This 5 reel and 15 payline slot from Playtech is aptly called Wild Wishes.
Although it is not mentioned in the game, the theme is very reminiscent of the
Disney classic ‘Aladdin’. The game is set in the Middle East with a Taj Mahal
type building dominating the background.
The characters are very similar to Aladdin, Jasmine, the Genie and the Evil
Magician from the Disney movie. Other symbols on the reels include a Cobra in a
basket and a set of Cutlasses.
The Free Spins round in Wild Wishes is available to play when you
land a winning spin. There are 5 lamps on the top of the reels and when you land
a winning spin the left-most lamp will light up and you receive a free re-spin.
If you land another win, the next lamp lights up and another free spin is
awarded. This cycle continues until you land 4 wins in a row, where you are
awarded 7 free spins. 5 winning spins awards the maximum amount of 50 free
spins.
The Magic Lamp Feature is only active during the Free
Spins Rounds. The mystical blue genie comes out of the golden lamp in a cloud of
blue smoke. The smoke disperses and you notice that he has covered several
standard symbol positions and turned them into additional Wilds. During the Free
Spins, the Wilds also appear on all 5 reels as opposed to just 1, 3 and 5 as in
the base game.
This feature gives you the option to keep the first lamp always
lit up. All you need to do is press the ‘Feature’ button at the bottom of the
reels to activate it. This feature costs you an extra 40% of your bet but the
winning potential is worth it as you will receive a free re-spin for every win
and there are less lamps to light up to receive the maximum free spin amount.
Wild Wishes has all the fun and excitement that game with this kind of narrative
should. Before you can join in, in all the thrills and suspense you’ll have to
place your bets.
This is done by selecting which paylines you wish to activate
and betting per payline. Pressing the spin button will get the ball rolling and
if you are one of those players who prefer to sit back and relax then the
auto-play function will help you out.
The Wild symbol in Wild Wishes is the symbol of the Blue
Genie. It appears on reels 1, 3 and 5 and during the Free Spins Round it

slot games. It is clear that great care and effort has been put into the overall
design of the game, making it a beautiful Arabian-themed slot game.
The features may take a little while to get used to, especially for novice

enjoy their unique aspects.
