About Aladdin and the Sorcerer
Aladdin and the Sorcerer is a Pragmatic Play slot released on 4 November 2019, on a grid of five reels and three rows carrying 20 paylines. Our listing dated it to April 2017: the error spanned two and a half years, and it placed the game in a technical generation that is not its own.
The title rests on two characters that do not appear on the same reels and do not serve the same purpose. Aladdin and the Sorcerer are bonus symbols. When one of them lands alone, it casts a spell that adds between three and six randomly placed wilds to the grid before wins are calculated. It is the game's most frequent feature, and it is enough to turn a losing spin into a mid-sized win with no further ceremony.
When both symbols land on the same spin, the game switches into its main feature, which Pragmatic presents as "unlimited free spins" and which the mechanic describes more honestly as a duel with respins. Reels 1 and 5 fill entirely with wilds and the respins chain together. Each character holds a three-segment health bar: when Aladdin's symbol lands, the Sorcerer loses a segment, and vice versa. The round continues as long as both bars still hold something, which explains the unlimited promise — the length is not set in advance, it depends on the fight.
What is at stake in the duel is not the immediate payout but reaching level 2. If Aladdin empties the Sorcerer's bar, the game awards three extra spins with locked wilds. The first of those three plays with no multiplier, the second applies 2x to the lines involving the sticky wilds, and the third applies 3x. That is where — and only where — the game's ceiling becomes reachable.
The consequence needs stating plainly: reaching the duel guarantees nothing. If the Sorcerer wins, the feature ends on whatever the respins produced, with no level 2 and no multiplier. This two-stage structure sits closer to a modifier game than to a classic free spins round, and it explains the high volatility recorded by the catalogues — 4.5 out of 5 at BigWinBoard.
The ordinary wild is confined to the middle reels 2, 3 and 4 in the base game. It substitutes for all paying symbols and pays in its own right up to 50x the stake for five across a line, a fair value for a substitute.
The default RTP is 96.23%, a figure published by Pragmatic Play on its official page. As almost always with this studio, reduced configurations exist: 95.50% and 94.51% are documented, up to 1.72 points lower. Stakes run from 0.20 € to 100 € per spin, and there is no bonus buy on this title.
One reservation remains on the ceiling: SlotCatalog gives 6,532x the stake, BigWinBoard 6,250x. We keep 6,532x, the value already in our database and confirmed by SlotCatalog, while flagging the gap.
