How Sinbad works

The Sinbad slot was originally developed in 2013, but it was not adapted to the new online casinos since its format was not in HTML. The provider Quickspin decided to bring the Sinbad slot back to the present day by improving it, while keeping the classic features of the time, as well as the associated payouts. Sinbad might seem rather bland at first glance, but we'll try to prove you wrong today on Lucky7Bonus.

The game grid with its 5 reels and 3 lines for the first and last reels, then 4 lines for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th reels, tries to look like a flying carpet. As you will have quickly noticed, the universe is inspired by the movie Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas. The graphics are still correct for 2021, so players won't have the impression of going back in time too much. Especially thanks to the relatively well done wallpaper. The free spins features are interesting and already at that time players had two choices: more free spins, but less volatility or more volatility, but with less free spins. We will come back to this in detail in the section dedicated to the bonus. Regarding the basic game, a feature allows the same symbol to appear in a stacked fashion on the same reel. A way to make nice connections if you are a bit lucky. The volatility is low and this is the important point that will discredit the Sinbad slot machine from the provider Quickspin. The maximum payout is 750 times the original bet, which is relatively low in this day and age. We are used to seeing multipliers above 5000 with providers like Pragmatic Play or NoLimit City, for example. The theoretical return to player (RTP) is higher than the general average: 97.06%. Players will have the opportunity to wager between 40 cents and 80 Euros per spin at Lucky7Bonus' online casino partners.

The different symbols of Sinbad

There are many symbols present in the Sinbad slot machine. The Wild symbol is clearly the most interesting symbol, as it pays very well compared to the other symbols (and even the premiums!). It will replace all other symbols to create connections, except the Scatter symbol. The goal is to accumulate as many Wilds as possible to create a big connection and win a Wild payout, which can earn you up to 12.5 times your original bet. As far as the other symbols are concerned, be prepared to be quite disappointed as their potential is relatively low. Even the premium symbols won't pay out much compared to the wild. Here is a small overview of the maximum possible payouts with the different Sinbad symbols:

• The Sultan, the Salesman and the Veiled Woman can earn you up to 1.25 times your starting bet

• The Merchant and the Bearded Man can return up to 1x your original bet

• White and purple diamonds can pay up to 0.37 times your original bet

• Green, blue and orange diamonds can return up to 0.25 times your original bet

Understand that these payouts are quite disappointing and that you will really have to rely on the total number of paylines, the bonus feature and the wilds to try to hit the small Sinbad slot jackpot. The illustration below shows you the possible payouts for each symbol with a starting bet of €1.20.

The different connections in Sinbad

Fortunately, you can count on no less than 40 paylines to make great connections on this 5-reel game grid. At least 3 identical symbols are required for a connection to take place, in addition to being on the first reels from the left. Very classic operation for the different connections in Sinbad.

How the Sindbad bonus works

To unlock the free spins on the Sindbad slot machine, 3 Scatters symbols, represented as a boat, are required! As soon as you win free spins, you immediately win 2 times your original bet. You will then have a choice of 3 different bonus features, ranging from the most volatile (left) to the least volatile (right).

Here are the notable differences from the 3 bonus features:

• The monkey bonus is the most volatile feature with only 7 free spins, but the monkey will hit the game grid on every spin to create Sticky Wilds. They will remain until the end of the bonus feature, so this is the bonus that can pay you big.

• The Eagle bonus is medium volatile with 10 free spins. The player's goal will be to collect as many diamonds as possible to unlock Wilds during the spins. Collecting a total of 7 or 11 diamonds will allow you to unlock 2 or 4 additional free spins.

• The snake bonus is the least volatile feature with 12 free spins. From time to time, snakes will slither along the reels to make way for Wilds in their path.

For the impatient, it is unfortunately not possible to buy the bonus feature, you will have to wait to see the 3 Scatters land on your game grid.

Our opinion on Sinbad

There are not many slot machines dedicated to the world of Sinbad. Quickspin has accustomed us to beautiful artistic achievements for its slots and this is indeed the case with this remake of Sinbad, first of the name. The background will vary according to the bonus that the player will choose, the environments are beautiful and the animations well done. On the other hand, the gameplay may disappoint players who are used to slot machines with big potential and many features. The basic game will quickly get boring, while the bonuses can keep you entertained for about 30 minutes. But even the bonus won't allow you to win a huge jackpot, since the maximum payout is 750 times your initial bet, which is rather disappointing. The symbols only offer meager payouts during the base game, with the maximum being 12.5 times the bet with the Wilds and 1.25 times the bet for the best premium symbol. This can be quite hopeless for the player who would like to jump into this Quickspin slot machine. However, we invite you to play Sinbad for free at the top of this page, or for real money at Lucky7Bonus partner casinos, to see for yourself.
