If you’ve ever enjoyed the quirky delights of Sheriff Gaming’s panto-themed slot, Alawin, based on the Aladdin story, you should get a kick out of slot developer Leander Games and their trip into the Arabian Nights, Ali Baba.
A 5 reel, 20 pay-line slot based on the medieval story of the leader of the 40 thieves on the hunt for hidden treasure, Ali Baba has plenty of Alawin’s humor and iconic arabesque symbols on the reels.
The treasure sack is the game’s Scatter. Ali Baba, meanwhile, is the biggest paying symbol, with five hitting a 2,500x line bet jackpot if you hit. Elsewhere on the reels there’s a camel, monkey, cobra, scarab beetle, dagger, flute and drum. The slave girl, Morgiana, meanwhile, is the Wild and she expands to fill the entire reel. She substitutes for all symbols other than the game’s bonus icons.
Three gold Bonus icons on reels 2, 3 and 4 trigger the ‘Gold or Bandit’ bonus round. Essentially a Pick Me Bonus type game, you get to pick six vases and win the contents inside. Keep picking until you hit a bandit and your turn ends, sending you back to the base game.
The other round is a free spins bonus feature, triggered by hitting three Free Spins symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5. This “Open Sesame” freebies round gives you an option first on how much you want your bonus to stand at, then you get to pick treasure chests to accumulate free spins and multipliers before the round begins. This is similar to Leander’s fantasy-themed slot, Dragon Slot, which offers a little more variety on the straight free spins feature. Play your cards right and you could get a juicy 7x multiplier on your wins.
Another winner from Leander, Ali Baba has some great graphics, neat features (I’m a sucker for Expanding Wilds) and neat twists on tried-and-trusted bonus rounds. Sheriff Gaming, start to worry!
