Djinn of Storms Slot by Playtech

The stacked djinn is what you're spinning for. He rises out of purple smoke three cells tall, enough to blanket a full reel, and the instant one covers a reel the Wild Djinn Respins begin. Then he walks. Each respin slides that stacked wild one reel to the left and lifts a win multiplier a step, climbing 1x, 2x, 3x and then jumping straight to 5x, skipping 4x altogether. Whatever paylines he sits across pay at the multiplier showing. Land a fresh stacked djinn mid-round and the respins keep coming with no retrigger limit, ending only once the last one drifts off the left edge with nothing new to replace it.

That shifting wild is where the 2,500x ceiling comes from, since the paytable itself is tame. The evil sultan at the top, a turbaned figure with glowing eyes and a jewelled sceptre, returns 20x total bet for five, and the green-clad princess, the hooded cobra and the golden lamp all pay under that. Jewelled card royals rest on coloured Moorish-tile diamonds below them. Because the djinn stands in for every paying symbol and only ever lands as a stack, a single reel of him is often what flips a flat spin into the respin round to begin with.

The PowerPlay jackpot bolted on top isn't the usual all-networked trio. Two of its three tiers are fixed prizes, a Mini around £200 and a Peak near £3,000, each paying a set amount. Only the Mega is a real progressive, seeded near £20,000 and climbing. Any of the three can hit at random, unlinked to what the reels do, and none light up in fun-money play. No bonus buy, no ante, so past the 25 lines it's the respins and that jackpot draw doing all the work.

It all plays out in front of a sunlit Arabian palace, blue onion domes and sandstone arches behind swaying palms under a bright midday sky.
