Arabian Nights
RTP settings, and who runs which
NetEnt lists the RTP below for Arabian Nights. On a progressive jackpot game part of each bet feeds the jackpot pool, so the base game returns less than the headline figure.
| Setting | RTP | House edge | Casinos on this setting |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full | 96.25% | 3.75% |
How Arabian Nights plays
Arabian Nights is one of NetEnt’s long-running progressive jackpot slots: five reels, three rows and 10 lines, with a desert-palace theme. The listing we checked gives a release date of 10 November 2013; the game itself has been around longer than that in some markets.
The sheikh wild substitutes for other symbols and is also the key to the progressive. The full jackpot is tied to a line of wilds at maximum bet, so a lower bet cannot win the top prize. Three or more scatters start the free spins, where every win is tripled.
Volatility in practice
Medium in the base game. Lines pay regularly, and the free spins with a 3x multiplier give most of the non-jackpot value. The progressive changes the picture: it is a very rare event, and the part of each bet that feeds it is money the base game does not return to you.
RTP settings
The listed RTP is 96.25%, and that figure includes the jackpot contribution. Unless you hit the jackpot, your expected return is lower than the headline. Jackpot availability also varies by casino and market, so check the paytable to confirm the progressive is live before you play for it.
