This Genie Jackpots Megaways slot is a 5 reel game that boasts anything from 64 to 15,625 win ways, and not one but 4 free spin bonus feature. But is it as magical as it sounds?
This Blueprint Gaming slot machine has licenced the Megaways pays from Big Time Gaming.
What does that mean to you? It means that fans of slots like Bonanza and Extra Chilli can enjoy a machine, create by another person, with different ways to win on each spin.
It can mean ridiculous wins of 10,000 times your bet, and it’s one of the many reasons why Megaways slots are so popular. But this is not really for beginners, so bear that in mind.
You can say many things about this Genie Jackpot slot, but what you can’t say is that it’s simple.
At any point you can randomly trigger one of four power spin features which adds extra bonus symbols, extra wilds, turns reels wilds, and a whole host of mystery symbols added on one spin.
The free spins are no less impressive, seeing as you then add sticky wins (like in the Jack Hammer or Barbershop slot) or sticky wilds (like in Sticky Bandits or Wild Swarm slot), or even mystery symbols and ever-increasing multipliers.
It’s like they’ve tried to take all the best of lots of different casino games in order to create something magical.
If you love bonus features, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better mobile phone game than the Genie Jackpots Megaways slot online.
The reason why we only gave it three stars is that after a while, all the features start to feel a little gimmicky, especially as the really good ones (namely the ones with the multipliers) come only once in a blue moon.
This is basically a high variance machine with lots of little wins, trying to distract you from the fact that you aren’t actually winning that much.
But you can’t deny that the big wins are here in this Megaways video slot, and there’s plenty of action to be found for those of us who love magic slot games.
However, one last piece of advice (if we may) – don’t spend 100 times your bet to buy the free spin bonus round.
We’ve tested it out multiple times, and getting more than about 70 times your bet in the bonus rounds is hard. So getting anything over 100 times your bet is much harder.
Thankfully you don’t have to wait long in the base game to trigger the bonuses anyway, so sticky to the old-fashioned random scatter way.

Wilds: The wild symbol is the genie himself, and can appear on reels 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 only.
How the Megaways work: Each reel can reveal up to 5 symbols in view. A win is basically when you match consecutive symbols, regardless of whether they stand 1 on 3 symbols high, from left to right. All winning combinations are added together and payouts are multiplied by the stake. The game tells you how many Megaways are active after each spin.
Power Spin: After any spin, the Genie can appear and award one of four random bonus features:
Scatters and free spins: 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatter symbols anywhere on the reels will trigger 10, 12, 15 or 20 free spins, respectively.
You'll first be taken to a cave of wonder where you'll trigger one of four possible options by random:
Genie Bonus Wish Bet: You basically pay 100x your bet to trigger at least a 3 scatter bonus round, where you'll get taken to the cave of wonder to randomly get your bonus game.
There's plenty to love in this Genie Jackpots Megaways mobile slot, especially if you love those Big Time Gaming Megaways slots.
But you can tell this was made by another provider as they throw everything they can find at this Android phone and tablet slot, and hope something sticks out that makes players love them.
And mostly it works, as long as you don't forget that this is a mid to high variance slot machine, so the little wins you get in the get don't get you that far. It's the multipliers and the megaways that will win you 10,000 times your bet.
All in all, this is for fans of bonus heavy games: if you like something a little simpler but still unique enough to surprise you, we'd recommend you try the Sidewinder slot by JFTW.
