Fortunes of Ali Baba Video Slot by Play’n Go Already a Hit!
When Play’n Go launched Fortunes of Ali Baba online in February 2020, the new slot quickly attracted attention at desktop and mobile casinos, according to the original report.
Drawing on a tale familiar to many slot players, Fortunes of Ali Baba offers 5 reels and 20 pay lines. The reported features include multipliers, free spins and a top win of 10,000x the spin bet.
Earlier Ali Baba slot releases came from Cayetano Gaming, XIN Gaming and Red Rake, arriving in 2017, 2018, and 2019 respectively. For 2020, Play’n Go developed its own entry, drawing on the familiar Arabian treasure adventures associated with Ali Baba.
For this version, the studio drew on the ‘One Thousand and One Nights’ collection, bringing recognisable scenes from a celebrated Arabian Nights tale into a polished 3D slot. Its presentation uses animated action and story-based symbols, alongside a bonus game described as offering high payouts.
Scatter symbols on reel 1 and reel 5 can trigger a story segment played out on the reels, with bonus cash as the stated reward. It centres on Ali Baba, a poor woodcutter, discovering the Den of Thieves, also called the Cave of Thieves in storybooks and the animated movie Forty Thieves, drawn from ‘One Thousand and One Nights’.
The bonus moves to a screen inside the Den of Thieves, where pots contain 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.
Clearing bonus level 1 banks 10x the total spin bet. Across the next 4 levels, a pick may uncover free spins or another instant prize, while a thief may catch Ali Baba and end the round. Each higher stage offers the possibility of a larger award, from 10x to 100x the total bet.
The Den of Thieves feature combines free spins with the spin bet multipliers gathered at each level; the article gives a maximum win of 10,000x the spin bet.
The Ali Baba slot had been available at Play’n Go casinos since 27 February. That historical release detail does not establish present availability, particularly for Canadian players.
The game was described as high volatility, with an RTP of 96.89%. The report 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 anticipating Sticky Joker, a 3-reel slot with 5 pay lines, and Testament, a 5-reel game offering 243-ways to 2,400-ways-to-win. The original report expected both titles to reach Play’n Go casinos in March 2020.
The article also pointed to more video slot games expected from Play’n Go and other providers during the year. GCCans reports on releases in its casino news section, while dates and availability in that historical coverage should not be read as current listings.
