With a genie theme, the Steamfire’s Lamps of Fortune slot takes you the industrial city of Gearheaven where you join a legendary mechanical genie called Steamfire. Your aim is the find his lamp to unlock Steamfire’s powers and reveal secrets and riches of the steam-powered marvel Gearhaven.

Yes, it’s a bit much but the backstory is pretty impressive. It may have a genie theme but the game has an Arabian flavour with a dystopian twist. With a beautiful Arabian temple and palm trees in the backdrop, the soundtrack is serene and sets the tone perfectly.

On the reels, you will see Arabian-style A, K, Q, J and 10 royals. Higher-value symbols include Gearhaven, camels, snakes, scimitars (curved swords), purple gems and the Steamfire the genie himself. Steamfire is the best-paying symbol awarding 4 times your total bet for 5 across any payline. Below is a list of payouts for all regular symbols:

• Q/J/10: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.1, 0.3 or 0.5 x bet
• A/K: 3, 4, or 5 = 0.2, 0.5 or 0.8 x bet
• Camel/Gearhaven: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.4, 0.8 or 1.2 x bet
• Scimitars/Snake: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.6, 1 or 1.5 x bet
• Purple Gem: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.8, 1.5 or 3 x bet
• Steamfire: 3, 4 or 5 = 1, 2.5 or 4 x bet

Steamfire’s Lamps of Fortune also comes with several special symbols. There is a Lamp Wild symbol which substitutes for all paying symbols above. With 5 across a payline a 4 times bet payout, you will land wilds on the 10^th spin of the base game (more details below).

For this to happen, you need Lamp symbols to land anywhere on the reels. These lock in magic frames which reveal Lamp Wilds every 10 base game spins. Finally, there is a Scatter symbol which appears on reels 1, 3 and 5. This will trigger the Free Spins feature.

Steamfire’s Lamps of Fortune Mobile

Steamfire’s Lamps of Fortune was produced using HTML5 technology. Adapting to desktop, mobile and tablet devices, you will use Portrait Mode if playing on an iOS or Android smartphone. The visuals look superb on all devices but a laptop or PC is always recommended for the best experience.

Steamfire’s Lamps of Fortune comes with a whopping 10 bonus features. With Magic Frames awarding Lamp Wilds every 10 base game spins, watch for the Genie who can random dish out random extras including multipliers, extra scatters and more Magic Frames. In the free spins, collecting Lamps will see the Genie appear up to 3 times for more lucrative extras such as extra free spins, cash prizes and multiplier boosts.

Wishing Wilds

Above the reels, you will notice a counter which begins at 10. After every base game spin, a Magic Frame locks in position on the reels when a Lamp symbol lands.

On the 10^th base game spin, the Wishing Wilds feature is triggered with all Magic Frames transforming to Lamp Wild symbols. This will help you form winning combinations more easily.

Genie features

Look out for the Genie randomly activating in the base game. Bringing various Genie features into play, below is what the Genie can reward you with:

• Random Scatter feature: The genie can appear when 2 Scatters are already on the reels and increase the chances of landing the all-important 3^rd Scatter to trigger the Free Spins feature.
• Magic Frames feature: 2, 3 or 4 Magic Frames will appears on the reels. If a Magic Frame lands on a position with a Magic Frame on it, the frame multiplier increases by 1 up to 5x.
• Multipliers feature: A multiplier from 2x to 5x is added to existing Magic Frames with existing Magic Frame multipliers upgraded by 1, 2 or 3 (up to 5x).
• Shuffle feature: Existing Magic Frames shuffle around to more desirable positions.

Free Spins

Steamfire’s Lamps of Fortune comes with a Free Spins feature that is activated when 3 Scatter symbols land simultaneously on a base game spin on reels 1, 3 and 5. With 10 free spins awarded, the Wishing Wilds feature applies as in the base game.

When a Lamp symbol appears on the reels, its frame becomes a Magic Frame and remains locked for the duration of the feature. On your final free spin, all Magic Frames transform to Lamp Wild symbols.

Furthermore, Genie features can be triggered as a wish when 5 Lamp symbols are collected . You’ll notice a Lamp counter above the reels which displays how many Lamp symbols still need to be collected for the next wish. The counter resets after each Genie feature triggers and starts to collect Lamp symbols all over again.

Up to 3 wishes can be granted by the Genie during the free spins meaning you’d need to collect 15 Lamp symbols in total. Below, you’ll find the features granted by the Genie during the free spins:

• Magic Frames feature: 3, 4 or 5 Magic Frames appear. If a Magic Frame lands in position with a Magic Frame on it, the frame multiplier increases by 1. However, Magic Frames added do not contribute to the Lamp counter.
• Transform feature: Existing Magic Frames become sticky wilds for the remainder of the feature. They can also contain multipliers with their values combined.
• Multipliers feature: 3 to 5 existing Magic Frames can be upgraded by a 1x, 2x or 3x multiplier (up to 5x).
• Additional Spins feature: Simply, 3 to 5 extra free spins are added to your tally.
• Mystery Win feature: A mystery cash prizes between 5 and 50 times your total bet will be awarded.

Bonus Buy

Finally, players located outside the UK can make use of the optional Bonus Buy feature. This allows players to buy their way into the Free Spins feature for 30 times your total bet. Furthermore, the RTP of 94.08% remains the same.

For starters, the Steamfire’s Lamps of Fortune slot looks fantastic. I love how bet365 has combined a traditional Arabian flavour with a dystopian futuristic feel for a unique look. The soundtrack is also superb.

In the base game, it’s all about the Wishing Wilds feature where Magic Frames lock in position for a 10-spin cycle. On the 10^th spin, all positions with Magic Frames display a Lamp Wild symbol for big wins hopefully. This feature can be found in other slot games such as Pragmatic Play’s Bronco Spirit and IGT’s Scarab. Wild frames feature in slots such as Rabid Randy (NetEnt) and Mental (Nolimit City).

With the Genie randomly activating bonus features in the base game, the action intensifies in the Free Spins feature where you begin with 10 free spins. Lamp symbols award Magic Frames which all transform into Lamp Wilds on your final free spin. The Genie can appear 3 times and is more generous. He can add more Magic Frames, Magic Frame multipliers up to 5x, sticky wilds, multiplier increases, cash prizes and extra free spins.

Feature-packed, the Steamfire’s Lamps of Fortune slot game can award maximum wins of 5,000 times your total bet. With a lower-than-average RTP rate of 94.08% being the only negative, you can see why it’s such a popular choice at bet365 Casino.

If you like dystopian-inspired slots, Relax Gaming’s Money Train 4 would be my choice. The last in the Money Train series, it comes with a superb Money Cart Bonus feature with new bandits and more special symbols which can lead to 150,000 times bet max wins.
