Genie Triple Wish!

Genie Triple Wish: Slot Overview

Developer Pragmatic Play is rubbing the proverbial lamp in Genie Triple Wish, an online slot with three pots and subsequently three different genies. Genies are famous for granting wishes, but whether this trio can turn a few spins into something magical relies in part on how many and how effectively the game can utilise its three modifiers. There are also coins to be collected, including jackpot coins, creating numerous ways for the wish-making to potentially go right. But just because you wish for something doesn't mean it's going to come true, so here's hoping Genie Triple Wish has more up its sleeve than empty promises and a puff of smoke.

Set against a lavish palace base game balcony overlooking sun-drenched forests and mountains, Genie Triple Wish has not just one genie, but three, forming a wish-granting tag-teaming trio. Pragmatic Play has painted an Arabian Nights-style picture, heavy on luxury, complete with velvet drapery, sparkling treasure chests, and a gold-filigree grid where its three feature linked pots can be found. The sun starts to set in the bonus round, and a load of treasure-laden pots are rolled out for motivation, or tantalisation, whatever the case may be. Visually, we're talking Aladdin-style fantasy, as genie slots often tend to be, and the colourful genie characters give admirers of this style a lavish setting to plant themselves in for some thought experiments as to what wishes they would ask for.

Genie Triple Wish is a payline game, and there are 25 of them on its 5x3 gaming area, going up to 50 when the bigger grid modifier is active. The theoretical RTP is 96.51% on the highest configuration, while the volatility has been tuned to a medium setting. Stakes of $/€0.10 to $/€250 are selectable, with a set of feature buys and an ante bet also available.

The pay symbols are J-A on the lower end, followed by carpets, lamps, green genies, blue genies, and pink genies. Landing 5 matching symbols in a winning combination pays 0.8x to 6x the stake. Genie Triple Wish does not land wild symbols in the base or bonus game.

Genie Triple Wish: Slot Features

The features to find in Genie Triple Wish are coin symbols, free spins with up to three modifiers, an ante bet and feature buys.

Coin Symbols

Coin symbol values are awarded when the coins land left to right on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel. Standard coins have a value of 0.2x to 30x the base bet. In fact, all coins except the Diamond have this value range. Green coins are collected in the green pot, blue coins in the blue pot, and pink coins in the red pot. Diamond coins only land on the rightmost reel, taking up two positions, bearing the 40x Mini, 100x Minor, 1,000x Major, or the 10,000x Grand prize.

The collection occurs at the end of the spin, and if free spins are triggered, one, two or three of the modifiers are triggered randomly. Green coins are linked to the Multiplier modifier, blue coins the extra spins modifier, and pink coins the Bigger Grid modifier. The free spins round is played with all of the modifiers it was triggered with.

Free Spins

If the bonus was triggered with one, two or three modifiers, 5, 8 or 10 free spins are awarded, respectively. If the Multiplier modifier is active, two position-sized green coin symbols can land on the rightmost reel with a random multiplier of x2 to x10. The multiplier applies to all coin value collections that reach the rightmost reel. If the Extra Spins modifier is active, two position sized blue coin symbols can land on the leftmost reel carrying +1, +2 or +3 free spins randomly, which are awarded. If the bigger grid modifier is active, the round is played on a 5x5 grid.

Coin symbols associated with modifiers that are not active can hit and are collected in their respective pots. When that happens, the modifiers can be randomly triggered for the rest of the round. During the round, pink, blue and green genie pay symbols that land when the Bigger Grid, Extra Spins and Multiplier modifiers, respectively, are active will transform into standard coin symbols with random values after paying winning combinations. If a single modifier is active and a second modifier is triggered, +3 free spins are awarded. If a single modifier is active and two other modifiers are triggered on the same free spin, +5 free spins are awarded. Lastly, if two modifiers are active and a third modifier is triggered, +2 free spins are awarded.

Special Bet & Feature Buys

Activating the ante bet costs 2.5x. When the ante bet is on, pink, blue and green genie pay symbols can randomly transform into pink, blue or green coin symbols after paying out for winning combinations. The chance to win the free spins feature is higher as well. Players are also able to buy free spins with 1, 2, or 3 features for 100x, 200x, or 300x the bet, respectively.

Genie Triple Wish: Slot Verdict

The crowded world of three-pot slots just got one bigger, and Genie Triple Wish has just about everything an enthusiast could want from this style of play. Well, not everyone. Gamblers who crave innovation in the area of features and themes may find Genie Triple Wish wanting. The game does look like a bunch of other genie slots, and the gameplay boils down to chasing coins and jackpots, with three modifiers augmenting their collection and values. Players who have spent time exploring other genie-themed slots are unlikely to be blown away by the presentation, although the colourful characters, rich palace backdrop, and treasure-filled bonus screen provide an attractive if formulaic environment for the action.

What sets Genie Triple Wish apart, to an extent, is the way coin values are awarded. Instead of having some sort of collecting symbol in view, a left-to-right run of coins is needed to bag their treasure. It's not the most original move, a similar idea having been used in, say, 4ThePlayer's 4 Fantastic Fish's Cash Ways concept where when coins land in a winning way from the leftmost reel, the coin values are yours. Also like 4 Fantastic Fish, the bigger, more desirable prizes only land on the rightmost reel, so you'll need coins left to right to get them. The same goes for multipliers in the Multiplier modifier free spins round, which aren't huge, but up to x10 isn't the worst modifier ever. The other two modifiers are okay, useful, nothing extraordinary, granting a larger grid or extra spins.

Outside the coin value award system, Genie Triple Wish is basically a standard 3-pot slot with jackpot prizes on top. The Grand prize equals the game's win cap, of 10,000x the bet, a respectable total that should please lamp rubbers. Genie Triple Wish is a competent addition to the three-pot genre, though not one that feels like a magical arrival. Those who enjoy this style should be pleased till the next one rolls around, while players who'd been wishing for something truly magical may have to keep on rubbing.
