Mystery of the Lamp Secret Bazaar: Wander the Bazaar and Let the Genie Grant Your Wishes

A blue-haired genie watches over the reels of Mystery of the Lamp Secret Bazaar, IGT's Arabian hold-and-win take on a five-by-three grid with just 5 paylines.

The magic carpet wild powers a base-game multiplier up to 16x, and three gem types load three lamp jars on the side. Cracking a jar opens the bonus with up to three features running at the same time, and five jackpot tiers up to 1,875x.

My main game was mostly flat, as if enchanted to produce wins around 1x my bet over and over again. The one highlight came when a row of spice jars chained with a wild on reel 4 and pushed me to a 7x return.

There's a multiplier mechanic that pushed two wins a bit higher. It triggers at random when a wild lands, every wild on the grid then carries a 2x multiplier, and a wild on a winning line doubles that line. My two wins came in at 2.4x and 2.8x my bet, both from single wilds.

Now, the bonus is where the magic of this bazaar peaks. You collect three gem types in the base game, and each flies up to its own lamp jar. Red feeds Ignite, blue feeds Collect, and white feeds the Jackpot. Crack one, and that feature runs in the bonus. Crack more, and they stack. The bonus opens on 15 or 30 covered reels with gold coins locking as they land.

Again, as enchanted, I cracked the Ignite jar twice this session, which meant two separate bonus rounds with the genie doing the same trick each time. She'd float onto the screen, point a finger at a locked coin, and pour extra value onto it for the next spin. The first round ended at 20x my bet. The second one, the genie was in a more generous mood, and the coins kept stacking until I closed out at 50x my bet.

Overall, I knew from the first spin that I'd be immersed, but it was almost creepy how some things happened on loop. Still, I had a good time, and I'm intrigued enough to visit Mystery of the Lamp Secret Bazaar again and chase the bonuses that slipped my grip this time.
