The Design

Alibaba Riches has stunning visual and sound performance and effects. The grid is set amid the desert with buildings seen from above. The sky is clear and blue with pinkish clouds. The grid is made of a massive stone structure, inside which appear all symbols in the form of stone blocks. On the top frame of the grid are carved the 5 magical lamps. One of them gets illuminated in gold after each consecutive cascade of wins. The symbols make sounds as they fall onto the reels. New blasts of symbols appear every spin.

Every win crushes the symbols that created it and new symbols fall to fill the empty positions. The images on the stone blocks are of the card royals in bright colours and detailed ornaments. There are thieves, Alibaba, the female character from the fairy tale in a blue dress and ornamented pieces of jewellery with gems and gold. The soundtrack is melodic and typical Arabic.

Alibaba Riches Gameplay

Alibaba Riches has 30 fixed pay-lines. The game rewards for combinations of 3, 4 or 5 symbols of the same kind landed left to right. There are 10 standard symbols – 5 low-paying of 5 cards and 5 premiums of jewellery and characters. When you form a winning combination, the symbols that created it get crashed. Then, new blocks fall from above filling the empty positions on the grid. The game uses the cascading paying system combined with fixed pay-lines.

The 10 and J cards pay equally – from 0.03 to 0.16 times your stake for 3 to 5 on a line landed from left to right. The Q, grants wins of 0.06, 0.16 and 0.50 times the stake, while the K and A return equally – 0.10, 0.3 and 1 times the stake.

The medium and premium symbols are the 3 jewellery items and 2 characters respectively. These 5 symbols can land as 2×2 and 3×3 Mega Blocks besides in normal 1×1 size on any of the reels. This can happen on any spin. The empty spaces that are created by a cascade are crushed by Mega Blocks, which fill the voids. During the base game, the 2×2 Mega Blocks get crashed when they take part in a win two times. The 3×3 Mega Blocks, on the other hand, can take part in a winning combination three times during the free spins.

The abundantly decorated valuables return 0.16, 0.66 and 1.66x and 0.33, 1.66 and 5x stake. One of the robbers is the second-best paying symbol that gives you 0.50, 3.33 and 10x bet wins. Ali Baba is the best player granting wins of 0.66, 6.66 and 16.66 times your stake for 3, 4 and 5 symbols.

The female character in a blue dress is the wild symbol in Alibaba Riches. It can appear as 1×1, 1×2 and 1×3 normally, partially or fully stacked on its reel. The wild can take partially or fully its reel besides helping you form more paying combinations. It can substitute for all other standard symbols. When a stacked wild takes part in a win, the part that contributed to the combination is crashed. The remaining part of the wild symbol breaks into smaller wild symbols.
