1001 Arabian Nights Slot Review & Free Play

1001 Arabian Nights: Spin and Win Up to 8,575 Different Ways!

Inspired’s 1001 Arabian Nights brings the age-old story to life with a detailed world where heroes and princesses battle against the evil wizard. The game isn’t all about its looks either, it has cascading reels, a massive grid with thousands of paylines, and four different jackpots to be won in a bonus game. 

The core gameplay loop here is fixed to a 5x5 grid with 3 additional reels on top and bottom of the main grid. This diamond-shaped grid is also complemented by the slot’s medium volatility and up to 8,575 paylines. From my experience in the game, the slot is designed to lean into the cascading reels for profit as most symbol pays only got me between 0.20x to 2.40x returns. 

Successful cascades can really take these smaller winning combinations into a whole new direction as I experienced wins between 3.90x to 20.50x my bet in a few instances. However, I should also mention that landing symbol combinations can be harder than it looks in the game and despite the massive reels, it took me around 3 to 6 spins on average to land a symbol combination. 

Naturally, I was quite excited to try out the gamble mini-game at this time as it felt like a natural inclusion to a game like this. The mini-game can be turned on easily as it is available on the left of the reels and once activated, lets you gamble for a 2x win or 6 free spins. 

Personally, the gamble mini-game wasn’t super helpful to me in my quest to make a profit. Lowering the win multiplier available got me higher chances of winning but it didn’t get me any significant wins that would make it worth playing more than once or twice. 

On the other hand, the Win & Spin bonus was super hard to trigger but also came with some serious profits on the line. The bonus acts like a Hold and Win mini-game where you have 3 spins to land money symbols and jackpots and with each symbol landed, you reset the number of spins back to 3. 

When I triggered it, I was also able to trigger two lamps on the top and bottom reels which got me a few extra paying symbols and a mini and a minor jackpot trigger. These two features helped me win an incredible 73x which was the biggest win I made throughout my playthrough of the game.
