Arabian Tales - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

The imagery may be familiar, but the graphics and features of Arabian Tales ensure that this stunning addition to the library of Rival Gaming slots will enthral you in its own unique way. The 5 reels and 50 paylines create a simple, easy-to-follow format but the Expanding Wilds and free spins, both with multiplier, add an exciting depth.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

The sands of the Middle East are full of a rich mythology, some of it stretching back thousands of years. It’s also popular on the reels, as you’ll know if you’ve played the exciting Arabian Spins slot. In Arabian Tales the imagery recalls that of Aladdin, perhaps the most famous story to appear in the story collection known as 1001 Nights, or Arabian Nights. There’s a genie, or djinn, a magical creature capable of granting wishes, there’s the lamp where he is imprisoned, only to be released when someone rubs its surface, there’s a flying carpet to carry you over the desert.

These are the symbols of this slot and they’re set against an equally iconic Arabian backdrop. Transparent reels reveal a palace at the centre of the game, its domed roofs instantly recognisable as Middle Eastern architecture. It sits upon the rolling sands and under a sky gleaming with countless stars. A banner hangs overhead and a Middle Eastern soundtrack plays, all part of an immersive environment drawn in startling vivid detail, each hue bold despite the night-time setting, each spin accompanied by an animated shower of coloured sparks.

Arabian Tales RTP and Variance

If 96% is the average you look for in RTP then the 94.93% of Arabian Tales may seem a little disappointing, but it’s not a huge gap. You should always bear in mind that RTP is only a guideline based on the long term average, and actual results can vary pretty wildly between individual spins. There’s no official variance information.

How to Play Arabian Tales

Rub the lamp and make your wish:

1. Start under the reels on the left. There’s an info button that will take you straight to the paytable and game rules. That will give you the most in-depth guide to the game.
2. Under the info button is a speech bubble that opens livechat, where you can ask customer service for extra help if you’re logged in.
3. Next to that is the settings button. Enable all sounds, or background sounds specifically, or slide the master volume from 1 to 10. You can also choose to play the game in slow, medium or fast mode, or open another help page with more game rules.
4. Back on the main screen, that bottom left corner also has an on/off sound button and a question mark to go back to the help page.
5. As you move right across the screen there are 3 adjustors with up and down arrows that you’ll want to set to your preferred level before you start playing. They are value, coins and lines.
6. Alternately, you can hit the button which says max bet, which is stuck to the edge of the spin button. You current bet is displayed above it and line win below.
7. Stuck on the other side of the spin button is auto. Rather than spinning the reels just once, you can set them to turn up to 100 times automatically, though you cannot include your win and loss limits.
8. The win display is just above auto. Your current balance is displayed at the right of the screen, with a cashier button to adjust it or switch to real money play. When establishing your balance, always remember your budget. Hard limits are the best way to keep the game fun and you in control. With that in mind, you’re ready to spin!

Arabian Tales Review

No-one can argue with the vivid atmosphere created by this slot, or the excitement added by the free spins and Expanding Wilds, both with their own multipliers. It’s an easily navigated, easy to play game with plenty of thrills and lots of winning potential. Travel themed slots can take you around the world, but they can’t all take you somewhere as exciting as Arabian Tales.
