Fortunes of Ali Baba Video Slot by Play’n Go Is Already a Hit!
According to the article, when Play’n Go released Fortunes of Ali Baba online in February 2020, the new slot quickly drew attention at desktop and mobile casinos.
Inspired by a story familiar to many slot players, Fortunes of Ali Baba features 5 reels and 20 pay lines. Reported features include multipliers, free spins and a top win of 10,000x the spin bet.
Earlier Ali Baba slots were released by Cayetano Gaming, XIN Gaming and Red Rake in 2017, 2018, and 2019 respectively. In 2020, Play’n Go created its own take, drawing on the familiar Arabian treasure adventures associated with Ali Baba.
For this version, the studio drew inspiration from the ‘One Thousand and One Nights’ collection, bringing recognisable scenes from a celebrated Arabian Nights tale to a polished 3D slot. The presentation features animated action and story-based symbols, alongside a bonus game said to offer high payouts.
Scatter symbols on reels 1 and 5 can trigger a story sequence on the reels, with bonus cash as the stated reward. It follows Ali Baba, a poor woodcutter who discovers the Den of Thieves, also called the Cave of Thieves in storybooks and the animated movie Forty Thieves, based on ‘One Thousand and One Nights’.
The bonus shifts to a screen inside the Den of Thieves, where pots hold cash prizes or free spins. There are 5 stages to clear; choosing a pot with an instant prize advances the player to the next level.
Completing bonus level 1 banks 10x the total spin bet. In the next 4 levels, a pick may reveal free spins or another instant prize, while a thief may catch Ali Baba and end the round. Each stage offers the potential for a bigger award, from 10x to 100x the total bet.
The Den of Thieves feature combines free spins with the spin bet multipliers collected at each level; the article lists a maximum win of 10,000x the spin bet.
The Ali Baba slot had been available at Play’n Go casinos since 27 February. This historical release detail does not confirm current availability, particularly for Canadian players.
The game was described as having high volatility and an RTP of 96.89%. The article called it Play’n Go’s seventh slot of the decade, following Coywolf Cash, Wild Blood 2, Wildhound Derby, Riches of Robin, Leprechaun Goes Wild and Dawn of Egypt, which it said had also recently joined the provider’s casino line-up.
At the time, Play’n Go fans were also looking forward to Sticky Joker, a 3-reel slot with 5 pay lines, and Testament, a 5-reel game with 243-ways to 2,400-ways-to-win. The article expected both titles to arrive at Play’n Go casinos in March 2020.
The article also mentioned more video slot games expected from Play’n Go and other providers that year. Casino Ideal covers releases in its casino news section, but dates and availability in this historical article should not be taken as current listings.
