Crazy Genie in South Africa: the Wheel of Bonuses and Its Five Bonus Games
Crazy Genie is a Red Tiger slot released on 9 August 2017. The reels are a plain five by three with 20 lines; the game is built around what happens off them. A genie may come out of his lamp on any spin, either to throw coins for an instant prize or to start a bonus, and three Magic Lamp symbols spin the Wheel of Bonuses, which picks one of five bonus games. Red Tiger's page shows a High volatility badge and no Feature Buy.

What Crazy Genie looks like
Images: Red Tiger, official game page and game files (redtiger.com).
Twenty lines, a Wild and a lamp on reels 2 to 4
Red Tiger's page gives 3-3-3-3-3 as the reel layout and 20 as the most lines in play, so the base game is five reels of three rows paying along fixed lines. The game's help file adds only one rule for ordinary symbols: a Wild 'substitutes all paying symbols'. No paytable is published on the studio's page, so we give no symbol values here.
The Magic Lamp Bonus symbol is the scatter. By the help file, three of them on reels 2, 3 and 4 trigger the Wheel of Bonuses, and the genie 'dives into the wheel as it spins'. The studio's intro screen repeats the rule in its own words: 'Get 3 Magic Lamp Symbols on reels 2,3 and 4 to enter the bonuses'.
Red Tiger's page lists no Feature Buy for Crazy Genie. The only ways into a bonus are the three lamps and the genie himself.
The genie who can turn up on any spin
The help file says Crazy Genie 'may appear from the golden lamp at any time and can trigger all features and bonuses'. Red Tiger's page puts it as a spin of the Wheel of Bonuses, or a whirlwind across the reels that releases Crazy Coins wins. Each of the five bonus descriptions on the page ends with the same line: it 'may be awarded by the Wheel of Bonuses or directly by the Genie himself'.
Crazy Coins is the smaller of the two outcomes. The genie spins across the reels releasing coins for 'a random instant win prize', between 1x and 50x the stake by the help file. On a R1 spin that is R1 to R50, on R5 it is R5 to R250, by our arithmetic.
Neither source gives a chance for the genie to appear, for Crazy Coins against a bonus, or for any one bonus on the wheel. The wheel picture on the studio's page shows five segments of different sizes, but a picture is not a rule, so we draw no odds from it.
The five bonus games and their prize ranges 🎁
The range column is the game's own help file on Red Tiger's servers; the last column is the 'Win up to' figure on Red Tiger's game page. For three bonuses the two disagree, and neither source explains why, so both are given. All figures are multiples of the stake.
| Bonus | How it plays | Help file range | Studio page, up to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oasis Bonus | Hit the genie's lamp pinata-style to release coins | 5x to 100x | 100x |
| Lamp Bonus | Rub the lamp to build up stake multiplier prizes | 10x to 200x | 200x |
| Gift Bonus | Pick mystery gifts offered by the genie | 11x to 1000x | 1,179x |
| Gold Bonus | 2 to 6 spins of golden coins that reveal 1x to 9x or extra spins | 33x to 1000x | 1,068x |
| Treasure Bonus | Pick from a room full of treasure, possibly with a chance to pick again | 10x to 200x | 258x |
Picks and rubs that only look like choices
Three of the bonuses ask you to do something: rub the lamp, pick a gift, pick a treasure. The help file is direct about what that is worth. For the Lamp Bonus, 'the outcome of this bonus game is random, and the illusion of skill is for entertainment value only'. For the Gift Bonus, 'each of the gifts may reveal any of the possible prizes'. The Treasure Bonus carries both sentences.
So rubbing faster or choosing a particular object does not change the prize, by the game's own rules. Red Tiger's page still says 'Rub the Lamp quickly', which describes the animation, not a way to win more.
The Gold Bonus is the one with its own reel set. By the help file the genie triggers between 2 and 6 spins, throws golden coins before each spin, and no other symbols appear. A random number of coins land, each flipping to a multiplier between 1x and 9x or to extra Gold Bonus spins, and the accumulated multiplier is paid when the feature ends. On a R2 stake the help file's 33x to 1000x comes to R66 to R2,000, by our arithmetic.
What Red Tiger publishes: 22.57% of spins pay, 1,318x at the top
Of the numbers in the studio's fact strip, 22.57% is the hit frequency: roughly two spins in nine end with some win, by our arithmetic, over a long run. The percentage counts every paying spin alike, so a small win and a large bonus weigh the same in it.
Next to it stands 'Max payout' at 1,318x the bet: R263.60 on a R0.20 spin, R1,318 on R1 and R6,590 on R5, by our arithmetic. That is higher than any single bonus range in the help file, which tops out at 1000x, and neither source says how the 1,318x is reached. It is Red Tiger's figure, not a budget target.
Both official sites agree on the return, 96.22%. On volatility they use different scales: a High badge on redtiger.com, 'Mid / High' on games.evolution.com. Neither figure can be shifted by how you stake.

Pros, cons and verdict ⚖️
- Five different bonus games behind one trigger, each with its own range
- The genie can start a bonus or an instant prize on any spin
- The help file says plainly that picks and rubs are random
- Hit frequency, top payout and RTP are all published by the studio
- The studio's page and the game's help file give different bonus maximums
- No published chance for the genie, Crazy Coins or any wheel segment
- At 22.57% hits, most spins return nothing
- No paytable on the studio's page, so line wins cannot be checked there
Crazy Genie is a 2017 Red Tiger slot whose reels mainly serve as a way into five bonus games. The prize ranges are published, but the studio's page and the game's own help file disagree on three of them, and nothing says how often each bonus comes. Read the HELP screen at your casino before you play.
Crazy Genie FAQ ❓
How do you trigger the Wheel of Bonuses in Crazy Genie?
By the game's help file, three Magic Lamp Bonus symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 trigger it, and the wheel awards one of five bonus games. The genie can also award any of the five directly, appearing from his lamp on a spin.
What are the five bonus games?
Oasis Bonus, Lamp Bonus, Gift Bonus, Gold Bonus and Treasure Bonus. The help file gives their ranges as 5x to 100x, 10x to 200x, 11x to 1000x, 33x to 1000x and 10x to 200x the stake. Red Tiger's page quotes higher tops for Gift, Gold and Treasure.
Does picking or rubbing faster change the prize?
No. The help file says the Lamp and Treasure outcomes are random and 'the illusion of skill is for entertainment value only', and that each gift in the Gift Bonus may reveal any of the possible prizes.
How big can a win be in Crazy Genie?
Red Tiger's page lists a maximum payout of 1,318x the bet, which by our arithmetic is R1,318 on a R1 spin and R6,590 on R5. It is the studio's figure for the game, not a sum any session should expect.
Can you buy the bonus in Crazy Genie?
Red Tiger's page lists no Feature Buy for this game. Bonuses come only from three Magic Lamp symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 or from the genie appearing on a spin.
