Ali Baba’s Riches slot review
In the tale, the cave opened to "Open Sesame"; here, the password isn't spoken but collected. In GameArt's Ali Baba's Riches, every consecutive cascade earns a lantern, and five lanterns open the way into the Baba Bonus. The big idea: base game cascades build up lanterns, and the bonus turns them into prizes, a multiplier and free spins.
Cave map: 5x3, 30 paylines, RTP 96.36%, very high volatility. Symbols land as 2x2 and 3x3 blocks, wins cascade, and 5 lanterns trigger the Baba Bonus.
How do the cave walls come down?
Medium- and high-paying symbols can land as blocks on any reel. After a cascade, blocks crush down to fill the gaps.
The wild is a princess. Stacked wilds land as 1x3 symbols: the section that took part in a win is destroyed, and the rest breaks into smaller wilds.
Which lanterns will you light in the Baba Bonus?
Each consecutive cascade in the base game earns 1 lantern, and 5 or more trigger the Baba Bonus.
🏮 Three lantern colours
- You can select up to 12 lanterns.
- Purple: cash prizes.
- Blue: raise the multiplier, which applies to bonus cash prizes and carries over into free spins.
- Red: award free spins.
In free spins, blocks take part in several wins before they're destroyed.
How much gold is in the cave at 96.36% RTP?
96.36% RTP and very high volatility. Mechanically, the potential builds as a chain: cascades collect lanterns, blue lanterns raise the multiplier, and it carries into free spins, where blocks pay several times. No max win is listed.
Cave gold
- 2x2 and 3x3 blocks cover several positions at once.
- The Baba Bonus multiplier carries over into free spins.
- In free spins, a block pays several times before it breaks.
Bandit ambushes
- Volatility is very high.
- Only consecutive cascades earn lanterns, and the bonus needs at least 5.
- A lantern's colour decides the reward: prizes, multiplier or free spins.
Who should step into the cave?
| Player profile | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Players who like building progress through cascades | 🟢 Yes | Each consecutive cascade is a lantern, and five open the bonus. |
| Fans of block symbols | 🟢 Likely yes | 2x2 and 3x3 blocks in the base game, and in free spins they pay multiple times. |
| Players who prefer an even pace | 🟠 Likely no | Volatility is very high. |
| Players counting on all 12 lanterns | 🟡 Caution | 12 is the selection limit, and not every lantern gives the same thing. |
⚡ Should you play Ali Baba's Riches?
In the base game, it's a hunt for chains: blocks crumble, cascades roll one after another, and each one brings a lantern. In the Baba Bonus and free spins, what you've built turns into prizes, a multiplier and blocks that pay several times. If that second stage appeals and very high volatility doesn't scare you, the cave is worth a visit. The cave opens for whoever gathers the password one lantern at a time.
