We love it when casino game providers lets us have a quick look at their brand new games before anyone else. Makes you feel special doesn’t it?
And you can feel special with us, as we share with you everything we know and some special screenshots of what’s to come.
That said, a new Quickspin release isn’t exactly as grand as new Net Entertainment or Microgaming slot. So why are we getting excited about this?
Because we really loved their last release, the Second Strike slot, and are hopeful about what Genie’s Touch has to offer.
After all, one good video slot should follow another… right?
What we know about the Genie’s Touch slot
It’s going to be beautiful, we’ve yet to see a Quickspin mobile slot game that isn’t – creating gorgeous graphics and immersive sounds has never been their problem.
Loosely based on the myth of Aladdin (we think), there is something about the graphics that reminded us of a mix of the Sinbad slot, with it’s gemstone symbols and exotic characters, and the King Colossus slot, with it’s rich opulent background and 5×3 reels.

So we kinda know what to expect in terms of look and feel; it will have that soft calming music that transports you straight into the Arabian nights, with beautiful women, handsome leads, evil vizier and wise old men.
And then, of course, there’s that magical lamp.
The secret hiding in the genie’s lamp
This Genie’s Touch mobile slot appears to have one big main feature that we can see; that of the magical lamp symbol.
If you get three or more, the pretty girl genie will pop out and replaces adjacent symbols with more of the same symbols around, instantly giving you multiple wins over 20 paylines.
It also has 10 free spins when triggered by 3 or more scatters, so it’s not the only feature in the game.
But the reasons we know the lamp symbol has more value is because during the free spins you don’t get multipliers, or more wilds, but more lamp symbols.
They better hope we freaking fall in love with that Genie’s Touch, because otherwise this whole slot machine will fall apart.
Game preview statistics
But, a game is much more than it’s features, so let’s have a little look at the information provided:
- Min/max bet: 0.20 / 100 per spin
- Return to player rate: 96.90%
- Max win won’t go much above 350 times your bet
- Classical Arabian Nights theme
- 10 free spins triggered on 3 scatters
- 3 lamp symbols trigger the Genie’s Touch bonus
That’s pretty much all we know about this new online mobile game.
So what are our first impressions?
This looks like another easy playing fare that have made Quickspin slots so very famous; you can play for hours, it will keep your balance steady, but once in a while you get 30x to 50x your bet and you walk away happy.
We might be wrong. We might be judging a book by it’s cover.
But if they are going to make the Genies Touch slot interesting then that Genies Touch is either going to have to show up often, or show up with some good wins when it does.
Our instincts are that it’s going to be the first rather than the second. It’s just what they do.
And with a top win of only 350 times your bet, we’re not talking jackpot amounts here. But that’s not always a bad thing if they keep the game lively, and the wins surprising from time to time.
So are we that excited?
Honestly? Excited is not quite the word we’d use. On the other hand, it seems like all slots software providers are taking a break from ‘excitement’ this February.
IGT’s Hot Roll Super Time Pays and 100,000 Pyramid slots look ok, but neither seem earth shattering.
Get 20/50 free spins no deposit + $€1000/£1500 over 4 deposits and an extra 180 free spins. Now that’s a killer offer.
Even NetEnt’s Drive slot due out at the end of the month, on the 26th of February, kinda looks like a filler after their amazing Guns n Roses slot game release.
The new February Microgaming games look a little more interesting, but even thats just one game, with two different themes, so just a little on the lazy side.
Basically, every software provider seems to have taken a bit of a back seat this February. Hopefully a couple will prove us wrong, and we hope it’s Quickspin.
At least they are trying something new, with a feature which might not be completely unique, but different enough that we can’t think of another mobile game with that feature off the top of our heads (though we suspect one exists).
Where can I find Quickspin slot games?
If you can’t wait till the 16th February, or want to see what’s in store and try out some Quickspin games, then you are in luck.
There are plenty of top mobile casinos that host their whole collection including some of their very best.
The top casinos in question?
- Casumo casino: get €£1,200 over 5 deposits + 200 free spins
- Leo Vegas casino: an equally huge £1,500 / $€1,000 over 4 deposits + 20 free spins
We’ve already mentioned Second Strike, but there’s plenty of others that provide interesting facets to their easy playing game play.
Most would tell you to start with their award winning Big Bad Wolf slot, but our personal favourite is actually the Seven’s High game with a free spins feature that feels like it can last forever.
Both show how Quickspin can make a great machine around one big simple concept.
