Lamp of Wonder review

Theme and Style

Lamp of Wonder draws its inspiration from the tale of Aladdin and his lamp from the Tales of 1,001 Nights, with the lamp taking center stage in this slot.

The visual style definitely owes a debt to the Disney movie on the same subject, though none of the characters make an appearance.

This slot should appeal to anyone who enjoys a fairy tale vibe with some Middle Eastern flavor, or to fans of the original tale as told by Scheherazade.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The graphics of Lamp of Wonder are fairly complex and detailed in their design, but very limited in number. There are only a handful of symbols and icons, but each one is given due care with shading and individual idle animations and bright, fun win-and-spin animations.

The musical soundtrack is a fast-paced Middle Eastern riff, with fairly generic sounds for the spinning reels and winning animations.

Overall, Lamp of Wonder has a minimalist large-scale design, with serious attention given to the small-scale detailing.

Gameplay

Lamp of Wonder has a unique twist on slot gameplay. At first glance, the slot looks like a typical three-by-three, single winline slot.

However, once you start playing you immediately notice most of the symbols are blank. This is because there is no win state in the base game. Instead, you are spinning in the hope of eventually triggering the bonus game (more details in the Bonus section).

Symbols have either a random value on them, a Jackpot name on them, or are Bonus symbols that apply special effects once the bonus is triggered.

The maximum win on any given round is capped at 500x the player's bet. This is relatively low, but makes sense given the game's unusual gameplay structure.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

There are no Wild symbols in Lamp of Wonder.

The Bonus game is triggered when the player lands three symbols on the winline. These symbols stay in place for the rest of the Free Spin Bonus and the player is granted a counter with three free spins on it.

Whenever a new symbol lands on the reels, it is also locked in place and the free spin counter resets to three.

There are several special symbols. For example, when a Collect symbol lands, it takes on the value of all the Money symbols that have landed elsewhere on the reels.

The Bonus ends when the counter reaches zero. At any point in the Bonus Game, a multiplier feature can trigger, increasing the player's winnings by a random multiplier.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

The return to player (RTP) of Lamp of Wonder has not been declared by the game creator — 3 Oaks Gaming. The RTP of a game is such a vital piece of information that we cannot recommend any slot that is not up front about it.

The range of bets on the site we tested ran from a minimum bet per spin of $/£/€0.10 up to a maximum of $/£/€60.00 per spin.

Lamp of Wonder comes with high volatility, meaning that a player's wins will tend to be less frequent but bigger, on average. We tend to prefer high volatility slots, but that is also contingent on the RTP being high enough.

Conclusion

The lack of RTP information scuppers this slot's hope of a recommendation from us.

However, if you are unworried by such things and find yourself drawn to Disney-like design and a Middle Eastern aesthetic, then you might enjoy this slot.

The minimalist gameplay is fun, simple, and original. The soundtrack is compelling and atmospheric.

There's a lot to like, just a shame about the RTP.
