“Magic is in your hand.” The genie’s voice cuts through on the tenth spin. Smoke swallows the screen, and when it clears, the reels have moved, palace columns replaced by a treasure cave, coins scattered across the stone floor, a respin grid suspended in purple light above them. The Collect feature works methodically through every blue gem it finds, sweeping values off the board before the grid resets. IGT’s latest entry in the Mystery of the Lamp series doesn’t just swap a backdrop between bonus states; it commits to the transition, making the shift from Enchanted Palace to cave feel like an actual journey rather than a palette change.
Three gem scatters drive the entire bonus. Green gems fill the Boost jar, blue gems fill the Collect jar, and diamond gems fill the Jackpot jar. Each gem that lands anywhere on the reels during regular play flies up to its matching jar above the grid. When a jar breaks, it triggers the Mystery of the Lamp Bonus; when multiple jars break on the same spin, their features stack, up to three running simultaneously.
The visual fill levels are decorative rather than predictive, so a jar can look nearly full while an emptier one fires first. The trigger thresholds are hidden, so the accumulation animation creates atmosphere without functioning as a meter.
When the green Boost jar breaks, Boost gems appearing during bonus spins randomly select a value and apply it to every locked coin on the grid. Available boost amounts range from 0.25 to 20.00 at the 0.80 default bet. The boost hits all locked coins at once, so on a board with a dozen or more positions already filled, a single high-value boost can shift the round’s total significantly.
When the blue Collect jar breaks, Collect gems during bonus spins sweep the values of all coin symbols currently on the reels. The sum is added directly to the bonus win meter. Collect can trigger multiple times across the round, meaning the same locked coins contribute their value again each time a blue gem appears.

The Jackpot jar opens the largest grid and the highest-potential path. When active, the bonus expands to 30 individual reels, and diamond gems appearing on those reels fill positions under five jackpot meters on the left of the screen: Grand, Major, Maxi, Minor, and Mini. Filling all three gem slots under any meter awards that jackpot. The Grand can also be won by locking every one of the 30 reels. Major jackpots are capped at one per bonus round.
When the Boost, Collect, or both are active without the Jackpot, the bonus plays on a smaller 15-reel grid. Any combination involving the Jackpot feature doubles the playing field to 30 positions.
The gem collection runs parallel to every spin, not just during the bonus. Each time a green, blue, or diamond gem scatter lands anywhere on the five reels, it visually flies up to its matching jar and adds to the pile forming behind it. The buildup behind each jar creates a sense of progression, though how full a jar appears and when it actually breaks are not as connected as the visual implies.
Wins pay left to right across all 50 fixed paylines, with only the highest win counted per active line. The tiger wild substitutes for all standard symbols and appears exclusively on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 during regular spins. It does not replace gem scatters. A tiger roar accompanies each wild landing, and distinct audio cues mark when gems reach their jars.
Bet levels start at 0.80 and scale upward, with jackpot values moving proportionally. At the default bet, the five jackpot tiers sit at 10.00 (Mini), 25.00 (Minor), 100.00 (Maxi), 800.00 (Major), and 1,500.00 (Grand).
At the 0.80 default bet, the paytable reads as follows. Line wins shown are pre-multiplied by the total stake.

The three-jar trigger that earned the series a 2024 EKG Slot Award returns here with Boost and Collect features that prioritise immediate value over compounding complexity. The presentation leans into its Arabian palace setting with purple-and-gold reels, layered instrumentation, and a genie who physically escorts you into a treasure cave when the bonus fires. The themed artwork on the symbols does the job without pushing into premium territory, and the 94.22% RTP sits below what a feature set this layered probably deserves.
The soundtrack opens with layered Arabian instrumentation building into a melodic loop that sits underneath every spin without overwhelming it. The score is committed to its setting, and the visual design follows the same approach. Deep purple reels, ornate gold trim, marble columns framing the grid, and gem-studded jars that glow as they fill. IGT has always produced visually competent slots, and Enchanted Palace sits comfortably in the upper half of their catalogue on presentation alone.
The gem collection running above the reels is the most interesting part of regular play. Each gem that lands builds a visible pile behind its jar, and the temptation is to read that pile as a countdown. In our session, the Boost jar looked substantially fuller than the other two, yet the Collect and Jackpot both fired first. The visual feedback implies a connection that the trigger logic does not follow, which is a missed design opportunity. If the meters tracked actual proximity, the anticipation they generate would land differently.
Smoke swallows the reels as the lamp triggers the bonus entry transition.
Ten spins into free play at 0.80, the blue Collect jar broke. A genie lamp appeared on screen, followed by the genie herself, trailing smoke and delivering the line “magic is in your hand.” The screen transitioned into a treasure cave, with coins and gems lining the floor and the respin grid floating above. Five respins with the Collect active produced a running total of 3.25, and the counter climbed to six as new coins landed and the board filled. Only two empty positions remained at the finish, with a 7.75 total. Not a standout win, but earned naturally at minimum bet.
The Jackpot round followed shortly after, and the genie returned with the expanded 30-reel grid. Diamond gems landing on the board were assigned to jackpot meters on the left, each one filling a gem slot under Grand, Major, Maxi, Minor, or Mini. Six respins in, the meters were agonisingly close. One gem short for the Mini. One short for the Minor. One for the Maxi. One for the Major. All four near-misses in the same round. The genie collected the coins for a 26.00 finish, gold rained across the screen, and the game returned to the main reels.
The Jackpot round closes at 26.00 with every jackpot meter showing gems lit, but none of them complete.
Reviewed alongside Treasure Oasis, another similar entry in the series, the difference comes down to feature pairing. Treasure Oasis swaps Boost and Collect for Double and Ignite — features that compound coin values through multipliers and progressive boosting across the round. Enchanted Palace’s pairing is simpler and more front-loaded. Players who want immediate feedback from each bonus spin will prefer this version. Those who like watching values build through layered interactions will lean toward Treasure Oasis. Neither pulls ahead far enough to separate the two on score.
