IGT I Dream of Jeannie
International Game Technology brought out all the stops on this “I Dream of Jeannie”. One of the most exciting parts is that Barbara Eden’s actual voice is on board to reprise her role as Jeannie, the buxom genie who brought mirth and mischief to the life of a straight-laced astronaut. I Dream of Jeannie is a 5 reel, 9 line slot machine for a maximum credits played of 450. Some of the bonus rounds offer 1000x odds, so the payback on I Dream of Jeannie is quite attractive
Barbara Eden, the actress who played Jeannie on the popular sixties television show, does the voice work on this game. You’ll feel like Larry Hagman every time “Jeannie” calls you master. Jeannie continues to sweet talk the player through his or her session. Barbara Eden might not be able to pull off the harem girl look any more, but her voice remains as seductively sweet as ever. Jeannie’s voice appears whenever bonus rounds and other major events transpire in the game.
There is a 3 Wishes bonus, which randomly chooses 3 bonus “wishes” for the player. There is also a bonus spin feature where 5 genie bottles appear on the screen. You choose one of the bottles, whereupon it is revealed how many bonus spins you’ve gained. If I had my wish, I Dream of Jeannie would be a progressive slot machine. It seems to me that a game with a genie and three wishes would really play off a jackpot nicely, but maybe that would be better for a leprechaun-themed game. The top jackpot on I Dream of Jeannie is $50,000. Along with all of the bonus features and the harem girl imagery, Jeannie isn’t a bad way to spend time in a casino.
It’s nice to see IGT constantly tries to improve its products. It’s also nice to see Barbara Eden still getting work. Jeannie was always a favorite of mine growing up, as she was one of the most attractive women on television. What boy didn’t want to have a blonde like her to grant them wishes? Now that we’re all older, we’d prefer the money to the girl, which is why International Game Technologies is once again ahead of the curve.
