Genies Gems slot machine

Coins and paylines

As stated, there are 5 paylines in Genies Gems . Bets start at 1.25, or 0.25 per line , and go up to 25, or 5 per line . As such, the game is unlikely to appeal to high rollers, who like to flash money and play for more than 75 per round.

The genie and the lamp in Genies Gems

There are nine symbols in Genies Gems, although none of them have special properties. That's right, there are no wild or scatter symbols in this slot machine , which will certainly bother some experienced players. That being said, Microgaming made up for the oversight by making sure the paytable is generous. Thus, you don't need free spins or wilds to win big – you just need to line up the corresponding symbols, starting with the leftmost reel.

Regular winnings, of course, are calculated by taking the number of coins won, multiplied by the number of coins played per payline. As such, the more you bet, the bigger the prize when you win a win.

The graphics are relatively simple, the symbols are two-dimensional and there is nothing scenic about the reel grid itself. The icons include playing card symbols – a 10, a jack, a queen and a king – as well as five symbols related to the theme . These include a golden magic lamp, an Arabic carpet, a minaret, a jewel and the genie himself, who, like all geniuses, sports a goatee, golden earrings and a purple turban.

As you may have guessed, the playing cards represent the lower value symbols. Card 10 is one of only two that grants payments for two matching symbols, although it is only a single credit. You will earn two credits for three 10s, 10 for four and 100 for five.

The next best is the valet, paying two for two , four for three, 20 for four and 200 for five. The queen pays four for three, 40 for four and 400 for five and the king grants five for three, 50 for four and 500 for five in line.

Among the thematic symbols, the minaret is the least lucrative , although he still pays 1,000 for five, 100 for four and 10 for three. The carpet pays 1,500 for five , 150 for four and 15 for three, while the golden lamp pays 2,500 for five, 250 for four and 25 for three.

At the top of the ladder is the genie and his blue gem . The payouts associated with the gem are excellent, including 50 credits for just three, 500 for four and a whopping 5,000 for five. Nothing can touch the genius, however. The big buddy pays 100 for three, 1,000 for four and the grand prize of 10,000 for five in a row.

Last words about Genies Gems

There is no way around it, Genies Gems is a dated video slot. If, like most, you like to play slot machines where it is possible to win free spins and use wilds to form winning combinations, it is unlikely that you will be tempted by the blue genius with a smug face.

However, if you just want to play a simple and hassle-free slot machine in the mold of the old machines, there is no harm in trying this one. The graphics are basic, but the payouts are quite generous overall. Hey, it's better than 99% of fruit-themed video slots, in other words!
