Genie Game Review

The target the paytable actually calls "Genie" is not the best one in the game. That grinning classic genie pays a flat 60x, while his turbaned cousin swims through the same water worth anywhere from 100x to 500x. That small detail tells you what kind of game this is. Genie is a multiplayer fish shooter, not a reel game, so there are no paylines and no spins, only a cannon, a crowded seabed and a paytable of 14 targets. If you came looking for a lamp-and-wishes slot like 3 Genie Wishes, expect something closer to an arcade cabinet.

How the Fish Shooter Works

Up to four players share one screen, each with a cannon in a corner. You point, click or hold the mouse button, and every shot is a bet. The rules state plainly that wins are multiplied by the total bet, so a 20x hammerhead caught with a $2 shot returns $40.

Shots fly in the direction the cannon faces and bounce off the edges of the screen until they hit something. Turning the cannon afterwards does not change bullets already in the air. In the room our demo opened, the shot value started at $1 and climbed to $10 with the plus button, one step at a time. Our lobby asks you to pick a room before the first shot, so check the value panel next to your seat before firing.

KA Gaming makes other non-slot titles for short, fast sessions. PlinkoS is the studio's drop-the-ball alternative if you want the same instant pace without aiming.

Specs at a Glance

Paytable and Targets

Small fry fill most of the screen and pay 2x to 6x. Bigger multipliers belong to the sharks and rays, which cross the screen more slowly. The figures below come straight from the game's own paytable.

There is a clear gap between 30x and 60x. Nothing pays in that band, which means the three genies carry almost all of the upside. If big single hits are the goal, compare it with King Octopus, where the boss capture turns into a multiplier wheel instead.

The Three Genies

Classic Genie

Catching him pays 60x and sets off one of two effects. Either a chain reaction takes out a number of fish on screen at the same moment, or every fish freezes in place and stops moving. A freeze is the better outcome for an aimer, because the slow, valuable sharks become sitting targets.

Blue Genie

The turbaned blue genie pays between 100x and 500x. At a $10 shot value the top of that range is $5,000, the largest single figure the paytable shows.

Red Genie

The red genie sits one step below at 80x to 320x. His floor is higher than any regular fish, so even a bottom-end capture beats a blue shark.

Weapons and Controls

Three round buttons sit in the middle of the bottom edge. Lock fires straight at one chosen fish, shot after shot. Auto fires continuously without you holding anything down. Powerful Bullet swaps your shot for a heavier attack that catches targets more easily, at 6x the bet for every bullet.

The fine print on that last one matters. A Powerful Bullet win is calculated on your selected bet times the multiplier, not on the bullet's price. A $1 shot that costs $6 as a Powerful Bullet and lands a 10x jellyfish pays $10, so the upgrade only makes sense against the genies and big fish. Every shot draws from your casino balance, and it can be topped up in TON through our Toncoin casino lobby.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Three genie targets with multipliers from 60x up to 500x give every session a clear thing to chase.
• The paytable is short and printed in the game, with exact multipliers for all 14 targets.
• Lock and Auto take the strain out of long sessions.

Cons

• No RTP figure is published in the game rules.
• Regular fish stop at 30x, so the payout ladder has a long empty stretch below the genies.
• Powerful Bullet costs six times the stake without paying on that higher amount.

How to Play Genie

Pick a room, then set the shot value with the plus and minus buttons beside your seat. Aim by moving the cannon and click to fire, or hold the button for a steady stream. Switch on Lock when a genie appears so every shot follows him, and save Powerful Bullet for targets worth 60x or more.

The demo loads with a $100,000 play balance, and the other three seats show "Waiting for player" while you shoot alone. That makes it a free place to test how fast a $10 shot rate drains a balance, and how many bullets a shark soaks up before it goes down. The info button on the left edge opens seven help pages with the full paytable and rules.

If you prefer spinning to aiming, Ninja slot is the reel option from the same studio. For this one, load the free demo above, learn how the bullets bounce, then switch to real play and go after the blue genie.
