Ali Baba's Luck Megaways

You might have not even seen the original online slot by Red Tiger's partner Max Win Gaming when they decided to release another version of it, the Megaways version!

The online game is inspired by 1001 Arabian Nights story, featuring amazing adventure, love and wonders across the 6-reeled grid!

Embark on a journey into the mystical world of the legendary thief for a highly volatile adventure that offers features such as Free Spins and Expanding Symbols that can help you grab a maximum potential win of 20336x the total bet!

Theme and Symbols

When it comes to theme and design of this Arabian-themed online release, you have probably learned so far that you will not be disappointed with its looks, as each and every title that features this theme looks spotless.

Besides, they also boast an amazing Arabian style soundtrack accompanying the adventure perfectly!

However, the visuals do not stray from the original, except for the zoomed out camera that takes in more of the pinky, purple, pastel-coloured room. 

In the background, the room shows the oil barrels, while two purple curtains are gathered on both sides, revealing a big balcony and the clouded sky in the distance.

The reels are, of course, lined in gold, while on them you will see various, detailed symbols, including playing card symbols from 10 to A, a sapphire ring, a gold and green vase, Ali Baba's servant Morgiana, and Ali Baba himself.

The game does not have a Wild symbol, but it boasts Scatters – represented by treasure chests.

Betting Options and Other Functions

This innovative online release comes with high volatility, while the best payout comes with a below-average percentage of 95.05%, but, more importantly...

...the game comes with a maximum of 15625 ways to win!

The action is played across a 6-reel layout with varying numbers of rows going from 2 to 5.

But, before you start spinning, you should set your bets that start at 0.2$ and go only up to 4$ per spin, which is disappointingly low and may make some punters refuse to try this online game out. 

Nevertheless, there is a pretty good maximum payout of 20336x your total stake, which may make them change their minds!

When it comes to symbols, the most rewarding standard symbol is the Ali Baba, paying up to 25x your total stake, while, on the lower side, we get familiar A-10 royals.

Special Features

As you may assume, core to the gameplay is the Megaways engine with its dynamic reels.

Here, however, there is not an Avalanche feature as it usually is the case.

Before each spin, the game engine will select a random number of two to five symbols for each reel, giving from 64 to 15625 ways to win.

The same as with the original online release, both the base game and the bonus round will feature Expanding symbols.

On the top of the reels, you will notice a bar displaying all of the pay symbols. Whenever there is a win, its respective place on the bar will light up, and they become special golden expanding symbols for the next spin.

When three of these golden symbols land, they will expand to cover the whole reel, moreover, they do not need to be adjacent to win.

Now, pay attention to the Scatter symbol, as by landing at least three of them anywhere across the reels, you will trigger the Free Spins feature, called the Lucky Round!

When that occurs, you will get to spin a bonus wheel that will give you from 4 to 16 extra spins.

Plus, should you land another three Scatters, you will get an additional 4 free spins!

Lastly, all golden symbols you get will stay that way until the end of the feature. 

Verdict

Max Win Gaming team has created a perfect mix of the two of their online release, taking the theme and design from the Ali Baba's Luck online slot, and Megaways gameplay (read about it here) from their Leprechauns Magic Megaways!

Overall, it is a pretty decent online game, and even though it has quite a disappointing bet range, it boasts a massive payout potential of 20336x the stake!
