue gems (reel 4) awards 10 free spins;
• A full reel of orange gems (reel 3) awards 15 free spins;
• A full reel of pink gems (reel 2) awards 20 free spins;
• A full reel of yellow gems (reel 1) awards 25 free spins.

Compound multiples appear during the bonus round: the carpet pays as a 2x multiplier and the temple - as a 3x multiplier. The latter also acts as the wild (only for the duration of the feature).

Finally, there is the Genie bet. Located immediately below the reels (to the left), this button will “summon” Aladdin’s faithful monkey to set the bet for you.

*What about the evil (over)lord Jafar? He makes an appearance occasionally, and will try to steal your gems. So, watch out! The slot has him renamed to Lord Jaffarcake, by the way.

Our Take

Fair and square: we love this slot! True, it doesn’t feature any spectacular extras or heart-throbbing visuals, but hey! Old-school classics do have a way of warming one’s heart. Give it a go when you get a chance!
