Genie's 3 Wishes is PG Soft's take on Aladdin, released in 2020, and its title is also its main feature: when the free spins trigger, you choose one of three wishes. Twelve spins with only the rich symbols, eight spins with wilds that walk across the reels, or five spins with a multiplier that grows by five every spin. Around that choice sits a 243-ways base game with wilds that double wins and a Wild Wishes feature that drops whole reels of wilds mid-spin. I played the demo below at 90.00 and 75.00 a spin, and one Wild Wishes spin paid 3,447.00.

Three wishes: which free spins to choose
Three, four or five lamp scatters anywhere trigger the feature, and the choice is the same whatever the count. If you do not pick within 30 seconds, the game picks a mode at random. The scatter does not appear during free spins, so there is no classic retrigger; the only way to extend a round is the +1 Free Spin symbol, which adds one spin each time it lands.
The first two wishes change the reels. In the 12 free spins with high payout symbols, every card symbol from A to 9 is removed, so only the six picture symbols, the wild and the +1 symbol can land. In the 8 free spins with travelling wilds, any wild that appears stays on the board and moves one reel to the left on each following spin until it reaches reel one, so a wild that lands on reel five is in play for five spins.
The third wish changes the payout instead. In the 5 free spins with increasing multiplier, the first spin is paid at x5 and every free spin adds five more, up to a cap of x100.
Five spins run at x5, x10, x15, x20 and x25, which adds up to 75. If every spin paid the same base win, the round would be worth 75 of them, against 12 or 8 in the other modes, although those modes have richer reels. The x100 cap belongs to the 20th free spin, so you would need fifteen +1 symbols to see it. For comparison, the multiplier in Captain's Bounty free spins stops at x15. Side by side, the three wishes look like this:
| Wish | Spins | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| High payout symbols | 12 | A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 removed from the reels |
| Travelling wilds | 8 | Wilds stay and step one reel left each spin |
| Increasing multiplier | 5 | x5 on the first spin, +5 per spin, cap x100 |
243 ways and a wild that doubles
The base game is a 5x3 grid with 243 fixed ways and a base bet of 25. Wins pay from the leftmost reel on adjacent reels, the number of matching symbols on each reel is multiplied together, and the symbol's pay is multiplied by that number. The rules show it with a symbol on one, three and two positions of the first three reels: 1 x 3 x 2 = 6 ways, so a pay of 10 becomes 60.
The genie is the wild. It substitutes for everything except the scatter and the +1 Free Spin symbol, pays 80, 200 and 1,250 on its own, and any win that includes a wild is doubled. The opening screen shows two of them on reels two and four, next to a lamp scatter on reel three.
Wild Wishes: whole reels of wilds
While the reels spin in the base game, the genie can add one to five stacked wilds to the board. The x2 for wins with wilds does not apply on a Wild Wishes spin, but a full wild reel triples the ways for every symbol that reaches it, which can more than make up for it when two or three reels turn.
That is what happened on my 75.00 spin. Reels three and five turned fully wild while the other reels were still spinning, and the result was a Super Mega Win of 3,447.00, about 46x the stake:
The win banner covers the final board, so I cannot list the ways that paid. The Wild Wishes screen and the banner show the same 99,550.00 balance and 75.00 stake four seconds apart, so the win belongs to that spin.
The lamp pays on its own
The lamp scatter has its own pays, counted anywhere on the reels: 25 for two, 50 for three, 500 for four and 5,000 for five, multiplied by bet size and level. With a base bet of 25 that is the stake back for two lamps, 2x for three, 20x for four and 200x for five, on top of the free spins.
Here two lamps on reels three and five paid 75.00 on a 75.00 stake: 25 x 0.30 x 10 = 75.00. They are not on adjacent reels, which is the point of a scatter.
Paytable per way
Paytable values are multiplied by bet size and level, and a spin costs 25 times that product, so dividing by 25 shows what one way is worth against the stake.
Five genies on one way are 50x the stake before the x2, and the picture symbols cluster between 8x and 16x. That narrow spread is why the 12 high-payout spins are a real option rather than a gimmick:
| Symbol | 3 / 4 / 5 of a kind | 5 of a kind vs stake, per way |
|---|---|---|
| Genie (wild) | 80 / 200 / 1250 | 50x |
| Turban helmet | 25 / 80 / 400 | 16x |
| Ruby amulet | 25 / 80 / 350 | 14x |
| Sapphire ring | 15 / 60 / 300 | 12x |
| Daggers | 15 / 60 / 280 | 11.2x |
| Goblet | 12 / 50 / 250 | 10x |
| Coin pouch | 12 / 50 / 200 | 8x |
| A, K | 8 / 20 / 125 | 5x |
| Q, J | 6 / 15 / 100 | 4x |
| 10, 9 | 4 / 12 / 80 | 3.2x |
Genie's 3 Wishes by the numbers
PG Soft's game page lists a 96.75% RTP and a 100,000x maximum win. I found no public information sheet for the game, so the hit frequency, largest recorded win and release date below come from SlotCatalog; the volatility is PG Soft's:
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Provider | PG Soft |
| Released | October 2020 (SlotCatalog) |
| Reels / ways | 5 x 3, 243 fixed ways, base bet 25 |
| Wild | x2 on wins with a wild; Wild Wishes adds 1 to 5 stacked wilds |
| Free spins | Choice of 12 high-payout, 8 travelling-wild or 5 multiplier spins |
| Scatter pays | 25 / 50 / 500 / 5000 for 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 |
| RTP | 96.75% |
| Volatility | Medium (PG Soft) |
| Hit frequency | 28.67% (SlotCatalog) |
| Max win | 100,000x cap; 3,213x listed by SlotCatalog |
| Bet in the demo | 0.75 to 225 per spin |
The 100,000x is a cap, and the 3,213x on SlotCatalog is a more useful picture of the top end. Like the other PG Soft mobile slots, the game is built for a phone held upright; on a desktop it runs in a portrait column, as in the screenshots on this page.
Bet: 0.75 to 225 in the demo
The demo opens at 15.00. The Bet Options panel multiplies a bet size, a bet level from 1 to 10 and the base bet of 25: my two stakes were 0.90 x 4 x 25 = 90.00 and 0.30 x 10 x 25 = 75.00.
Bet sizes run from 0.03 to 0.90, so a spin costs from 0.75 (0.03 x 1 x 25) to 225.00 (0.90 x 10 x 25). Real-money limits depend on the casino and the currency.

Verdict
Genie's 3 Wishes is one of the busier PG Soft designs: wilds that double, a lamp that pays on its own, a Wild Wishes feature that can turn a spin into a 46x hit, and a free spins round where you choose the risk. The multiplier wish is the gamble, the high-payout wish is the steady one, and the travelling wilds sit in between. If you would rather have multipliers that turn up in ordinary spins, Speed Winner adds them to the base game; here, play the demo a few times and try each wish before you settle on a favourite.
