Arabian Nights by Net Entertainment is thematically sound if a bit generic. Everyone is somewhat familiar with the Arabian Nights theme, if not the Arabian Nights story altogether. Even if you’ve never read the story, you should be familiar with titles like the Prince of Persia video games or the Aladdin film from Disney.

That’s the theme present in this game full of fezzes, saifs or Arabic swords, Arabic numerals (naturally), camels, genies, and the like. The 5-reel, 10-payline progressive slot involves spinning the reels at the chosen bet and getting combinations or matching symbols together on the available paylines to win your bet.

Gameplay

In order to start your Arabian Adventure, you should adjust your bet first. Press the spin button to start the game. In regards to the max bet, you can spin the reels at the maximum wager, which in this game means getting max coins per line for all paylines.

Through the Autoplay mode, you play the game multiple times without interruption. The Scatter is Aladdin’s Lamp and the Wild is the Prince. When 5-of-a-kind Princes appear on the reels, you get 10,000 coins as the standard jackpot. It’s higher when it’s the progressive jackpot.

Arabian Nights Bonus Rounds

Arabian Nights by NetEnt lacks a traditional bonus game but does have the usual collection of bonus features such as a progressive jackpot, Wild symbol, Scatter symbol, Multipliers, Free Spins, and the Autoplay option where you automatically set the number of spins.

When three or more Scatters appear on the reels, you’ll get 15 Free Spins. The spins will get re-triggered when 3 or more scatters spin into view during the Free Spins bonus round. The wins you can get while free-spinning comes with a 3x multiplier.

Pros and Cons

In regards to the game’s detriments, you have the same range in the minimum-to-maximum coins per line (1 coin) and the minimum-to-maximum coin size (0.5). You don’t have any other options, which limit your gameplay options and winning size compared to more varied slots.

It also has an RTP of 95.6%, which is below the usual 96% to 97% rate. On the other hand, it’s definitely a plus that the jackpot is a progressive one wherein it just gets bigger and bigger the longer you aren’t able to win it, which entices you to keep on playing until you finally win.

Verdict

Although the Arabian theme is mostly window dressing and the gameplay is basic, Arabian Nights by NetEnt gets a pass from us mostly because of the complete game mechanics and the presence of a generous progressive jackpot.

The gameplay is decent if standard but the graphics and design for the drawings leave much to be desired. It’s no instant classic that mesmerizes in both function and design, but it plays decently enough and its jackpot generosity makes it a must-play for slot enthusiasts everywhere.
