Aladdin Slots

I’ve reviewed hundreds of online casinos and bingo sites in the last year, and countless more in the years before that. In that time, I’ve noticed that operators are pretty much running out of ideas when it comes to site names. In the old days, you chose something relevant and catchy, ergo bet365 and Betfair. As the years progressed and the good names went, this relevancy was replaced by pretty much anything that had a tenuous link to online gambling. When the idea pot boiled dry, I imagine that operators just opened Urban Dictionary and browsed to a random page. Realistically, it’s the only method that could have given us Lucky Pants Bingo. In the case of Aladdin Slots, the latest offering from Jumpman Slots, it looks like they landed right on a Disney trademark. One of the golden rules of opening an online business, right after, “Choose a brand with an available domain”, is “don’t annoy Disney”, and I’m both baffled and impressed that this site exists. With that tangent out of the way, let’s rub the magic lamp and see what pops out.

Welcome Offer

There are two Welcome Bonuses available at Aladdin Slots. The first of these is a No Deposit Bonus that offers 5 Free Spins on the Diamond Strike (not my favourite, but free is free) and the second is a Mega Wheel loaded with prizes. The Aladdin Slots Welcome Bonus offers up to '500 Free Spins' in the form of a random bonus offer. It’s the equivalent of the Loot Chest used on sites like Star Wins and offers similar prizes, including Bonus Spins and Amazon vouchers. To qualify, just deposit £10 or more and you should see the Genie Lamp notification. The Terms and Conditions seem to suggest that this won’t reappear if you close it, so don’t do what I would almost certainly do and immediately close the pop-up out of habit. The spins are tied to specific slots, including Starburst, Gonzo’s Quest, Rainbow Riches, Fluffy Favourites, and Chilli Heat. The Amazon vouchers are emailed to your account within 7 days.

Promotions

Jumpman Gaming sites have always been good to loyal players and Aladdin Slots is no exception. As soon as you make it through the Welcome Bonus, you can collect all of the following:

• Scratch For Cash: Wager £10 or more on any scratch card game between the first and last day of each month for the chance to win £1,000.
• Trophies: Collect trophies and win prizes by completing challenges.
• Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: The biggest single spin winner during any given month will be given a £50 Just Eat voucher.
• Happy Hours: Every Wednesday between 3-7PM, funded players  will be given a chance to win 10+ Free Spins, on a different slot every Wednesday.

Slots and Bingo Rooms

The bulk of the slots at Aladdin Slots are provided by Playtech, one of the biggest names in the game and one that has some of the best jackpot slots. The Age of the Gods series and the Kingdoms Rise series are two of the biggest and the best that Playtech has to offer, but they both seem to be missing here. It seems like an odd omission, and a disappointing one, but there are some other jackpot games to make up for it, including those with the Fire Blaze Jackpots feature. Some of the best slots here include Fishin’ Frenzy, Pearls Pearls Pearls, Thunderstruck II, Starburst, Stampede, and Ozwin’s Jackpots. But in general, it’s a very limited offering. I was convinced that I had somehow missed a few categories, but unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. The bingo selection is solid as well, as there are a few classic Jumpman Gaming rooms, but it’s supposed to be a slot site and it just doesn’t look like one.

Depositing and Withdrawing

I’ve encountered a few issues with casino deposits lately and many of these concern PayPal. Rainbow Riches Casino and Heart Bingo, along with a few others, limited my deposits to debit cards, with one suggesting that I could use PayPal for additional transactions and the other stating that PayPal was no longer available. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case with Aladdin Slots. The process was much more straightforward and I actually could use PayPal, as well as Paysafecard, Pay by Mobile, and debit cards. Visit the Cashier, choose from one of the four payment methods, enter your details, and then confirm the amount. Withdrawals usually take between 1 and 3 days to process and you will need to verify your account before you can begin this process. Unlike Sun Bingo  and a bunch of other UK gambling sites, you won’t be verified as soon as you join but may be asked to send verification documents before your withdrawal. If you’re depositing a lot of cash, a limit may be placed on your account and this limit will apply across all Jumpman Gaming casinos. It’s a player protection method and it’s designed to prevent problem gambling. If such a limit is reached and you want to keep those deposits flowing, you’ll need to send them an email with a recent payslip, a bank statement, and the amount you want to gamble with. In other words, they want to prove that you can afford the money you’re gambling with, which means it needs to be a fraction of your income/balance.

Aladdin Slots Review Summary

Aladdin Slots has a very simple sign up process and it doesn’t over-complicate the payments side of things, either. It makes for a refreshing change, as regulatory changes seem to have sent this industry into a mad panic and it has created all kinds of frustrating scenarios for me as a player and reviewer. It has a decent Welcome Bonus and plenty of Loyalty Promotions, but at a time when many sites are trying to go all-out with the innovative designs and unique gaming selections, Aladdin is too reliant on the same-old same-old. I've praised sites with the same gaming selections in the past, so I feel guilty picking on Aladdin Slots, but those sites looked modern and featured attractive designs. Aladdin Slots looks like it was developed 20 years ago and hasn't been updated since. It's like the avocado bathroom suite in your great aunty's house. It's still functional and works as well as any other bath, toilet, and sink, but it's in bad need of an update! [publishpress_authors_box layout="ppma_boxes_9936" user_id="4"]
