Rise of the Genie (iSoftBet) – Review & Demo Play

Rise of the Genie Slot Overview

Rise of the Genie is a 3 reel, 3 row, 5 payline slot from iSoftBet with a gamified setup built around prize ladders and a cash pot. Stakes run from 0.20 to 20. RTP sits at 96.46% if I never collect, dropping to 95.08% if I always cash out. Volatility is medium and the max win is 500x, with a hit frequency of 24.8%, so about one in four spins connects. The loop is simple. Climb, weigh up the risk, and dodge the evil Genie.

Rise of the Genie Slot Information

The 3x3 grid sits to the left with a golden frame, while three prize ladders fill the right side and show what each step pays. Wins land on five lines, three horizontal and two diagonal. You collect with two or three matching symbols of the same colour. Every win climbs one of the ladders and feeds the cash pot, which I can collect at any time. If I cash out, all ladders reset. If the Genie turns up, he steals the pot and sends me back to the bottom.

Symbols come in three sets and three colours. Flower is the lower-paying set, book is medium, lamp is top. Green is least valuable, then blue, then red. Steps per win are fixed. Two green gives 1 step, two blue 2 steps, two red 3 steps. Three green gives 2 steps, three blue 3 steps, three red 4 steps. The left ladder caps at 50x, the right at 120x, the middle at 500x. A wild can land only on the middle reel.

Rise of the Genie Slot Features

Reaching the top of any ladder triggers Instant Pays. From there, each new relevant win awards fixed payouts that must be collected before the next spin. It pays 2.5x on the low ladder, 6x on the mid, and 25x on the top, with potential up to 50x, 120x, and 500x from sustained hits. The purple and golden Wild Symbol substitutes and appears only on reel two. The Cash Pot shows total ladder value. The Evil Genie can appear at random and reset everything if I have not cashed out.

The 200 Spins Rise of the Genie Slot Experience

I ran a 200 spin session to test the rhythm. Climbing felt steady when the book and lamp lined up, but the Genie was in a bad mood and popped in often, laughing as he wiped the pot. I pushed for the top a few times and tasted Instant Pays, which hit repeatedly while the ladder stayed full. The tension built as each small win pulled me higher. Cashing out early would have saved a few streaks, yet the thrill sat in not collecting.

Rise of the Genie Review Summary

iSoftBet has built a neat, entertaining concept here. The burst style risk sits under the surface, yet the flow feels balanced by the ladders and Instant Pays. Long term, the best play is to never collect the cash pot, which gives the 96.46% RTP and keeps the 500x potential in reach. Always collecting drops it to 95.08%. Medium volatility fits the stop-start nature of resets. I prefer to stay on top of a ladder and harvest instant prizes until the Genie shows.

There are trade-offs. No free spins, and auto-spins are off the table because Instant Pays must be collected. The game demands attention, yet the hits are frequent enough to keep me engaged. When the Genie is in a bad mood it gets annoying, but climbing two to four steps from a single win keeps sessions alive. For a compact 3x3 with five lines, the ladders give proper agency. I lean risky, sit on the top rung, and squeeze the mode for as long as luck holds.
