10,001 NIGHTS

Those of us who haven't yet read the collection of Middle Eastern folk tales called One Thousand and One Nights can save themselves the page flipping, because Red Tiger Gaming has pounced on the Arabian nights theme in style with its 10,001 Nights slot.

Nobody seems to mind that Red Tiger has thrown in the extra zero in the title, so why should we? Nevertheless, once you load up this game, that question will be the last thing on your mind. Here's why.

ABOUT THE 10,001 NIGHTS SLOT

This Red Tiger Gaming creation is as easy on the eyes as slots get, but looks aren't the only thing that this slot has got going for it. A few bonus features are sure to impress the completionists among players, but we'll touch on that later on.

The game is packed with animations and special effects, and they all flow unnaturally well on the ornate reels. If you're a stickler for originality, you'll be disappointed with the game's soundtrack, even though it fits the slot quite well.

GAMEPLAY

This is a high-volatility game mostly oriented towards players with at least some experience under their belt. Here's what you need to know prior to kick-starting this Arabian escapade.

WAGER

In 10,001 Nights, you'll be looking at a five-by-four grid that offers 20 paylines and a massive win potential of 10,347x the stake, if you're lucky. Wins are paid when a symbol matches a payline pattern from the leftmost reel to the right. To get started, simply toggle the stake from a minimum of €0.10 to a maximum of €8, or currency equivalent.

SYMBOLS

The game features symbols of varying value. The low-paying symbols are the four card suits, while the high-paying symbols feature shoes, a spice jar, a camel, a tiger and a stern-looking man.

Wild symbols portray a masked woman, and they substitute for all paying symbols. They come in two sizes: either the size of a normal symbol or the size of a whole reel — called Mega Wilds.

Destiny Spins symbols are the game's Scatters, and they are required to trigger the Free Spins bonus round, whereas golden oil lamp symbols serve to trigger various features.

10,001 NIGHTS FREE SPINS BONUS

A lack of features to win bonus spins has become a deal-breaker when it comes to contemporary slot games, but 10,001 Nights doesn't disappoint in this regard. Welcome to the Destiny Spins feature, where you'll need to land three, four or five Destiny Spins symbols to be awarded eight, 10 or 12 bonus spins, respectively.

10,001 NIGHTS FREE SPINS FEATURE - DESTINY SPINS SYMBOLS

Strangely enough, the Destiny Spins feature doesn't transport you to another backdrop, as tends to happen during most Free Spins features. Instead, it takes place in the base game itself, where you'll be hoping to land more Scatters to trigger another bonus Destiny Spins round. Land three, four or five Scatters to win six, seven or eight bonus spins, respectively.

10,001 NIGHTS FEATURE LAMPS

This game has four lamp features, and in order to unlock each feature, lamp symbols are required. All you have to do to collect oil lamp symbols is simply spin the reels. They could land randomly during each spin, and once they do, they will vanish from the reels and make their way to the meter. Other symbols will then fall in their place during the same spin, possibly setting up a winning combination.

The four meters at the top of the reels represent the four different features, and they will progressively unlock as you land golden oil lamps.

IMPERIAL SPIN FEATURE

This is the first stage, and you'll need to land a total of six lamps in order to trigger it. Once unlocked, this feature will remove low-value symbols during the next spin, which means that only high-paying symbols will appear — making way for a significant win, if you're lucky.

RANDOM WILDS FEATURE

Lamps continue landing at the same irregular intervals after the first feature is unlocked. Land seven more to trigger the second feature, which spreads a random number of Wilds across the reels on the next spin.

MULTI-PICK FEATURE

Land eight more oil lamps to trigger the Multi-Pick feature. Once unlocked, this feature will enable you to win multipliers by selecting one of the three cards at your disposal.

MEGA WILDS FEATURE

Finally, landing nine more magic lamps will unlock the final feature, which adds one or more Expanding Wilds to the grid.

Once all the features are unlocked, they will trigger randomly from then on. Reaching this point is pretty laborious, but this is where the game steps it up a notch.

The slot then becomes really unpredictable, since a single spin might trigger any of the four features we described above. Not knowing what future spins hold is the concept of most online slots, but in this case, it has truly been imbued well.

10,001 NIGHTS FREE PLAY

Before trying this slot with real cash, it would be a neat idea to free-play it first.

You can do that thanks to the demo version — an identical copy of the base game that grants you a virtual balance to spend on some educational spins. This means that you could bet on the game without forking out any real money, just like what happens in the Free Spins feature!

The size of your virtual balance is predetermined by Red Tiger Gaming, but in the unlikely event that it runs out, you could simply reload the game and try spinning the reels again.

Do note that registration may be necessary before access to the demos can be granted at LV BET. LV BET is licensed and regulated by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) and the United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC), which guarantees that your gaming experience at our casino will be as safe as possible.

Once that is settled, all you have to do is load up LV BET and search for the game you would like to try. Once the game's interface pops up, simply toggle the slider to 'Demo mode'.

Whenever you feel ready to try the game out with real money, simply toggle the slider to get started!

VERDICT

Red Tiger Gaming really did well this time around. Loading up the game is an experience of its own, let alone unlocking all the different features that the slot offers. Granted, it might actually take you 10,001 nights to collect the required number of lamps, but the entertainment is amplified considerably once all the features are triggered. A similar problem arises when it comes to the Free Spins bonus round, since the Destiny Spins icons very rarely pop up on the grid.

All in all, this magic carpet is well worth climbing on, but do make sure to bring Lady Luck on board with you. Without her, it's unlikely that you'll see regular payouts, especially given the high volatility of this game. Playing this casino slot at LV BET also puts you in the running to win a progressive jackpot! All Red Tiger slots offer a chance to win the super, daily or 10-minute progressive jackpots.

If you're looking for similar games, we'd really recommend Arabian Spins!
