Arabian Caravan Slots
Video slot games based on Middle Eastern fairy tales are not a rarity on the market, and almost every game developer has had at least one creation based on this theme.
Arabian Caravan is Genesis Gaming’s take on the popular theme. As always, you have to expect a lot of sand, characters wearing colourful and flowing garments and plenty of other Middle Eastern Stereotypes.
So what makes Arabian Caravan stand out from the crowd? You can read our full review of the game to find out more about its universe and its gameplay, and about how to put all chances on your side to win the jackpot.
1001 Nights All Over Again
Arabian Caravan is a cartoon adaptation of the 1001 Nights, Middle Eastern theme many players are always familiar with.
As such, the background shows a vast expanse of hot, dry desert with the reels floating above ground like a mirage. The colours are bright and overwhelmingly yellow and orange.
With a soundtrack to match the graphics and plenty of ornamental details carved onto the reels themselves, Arabian Caravan is rather pleasant to look at. The graphic quality is not the best you can find in a slot game, but the final result is nevertheless of decent quality.
Some Basic Rules for a Good Start
Arabian Caravan is played on a classic set of five spinning reels of symbols, three per reel at the end of every turn.
All the commands you need to customise the game are located at the bottom of the screen, right below the reels. No need to worry about paylines here, are there are none. Winning combinations of symbols appearing anywhere on screen will pay a corresponding cash prize. Which leaves you with many possibilities to win big. You only have to adjust your bet and coin size thanks to the (+) and (-) switches and you are good to go.
You might also want to go all-in with a single click, and the Bet Max button is there to let you do just that. Otherwise, adjust your settings manually and hit the Spin button once you feel ready. You winnings will be automatically added to your total credit balance.
Exotic Menu
Looking at the paytable of Arabian Caravan, you will notice that the reel symbols can be split into too rough groups.
The first group of symbols has low payouts and is constituted of card symbols, from number 9 to the Ace. They will appear frequently on the reels to compensate for their small rewards, so you will have many chances to win multiple combinations with them.
The last group of symbols is more interesting, both in terms of design and of cash rewards. Jars, Hookahs, Desert Palace, a Camel walking in the moonlight, a Sultan… The list goes on, and the rewards keep getting bigger as well. Our advice is to stay focused and aim at scoring as many winning combinations of these symbols as possible.
Bonus Games
To finish off, Arabian Caravan features a Bonus game for you to enjoy. Here is what you should be expecting.
Three of more Camel Scatters anywhere on screen initiate the Desert Jar Bonus. A separate screen with 15 jars will appear, your task is to select some to reveal either an oasis, a city or sand. The oasis yields a cash prize, while the sand will end the game and take you back to the reels. The city awards a large cash prize and let you move to the next level, with 15 new jars to choose from.
In addition to the Desert Jar Bonus, you will find a regular Wild symbol in the base game. This symbol is there to help you create some extra winning combinations by taking the place of any of the basic symbols listed in the previous section.
A Nice New Take on a Well-Known Theme
Arabian Caravan is not an original slot game per se, but it offers an original new take on the Middle Eastern fantasy theme. The base gameplay is classic enough, and the graphics are decent if not exceptional. If you have already played many slot games with a similar theme, you might not be drawn to Arabian Caravan right away.
But the real catch is probably the Desert Jar Bonus game. The prizes you can win there are more than generous, and the configuration of the game leaves you a real chance to actually win big at every turn. All you need is a little luck.
