The Genie Returns in 1001 Mystery Genie Fortunes from Play’n GO

A powerful new slot sees Play’n GO revisit the world of Alador, Yasmine, and their enigmatic ally in 1001 Mystery Genie Fortunes. But peace in the Kingdom doesn’t mean all is as it seems…
After overthrowing the villainous Zafar, the realm enjoys tranquillity under the rule of Sultan Alador. However, the Genie who helped secure victory has vanished into the Oasis – and whispers tell of a chest brimming with unpredictable power. This 5-reel, 20-line slot invites players to explore what secrets lie within.
This game intertwines layered gameplay with narrative twists. Mystery Symbols can reveal Magic Lamps that call forth the Genie herself, transforming into Expanding Wilds that trigger re-spins. Re-spin streaks can ramp up to 30 in a single session, with multiplier wilds climbing to x5. Free Spins bring more magic with Bonus Locks and Key mechanics that offer dynamic Instant Prizes, while the elusive Mystery Chest can surprise at any moment with payouts up to x1001 the total bet.
1001 Mystery Genie Fortunes continues Play’n GO’s affinity for richly developed universes, previously explored in titles like Ghost of Dead and Scroll of Seth as well as the previous title Mystery Genie Fortunes of the Lamp. With its vibrant visuals, smart feature integration, and evolving multiplier mechanics, this slot builds on the brand’s strengths while casting a new spell over players.
George Olekszy, Head of Game Retention, said: “The Genie is back – and he’s hiding more than just tricks up her sleeve. With Mystery Symbols, expanding multipliers and streak re-spins, this is one of our most dynamic titles yet.”
