Golden Lamp Slots
May your wildest wishes come true with Golden Lamp, a slot machine from BF Games software which is themed on the age-old story of Aladdin and his magic lamp. The 5-reel video slot has 10 paylines and a medium volatility level to ensure a steady winning rate of wins as the reels spin.
Players of the game may be looking for some big bonus action, and they will come across a round of free spins with expanding wilds if they are lucky enough. Unfortunately, however the gameplay doesn't get much more exciting than that, with no bonus side games to elaborate on the narrative aspects of the slot machine.
The Legend of Aladdin
Many people know Aladdin from the popular 1992 Disney animation but the story goes back way before that. In fact, there is no definite source for the ancient folktale of Aladdin and his magic lamp, with some scholars unsure as to whether the original story was even set in the Arabic or Persian world. Some people even believe that Aladdin was Chinese, which is not the way the cartoon film depicted the story!
This slot machine by BF Games software defies those scholars by setting its reels in a Middle Eastern setting, with a background that depicts a remarkably stunning palace as seen from a balcony that is abundant with golden coins, plush pillows and verdant plant life. The reels themselves are quite spectacular too, with a series of playing card symbols (hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades) depicted within ornate stone engravings in various colors. Other notable symbols include some of the characters and objects that are often associated with the story of Aladdin, such as a magic flying carpet, Aladdin, a beautiful princess and the golden lamp itself!
Riches of the Orient
This online slot machine offers 10 paylines, which is a fairly low amount for a 5-reel video slot. Nevertheless, the gameplay is quite rewarding with a medium volatility level that keeps the wins ticking over at a steady pace. The paytable reflects this with a range of wins on offer, from 5x line bet multipliers for finding three of the lower paying icons to a 5,000x line bet multiplier whenever five matching Aladdin characters appear on a payline. The middle-value symbols also offer up some decent wins with a 750x line bet prize when five line up.
All of the paylines in the game are permanently fixed, meaning that spinners simply have to decide how much they want to wager as a total bet. The smallest possible bet is set at 0.10 credits (0.01 per line) while the maximum possible overall stake is 50.00 credits (5.00 per line). As such, there is a chance for the highest rollers to achieve a 25,000 coin jackpot when they spin Golden Lamp. If that's not a wish come true then we don't know what is!
Bonus Bounty
Rub the Golden Lamp of this slot machine and you could be in for some bonus wins! That is because the lamp icon acts as a scatter symbol, three of which in any reel position will activate a round of 10 free spins. During these free games, the reels will feature an extra scatter symbol that also acts as an expanding wild, meaning that it will offer prizes regardless of payline position whilst also substituting for other icons on the reels to complete winning combinations.
Should spinners still be unhappy with the size of the prize, they will be able to double it with a 50/50 gamble side game. Simply guess correctly the color of the card to double your money. Beware, though, since a wrong guess will result in the forfeit of the wins from the previous spin.
Plenty of Eastern Delights
The slot machine scene is fascinated with ancient and exotic cultures, no more so than the ancient Arabic world of riches. Did you know that the medieval Arabic world made huge advancements that contribute to modern mathematics? Who knows, without them we might not have such things as slot machines today!
Similar slot machines with a Middle-Eastern theme include the progressive jackpot slot Arabian Nights by Netent and Eastern Delights by Playson. Punters can even get a taste of the contemporary wealth and power of the region with The Emirate by Endorphina.
And the Moral of the Story is...
Golden Lamp by BF Games takes punters on a journey to the ancient orient with its take on the popular tale of Aladdin. Admittedly, the game doesn't go to great lengths to tell much of the story outside of the main symbols and base game spins. Then again, the medium volatility slot is more about offering the chance to win some handsome jackpots than it is about narrative satisfaction!
