Playability
The reels spinning on Arabian Nights Slot
Arabian Nights tries jazz up the traditional 3-column slot with 5, however whether other games have made this added level of complexity a fun bonus, Arabian Nights’ unclear directives make for just one more point of confusion and frustration. The game isn’t totally without merit and is definitely playable—however it is difficult to see why one would choose this game over others when it feels so lackluster in every aspect of its play.
A game that perhaps would have been enjoyable for a slots enthusiast a decade ago with few online choices, Arabian Nights sadly just doesn’t measure up to the plethora of snappy, innovative slots it competes with today. For online time travelers from the 1990s.
Music & Animation
Rather than a soothing nighttime atmosphere, the unresponsive animation and punctuated sounds between uncomfortable silence evokes frustration in the player In comparison to even the other slot games that NetEnt provides, the artwork and animation for this game in particular are disappointing, as if this machine was a beta test on what not to do. The only reason that I don’t give it a 1 out of 5 is that I feel somewhat sorry for it.

Summary
Arabian Nights is a 5-column slot machine game with, as you might have guessed it, an Arabian Nights “theme” and all that entails. The background shows starlit blue sandy dunes however the soundless gameplay evokes crickets chirp in the background without the aid of music. Compared to other games out there, the quality of the art and animation is sub-par, and the controls don’t feel responsive. This seems like a much older game than the rest of them.
