Genie
The Genie online scratchcard game at Hopa is a perfect example of how even the most straightforward of scratchcards can provide a wonderfully rich gaming experience with plenty of atmosphere. The basic concept of the game is simple: you have stumbled across a handful of magic lamps in a secluded cave, and rubbing a lamp results in a Genie emerging from it. Each Genie holds six precious stones, and if three of those stones are of the same type then you win a cash prize. Because this is a Hopa offering, each Genie game gives you a 1 in 3 chance of winning a prize, and the top prize is worth a rather magical £200,000.
Although the Genie online scratchcard game is as simple as we have just described, what makes it special is the way in which it is presented to the player. The graphical portrayal of the cave and its treasures is excellent, with the sparkling gold treasures in the foreground contrasting superbly with the dark bluish cave walls in the background. Four magic lamps are situated on the pile of treasure, and one of them is marked with the word Prize.
Audio is also very good in this game, with a slow rhythmic beat that runs through the soundtrack building a sense of tension from the outset. The haunting sound of a genie laughing echoes through the caves whenever you win a prize.
You start the Genie game by selecting your stake. You can of course play for free if you simply want to find out what all the fuss is about, but if you want to win real cash prizes you will need to bet some real money of your own. You can stake as little as 50p per game, and the more you stake the higher the potential prizes will be.
When you have set your stake, press the Play button and then click on each of the four magic lamps. When you click a lamp a hand will appear and rub the lamp in the traditional storybook manner. The Prize lamp will reveal the cash prize that you are playing for, but when the other lamps are rubbed a large green Genie will appear from each, as described earlier. If any of the three Genies happens to be holding three matching precious stones then the cash prize is yours.
There is no doubt that Genie will appeal to online scratchcards fans who like the gaming experience to be simple and straightforward, but don’t think that fact makes it any less satisfying than other games, because it doesn’t. In short, Genie is quite a magical game that really could grant you a jackpot-winning wish, and we highly recommend that you give it a go!
