For a Middle Eastern themed slot that isn’t like most others, Djinn of Storms: PowerPlay is simple but entertaining. The game is based on Arabian folklore, with Djinn meaning a mischievous spirit (though you probably correctly think of it as a genie).
Graphics & Symbols
Animated with cartoon like graphics, the game is set in a desert. A blue domed Arabic palace takes up the majority of the background. The swaying palm trees on each side of the reels helps make the game relaxing. An Arabian prince wearing a turban is the highest paying symbol on the reels. Other symbols include a princess and a warrior, along with a golden jug and a serpent. The Djinn is also a symbol on the reels, and appears as a stacked wild.
The Djinn stacked wild is only seen on the second, third, and fourth reels. Look for this stacked wild to cover one of the three reels in the middle of the screen.
Bonus Features
The appearance of the stacked Djinn wild in the middle of the reels unlocks the game’s re-spin feature. When this happens, you will see the Djinn standing on the right side and blows the stacked wild to move it to a different position on the reels. This is followed by the reels being re-spun without you having to pay again. Every time the stacked wild moves to a new position, you get a multiplier. They start at one and go up to five.
If you are lucky enough to have the Djinn wild land on the second, third, and fourth reels again, the re-spins feature starts over. At this point, a single multiplier gets you a cash prize of of 500 times the amount of the bet that triggered the feature.
A double multiplier gets you a cash prize of 1000 times the amount of the total bet. If you get a triple multiplier the cash prize is 1500 times the bet amount and if you get a five times multiplier you get a cash prize of 2500 times the amount of your bet.The Djinn re-spins feature ends when the symbol is blown right off the reels.
For many players the best part of this game is the PowerPlay Jackpot feature. There are three possible jackpots you can win; Mini, Peak, and Mega. Of the three, only the Mega is a progressive jackpot, while the other two jackpots are a fixed amount. Anytime you spin the reels during regular gameplay, you may randomly get a chance to win one of these jackpots.
Because of the offered jackpots, this slot’s RTP is 96.4%. The average RTP for an online slot is just under this percentage. Djinn of Storm’s RTP rate leads to each player betting real money contributing 2.99% of their bet to the amount of the progressive jackpot.
The three jackpots may have been put into the game to distract you from the fact that it has no free spin bonus. This is very unusual for a modern slot, and is a good reason why this game may never be as popular as others.
The only other feature this slot has is auto spins. This is a feature that is included in almost every online slot machine. It allows you to choose from a few options that dictate how many times the reels spin without you having to do anything. The lowest number of auto spins you can request is five and the highest number of auto spins you can request is 100. But you can also set it so that the auto spin feature stops if one of those spins triggers the bonus.

For many reasons Djinn of Storms: Power Play Jackpot is in a class of its own. Some players might consider this a good thing and some might consider it a bad thing. It may have impressive jackpots but the glaring lack of a free spins bonus round is a huge mark against it.
The online gambling industry is extremely competitive. Knowing this, software companies generally pack their slots with enough bonus features to make them attractive to players. In the case of this game, that didn’t happen.
Since its theme isn’t anything unusual, this slot will likely have a hard time competing against other games. Its almost certain this particular slot will never inspire a sequel.
Stand alone slots like Djinn of Storms need to have at least one memorable feature. Not every player is impressed by multiple jackpots, mostly because they are so hard for the average player to win.
This slot will have to succeed entirely on players’ love of Arabian themed games. As a popular type of folklore, people of all ages and all over the world are familiar with it, at least. The worldwide appeal of the theme is probably the main thing this game has going for it. But no one knows if that will be enough to make it a hit with players.
