3 Magic Lamps: Hold and Win

3 Magic Lamps: Hold and Win Overview

3 Magic Lamps: Hold and Win is an Arabian Nights coin slot from Playson, released on 29 February 2024. It plays on a grid of five reels and four rows with 25 paylines, and three enchanted lamps stand above the reels. SlotCatalog lists a 95.76% RTP (the game is offered in several RTP versions), medium-high volatility, a hit frequency of 15.76% and a maximum win of 16,746x. Stakes run from 0.20 to 100.

The Four Jackpots

The jackpot plaques frame the logo at the top of the screen. At a 10.00 stake they read:

• Mini: 150.00 – 15x
• Minor: 500.00 – 50x
• Major: 1,500.00 – 150x
• Grand: 50,000.00 – 5,000x

Unlike in some coin games, the Grand is not the ceiling here: the published 16,746x maximum is more than three times the top jackpot. SlotCatalog lists free spins with a multiplier and extra free spins among the features, which is where the room above the Grand comes from.

The Three Lamps

A green, a red and a blue lamp stand over the reels, labelled Double, Mystery and Collect. They work like the pots in Playson’s other games of this kind: they gather energy during play and bring their feature into the bonus round. The blue lamp’s feature is described in the game itself: “Collect feature – collects all values from the reels”.

What Our Bonus Round Showed

At a 10.00 stake, the trigger spin landed coins of 70, 10, 70, 30 and 30 together with a blue lamp coin. The game then announced the Bonus Game with Collect feature, and the board filled up with coins of 10 to 70, plus a larger collected value of 210.

The round closed with a total win of 530.00 – 53x the bet. For comparison, that is a little over the Minor jackpot and about a third of the Major.

Following the Collect Lamp

One number on the final board explains the whole Collect feature. The blue lamp coin that started the round ended up showing 210.00 – and the five coins on the trigger spin were 70 + 10 + 70 + 30 + 30 = 210. The lamp had collected every value on the reels at that moment, exactly as the game’s description promises, and turned five ordinary coins into one large one.

That is why the Collect lamp is the one to hope for: instead of a single coin value, it brings the sum of everything already on the reels into the round.

Wilds and Base Game Wins

The wild is a golden lamp marked WILD, and it can land on several reels at once – one of our spins had three of them on the grid without a paying line, a reminder that wilds need matching symbols to work with. The symbols include the genie, the sultan, a princess, a scimitar, a flying carpet, a diamond and an emerald ring, with card royals for the smaller wins.

At the 10.00 stake our line wins were 84.00 for a line of Js completed by wilds, 44.00 and 40.00 for a line of princesses. The 84.00 spin is the kind of base-game win the wild makes possible: 8.4x the bet from the lowest symbol on the grid.

The Jackpots at Every Stake

The jackpots are fixed multiples of the bet, so they scale in a straight line:

• At the 0.20 minimum: Mini 3, Minor 10, Major 30, Grand 1,000
• At 10.00: Mini 150, Minor 500, Major 1,500, Grand 50,000
• At the 100 maximum: Mini 1,500, Minor 5,000, Major 15,000, Grand 500,000

The Numbers at a Glance

Five reels, four rows and 25 fixed lines; a 95.76% RTP in the version SlotCatalog lists; medium-high volatility; a hit frequency figure of 15.76 on SlotCatalog; and a published ceiling of 16,746x – more than three times the 5,000x Grand.

Graphics and Setting

The reels sit in a golden palace frame in front of blue onion domes and palm trees under a purple evening sky. The three lamps glow in their own colours, and the coin round keeps the palace in the background so the gold coins stand out against the dark grid.

Same Mechanic, Different Theme

3 Magic Lamps shares its jackpot ladder and three-feature idea with Playson’s Irish-themed 3 Pots Riches Extra: Hold and Win, where the pots do the same job as the lamps here. The difference is in the ceiling: the Irish game stops at its 5,000x Grand, while 3 Magic Lamps publishes a maximum of 16,746x.

Who It Is For

3 Magic Lamps: Hold and Win suits players who like coin rounds with extra layers. The lamps give the base game something to build towards, the Collect feature makes the bonus add up visibly, and the four fixed jackpots are easy to follow at any stake. Medium-high volatility means the bonus does not arrive on every session, but when it does the board can add up fast.
