Right after it was acquired by IGT for €160 million ($163.5 million), leading content aggregator and supplier of casino games iSoftBet announced the launch of Rise of the Genie, a 3-reel slot with the mystical theme at the center. The game follows the release of similarly exciting titles like Merlin’s Revenge Megaways, Tens or Better, Brilliant Diamonds: Hold & Win, or Aztec Gold Mines.

Rise of the Genie Strays From iSoftBet’s Regular Style

The company’s head of games Mark Claxton explained the new game is straying from the developer’s “usual style of games.” The slot introduces an “exciting new theme with a unique risk and reward system” that makes the gameplay even more exciting. Players are asked to “hold their nerves” and keep adding more pots to their collection so they can grab more riches at the end of the game. The catch is the evil Genie will do everything in its power to stop that from happening. 

Rise of the Genie is the freshest addition to the developer’s impressive games portfolio recently enriched with titles like Merlin’s Revenge Megaways, Tens or Better, and Brilliant Diamonds: Hold & Win. 

Game Symbols and Unique Features

The game features ladders where players can visualize their current winnings along with the prizes attached to each successful combo they land. Depending on the symbols forming a winning combo, each winning spin will make one of the three existing Cash Pots pop up on the reels. Landing Magic Lamp symbols will fill up the largest Cash Pot located on the mid-reels. Landing Book symbols will make the mid-sized Cash Pot appear while landing a winning combo with Star symbols will fill in the smallest Cash Pot.

The dedicated Collect button allows players to redeem their winnings at any random moment in time. As mentioned earlier, players are also given the chance to hold their breath and wait for the rewards to grow even more. Reaching the top of the Cash Pot ladder automatically triggers Instant Pays. At the same time, the remaining Cash Pots are ready to bring even more wins to players.

Provided the evil Genie is seen climbing the ladder at any time during the game, all progress is ruined and all Cash Pots are emptied, forcing players to go back to the bottom of the ladder.
