Ali Baba's Luck Power Reels Review

The original Ali Baba's Luck hasn’t managed to keep a high placing on the Book of ... mechanic chart, which is a bit surprising since it’s a highly entertaining game. Ali Baba's Luck Power Reels is the third installment, as Ali Baba's Luck Megaways was released in between, and it comes with a solid 8 reels grid with 6 rows and 30 paylines.

Fans will recognize the core mechanics, as they are the same as in the 2 previous releases. Visually, nothing much has changed either, except for the size of the grid. We still find the winning symbols turn golden expanding mechanic exciting, and even more so when golden symbols don’t reset in the bonus round. The 12,960x potential is solid, although far from what you get in the Megaways version.

Ali Baba's Luck Power Reels Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 25 and 200 x your stake for 8 of a kind wins, and winning symbols become highlighted on the meter above the grid. All highlighted symbols become potential special expanding golden symbols on the next spin, which means they expand to cover the full reels and pay even if the symbols are not adjacent.

‘Lucky Wilds’ can appear on reels 2 to 7, and these are fully expanded wilds that always cover entire reels. The wilds substitute for pay symbols like wilds usually do, but they will also connect with golden expanded symbols. This means that also the wild doesn’t need to be adjacent to connect when symbols expand. If more than one, the symbols will expand one after another.

The Lucky Round (bonus round) triggers when you land 4+ treasure chest dream spin symbols anywhere in view. Each additional triggering scatter above the minimum of 4 awards +2 extra dream spins. The number of dream spins is determined by a wheel spin, and between 4 and 16 spins will be awarded by default. Highlighted golden symbols remain active for the duration of the feature, which means up to all 9 symbols can become special expanding symbols.

You get to see a near-miss scatter teaser and an expanded symbol lucky wild win, before we finally trigger the bonus round at 1:21 into the 4-minute highlights video. We got 8 dream spins from the lucky round wheel spin, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

A Power Reels installment seems like a natural choice after the previous Megaways release, and with 8 reels you certainly get to see some expanding symbol action. The fully expanded lucky wilds meshes perfectly with this concept, and it makes the base game a lot more interesting than the standard ‘Book of’ mechanic releases. ‘Book of’ purists might disagree, but we find it refreshing to have expanding symbols also in the base game.

The game flows smoothly all the way, and it adds up to a pleasing 1001 Nights-inspired audiovisual experience. We would’ve preferred a fixed number of free spins instead of risking getting only 4, but you probably don’t mind as long as you get a decent amount. The 12,960x potential is lower than the Megaways version, but still more than solid enough compared to most ‘Book slots’. Overall, Ali Baba's Luck Power Reels is well worth trying, not least if you enjoyed the previous releases.
