Aladdin Got Old in Gold Oasis Slot
Aladdin was originally Chinese. There were also two genies in the original story and not just one. Aladdin was also not initially an orphan—he had a mother who was central to his introduction to the princess. Like with most stories, though, Disney thought it was too complicated and nuanced for American audiences, and thus, the simplified version was born.
Gold Oasis slot from Pragmatic Play certainly isn’t a more faithful retelling of the story, but it does take an interesting path.
The desert sands await
A round of the slot’s free spins feature is triggered with the appearance of three or more golden door bonus symbols on the reels. Once triggered, an initial allocation of five free spins will be awarded.
During a round of free spins, any golden door bonus symbol that appears will be added to the two-symbol meter above the reels. For every two instances of these symbols that you collect, you will unlock a round of the slot’s duel bonus feature. Once unlocked, two random symbols will appear, and the one that wins the duel will replace all other instances of that symbol for the entirety of your round of free spins. You will also receive additional free spins. The more times you unlock the duel bonus feature, the fewer number of unique symbols will appear on the reels, increasing your chances of hitting not just wins but big wins.
In the base game, the duel feature can be triggered randomly on any spin. Once it is, the winning duel symbol will replace two to ten instances of the losing symbol on the reels. Any win will then be awarded before the slot is reset. So, the feature isn’t quite as fun to trigger in the base game.
If you’re not keen on cleaning dust out of every nook and cranny, you can select to purchase a round of free spins. You can either purchase a standard round of free spins or a round of super free spins, which ensures that the higher-paying symbol wins every duel.
Is Gold Oasis slot worth its weight?
In the Mulan live-action, Disney removed Eddie Murphy’s Mushu character, and it just ripped the soul out of the story. When I first launched Gold Oasis slot, which appeared to be an Aladdin parody, I got Mulan live-action vibes when there was no sign of a Genie character. My worries were, however, soon dispelled. The slot doesn’t feel like it’s trying to be Aladdin. Instead, it’s trying to tell a story of the ancient Middle East with some fantastic graphics and some really interesting bonus features. The result is a well-rounded and engaging slot game.
The slot has high volatility, which means that the gameplay will lean towards rare big wins and not small, consistent wins. The 7,260x max multiplier allows you to play for up to €392,040 in winnings when you bet at €54 a spin. If you’d prefer to bet at the minimum, you’ll be betting at €0.20 a spin. The slot allows betting in both fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies. Golden Oasis slot has an RTP of 96.06%.
