Arabian Nights
Intro
Arabian Nights is a NetEnt competitor of Mega Moolah jackpot slot. At least for many years he remained the most popular and generous "progressive" in the NetEnt lineup. Until now, the record for winnings in the network of the Swedish developer holds exactly "Arabian Nights" (8.6 million euros).
General description
Arabian Nights is often called "Aladdin" or "Sultan" among Russian-speaking players due to its peculiar oriental design. The machine is well known in the CIS, despite the lack of localization for the region. Some Russian-speaking operators (1xSlots, 1xBet) offer a stripped-down version of Arabian Nights with a local progressive jackpot.
The machine itself sends us back to the noughties with its basic design (cards, plain pictures), lack of animations and simple mechanics (10 lines, 5x3, freespins). A detailed review of the game is presented on our website. This is one of NetEnt's oldest active products at the moment and the oldest jackpot.
The jackpot in Arabian Nights is structured as a generic grid progressive. However, Betsson's grid uses a combination of a global and local variant. The largest Arabian Nights jackpot is still in the global top 15 of the biggest wins in online casino history.
Jackpot slots
Arabian Nights slot machine has made almost three dozen players millionaires in its 15-year history. The game was released back in 2005. Ten years later, it was adapted for mobile devices by converting it to HTML5.
Almost all of the jackpots hit in Arabian Nights have gone to gamers from Norway, Sweden and Finland. This is typical of NetEnt, as they usually limit the geography of one-armed bandits with a global progressive super prize.
From 2010 to 2019 (decade 2010s), the machine has snapped 45 jackpots. Standing out is a win by an anonymous Finnish gambler at Paf Casino in the fall of 2012. He managed to get his hands on 8,635,872 euros. At the time, it was one of the five biggest wins of all time in online casinos. No one else had ever managed to win even more than five million.
Jackpot amount Arabian Nights
The super prize in the machine is generated from deductions of 5% of each player's bet. At least the RTP of the machine without the jackpot is 90.6% and with it - 95.6%.
There is a minimum regulated amount - 125 000 euros (previously there was another minimum).
The average size of a blown superprize, however, is €1.5 million. Some operators or grids use a combination of local and global pool options (Betsson, Mr. Green). And 1xSlots applies only the local variant.
What are the chances of hitting the Arabian Nights jackpot ?
The chance to hit the jackpot in "Arabian Nights" is 1 in 5,431,415. Note that winning the super prize is possible only at the maximum bet.Jackpot rules
Since 2005, when the machine was released, the basic rules have not changed. In modern slots, the jackpot is played in a special round. In this machine everything is realized in the old fashioned way: you need to collect five special symbols. Namely - five savages (dark-skinned Arab with a ring in his hand).
There is another rule: to have a chance to win the progressive jackpot, you must play at the maximum bet. Fortunately, the bet is small - only 5 euros. If the bet amount is lower, then you'll get a multiplier of 10,000x when you hit five wilds.
