Genie (Joker123): carpets, cobras and a stake from 0.20 to 500.00

Genie on Joker123 is credited to Red Tiger Gaming, and the character at its centre is the studio's Crazy Genie. The setting is the old Arabian Nights tale of Aladdin, so most people will recognise the cast before the first spin.

What's on the Genie reels

The layout is 5 reels and 20 paylines. The symbols come straight from the story:

• a magic carpet
• a cobra
• a curved sword
• the genie himself, grinning and slightly unhinged

Twenty lines is a middle-of-the-road count. You get a reasonable number of ways for symbols to line up without the stake per line getting too thin.

The Genie bet range

This is where the game is most flexible. Bets start at 0.20 per spin and go all the way up to 500.00. That spread means the same game works for a few low-cost test spins and for much larger stakes.

The wide range cuts both ways. A few taps on the bet button can move you from the bottom of the scale to a stake many times higher, so glance at the total bet before each session rather than assuming it's where you left it.

Playing Genie sensibly

Start at or near 0.20 and watch how the game behaves for a while: how often lines hit and how big the typical win is compared with your stake. Only move up if your budget can handle a long run of losing spins at the new level, because slots always carry a house edge.

You can play Genie on Joker123 once the app is set up, and the Joker123 platform overview covers the rest of the lobby.
