Winfall Wishes Slot Machine

If you’re partial to all things Arabian and exotic – or even some things Arabian and exotic – you need to catch an eyeful of Winfall Wishes. It’s a beauty of a game, one which takes the oversaturated and underpowered Arabian slots genre and cranks the quality control up several notches. Gamesys are the developer responsible for this lovely looking slot. It might not be quite so rich in the features department, but on the graphics front this game is killing it.

Winfall Wishes lives up to its name, presenting a cascading array of riches that fall into position. Developers seem to favour this approach with Arabian themed games more than most for some reason and it’s one that’s brilliantly executed here. The reason why this Gamesys slot looks so epic comes not on account of the symbols, pleasing as they are, but rather due to the background, a background that is the true star of this game.

Cascading Riches

The backdrop depicts an Arabian palace replete with ornate pillars, rich red tapestries, tiled floors and oil lamps glowing gently while, behind it all, the night sky is lit up with pinprick stars. It would be fair to say that Gamesys have raised the bar here, creating a kaleidoscopic canvas that puts other Arabian slots to shame. Winfall Wishes is a 25-payline slot, one that eschews plus and minus symbols for toggling the line bet in favour of a system whereby you simply click on the button corresponding to the bet you wish to place.

Falling Fortune

The maximum bet you can place is 8, which works out at 200 per spin. If you don’t immediately see this option at the bottom of your screen, click on the More Bets button and it should appear. Gamesys have wisely elected to let the magnificent palace attract all the attention, which is why they’ve kept the game controls as minimal as possible. If you want to disable the sound, click the discreet icon in the top left of the page. The paytable information, meanwhile, is tucked away in a similarly discreet icon in the bottom left of the screen.

Rub the Lamp

Winfall Wishes is an Aladdin-based slot, even if it’s not immediately apparent upon first playing the game. There’s a genie who’ll come into play, helping all your wishes come true, as genies are apt to do. The only thing you can’t wish for, if you recall, is additional wishes. The genie appears as a stacked wild is a spin has caused an entire vertical reel of symbols to rain down. When this happens, the genie will show up, rendered all in blue in keeping with tradition.

Try Winfall Riches

Winfall Wishes has an RTP of just under 95%. The closest game to this is, predictably, another Gamesys effort, Winfall Riches. It too is a 25-payline medium variance slot whose symbols drop and which dispenses between 7 and 25 spins. Gamesys have pushed out a few other cloned games in this manner including Twilight Forest and Secrets of the Phoenix. Although there’s nothing new in terms of gameplay, the graphics, in Twilight Forest especially, make these games well worth a look.

For slots that operate in a similar fashion to Winfall Wishes, you might wanna check out Hocus Pocus or Hocus Pocus Deluxe, both by Merkur. They have 20 and 40 paylines respectively and reels that roll rather than cascade. Alternatively, if you’re simply in the market for another Aladdin game, there are loads of other candidates that warrant a look including Aladdin’s Wishes, Aladdin’s Legacy and Aladdin Hand of Midas.

Wishes Comes True

If you like to play your slots on desktop rather than mobile, Winfall Wishes is well worth your time. More than anything it’s just a great game to look at and you could feast your eyes on that gorgeous backdrop for ages. When you tear them away and focus instead on the board you’ll find a game that’s inventive and full of cool little features, whether it’s the appearance of the genie or the collection of lamps that eventually triggers free spins. For a slot that removes all unnecessary clutter and leaves you free to focus on what matters, Winfall Wishes is the perfect example. Gamesys have done a stellar job here and are to be commended for their efforts.
