The Arabian Nights is a collection of folk tales from the Golden Age of Islam that has become popular all over the world since its first English translation in 1706. It includes characters like Aladdin, Ali Baba and Sinbad the Sailor that have become household names. But more than that Arabian Nights has become synonymous with a fantasy land of magic and intrigue with iconic emblems. Online casino software providers have exploited this imagery in some exciting video slot games.

Aladdin's Wishes is based on Aladdin and the Magic Lamp. The main characters from the tale play an important role in the video slot from Realtime Gaming. Aladdin is the wild symbol. He appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4, but doubles payouts when substituting to make winning combinations. Jasmine, Aladdin’s girlfriend, awards the highest line payouts. The magic lamp, around which the tale of betrayal and retribution revolves, triggers the Aladdin's Wishes feature when three or more symbols appear scattered from left to right or right to left. Five lamps are displayed on the second screen and you get to pick as many as the number of scatters in the trigger. If you reveal the magic lamp then you are awarded 25 free spins at doubled payouts. Otherwise you win up to 100 times the triggering bet. The other thematic symbols are the genie of the lamp, Aladdin's monkey, magic carpet, palace, scimitar, gold bag and ewer. Aladdin's Wishes also offers the Realtime Gaming randomly triggered progressive jackpot.

Aladdin’s Legacy is another Arabian Nights themed video slot that is live at InterCasino. It is not specifically based on any of the tales, but loosely combines the fantasy ambience. The visuals are more realistic. In the introductory clip the evil man arrives on a magic carpet and pays a bag of gold for the map that gives the location of the magic lamp in a secret cave. The game then loads with some entertaining belly dance music. The magic carpet is the wild symbol and also awards the highest line payouts. The other thematic symbols are Arab man, oasis, Arab woman, scrolls and shop. The magic lamp is the scatter symbol and triggers the free spins. These are played with a different set of symbols consisting of precious stones. The secret entrance to the cave is the scatter symbol in the free spins and it triggers a bonus game on the second screen. If you pick the right gems then you will gain entrance to the Treasure Room bonus.
