Play Ali Baba Wishes for Free

It has to be said, before we move past the aesthetics of the piece, that this game is remarkably similar to 80’s Night Life. As odd as it sounds, the colour scheme is almost identical, so much so that for a moment we wondered if we’d loaded up the wrong title by mistake. When you think about it however, both designs utilise similar hues to convey the themes, and so while the similarity is striking, it makes perfect sense.

We’re actually a little disappointed that we can’t watch Alibaba boogie across the reels - that would be a sight that would go against every other Arabian themed slot machine out there. A missed opportunity we think. Nevermind, onwards to those bonuses.

It’s so hard to decide between two beautiful items. On one hand you can have more money than any other ruler of the land, but on the other you could be surrounded by a sea of precious gemstones. We’d like the chance to have both, oh wait, with Ali Baba Wishes we can, albeit with great difficulty.

Both bonuses are activated in the same way: needing between three and five matching symbols, however they both do contrasting things. The Treasure Bonus sees you help Alibaba to select which pots of gold and sacks of coin are the most beneficial to him. Sadly however, there’s one small snag - thieves are afoot and hiding inside these containers, so should you discover one the round will end and you’ll get no rewards.

As for the Jewel Bonus, you need to help Ali again, but for a different reason - this time round he has to make a combination out of three separate jewels, all in the hope of getting the best prize possible. Sometimes it works out well and he’ll get €5,000, but other times he’ll only receive €500.

We haven’t forgotten about the other features, as if we could; the wild can swoop on in and change up the tempo, removing all except the other special icons. Furthermore, it can bring with it a payout of 9,000 credits. It isn’t working alone though, for the scatter symbol has multipliers to bestow upon to you, some more considerable and farther reaching than others. And then there’s even more multipliers from the x2 and x4 icons, two tiles that need to only appear as part of a winning line.

Being able to play such a well-designed game like Ali Baba Wishes is an experience that every single gamer out should try at least once, though some users will have to be more persistent than others if they desire a game. We’re looking at the American and British people here, you guys can’t play this title if you’re at home. Bad luck, chaps.

Still, for a pay-in starting off at 0.01, there’s a lot of scope for big rewards, not to mention several chances to strike it lucky and experience all the bonus rounds. iSoftBet has spoilt its users with this game, both visually and technically speaking, and for that we can't thank them enough.
