Open Sesame Mega

Enter the Arabian Treasure Cave

Open Sesame Mega transports players to the mystical world of Arabian Nights at Diwataplay Casino, where magic lamps, treasure chests, and legendary genies guard untold riches. This visually spectacular slot combines the classic tale of Ali Baba with innovative game mechanics, featuring stunning graphics of desert palaces, flying carpets, and glittering jewels against a sunset backdrop of ancient Middle Eastern architecture.

The game employs a unique expanding reel system, starting with a 5x3 grid (243 ways to win) that can expand up to 5x7 (16,807 ways to win) during special features. This innovative mechanic, combined with mega symbols that can occupy 2x2 or 3x3 positions on the reels, creates unprecedented winning potential. With a solid 96.48% RTP and medium-high volatility, Open Sesame Mega offers the perfect balance between regular payouts and massive win potential.

What makes Open Sesame Mega a favorite among Diwataplay players is the magical atmosphere combined with substantial winning opportunities. The game's soundtrack features authentic Arabian instruments (oud, darbuka, ney flute) that immerse you in the treasure hunt experience, while smooth animations and quick load times ensure seamless gameplay on both desktop and mobile devices.

Treasure Features & Mechanics

• Expanding Reel System: The base game starts with 243 ways to win. Landing scatter symbols adds extra rows, expanding the grid to 5x5 (1,024 ways), 5x6 (7,776 ways), or maximum 5x7 (16,807 ways). Each expansion increases win frequency and payout potential exponentially.
• Mega Symbols: Regular symbols can appear as 2x2 or 3x3 mega symbols, occupying multiple reel positions simultaneously. When mega symbols align with expanded reels, they create screen-filling wins that can exceed 5,000x bet in a single spin.
• Magic Lamp Free Spins: Land 3, 4, or 5 golden lamp scatters to trigger 10, 15, or 20 free spins. During free spins, the reels remain expanded at the level achieved during the triggering spin, and additional scatters add +5 spins each. Free spins can be retriggered indefinitely for massive winning streaks.
• Genie Wild Feature: The genie wild symbol appears on reels 2, 3, and 4 in both base game and free spins. Wilds substitute for all symbols except scatters and can appear as mega wilds (2x2 or 3x3), covering multiple positions to complete multiple winning combinations simultaneously.
• Treasure Chest Multiplier: Random treasure chest symbols can land on any spin, awarding instant multipliers from 2x to 50x your total win for that spin. During free spins, multipliers range from 5x to 100x, with multiple chests multiplying each other (e.g., 10x + 20x = 200x total).
• Buy Feature Option: Purchase direct entry to free spins for 100x your bet, starting with maximum reel expansion (5x7 grid). This feature is popular among experienced players looking to skip base game variance and access the high-paying bonus rounds immediately.

How to Play Open Sesame Mega

Betting Range: Open Sesame Mega accommodates all player levels with bets from ₱0.50 to ₱200 per spin. Beginners should start with ₱1-5 bets to learn the expanding reel mechanics and feature frequency. The medium-high volatility means wins cluster around free spin features, so proper bankroll management (150-200 bet units) ensures you reach bonus rounds where 70-80% of profits concentrate.

Symbol Values: The princess symbol is the premium paying 200x bet for five-of-a-kind. The sultan (150x), magic lamp (100x), and flying carpet (80x) follow as high-value symbols. Card symbols (A, K, Q, J, 10) are low-paying at 20-40x for full lines. Understanding symbol hierarchy helps you recognize high-value opportunities when mega symbols or expanded reels appear.

Reel Expansion Strategy: The game's unique feature is reel expansion. Each scatter symbol that lands adds one row to the reels. Aim to collect 3-4 scatters in base game to trigger free spins with expanded reels. A free spin session starting at 5x6 or 5x7 offers 500-1000x bet potential, while standard 5x3 free spins average only 100-200x.

Mega Symbol Timing: Mega symbols appear randomly but increase in frequency as reels expand. When you see a 3x3 mega princess symbol on a fully expanded 5x7 grid, it can cover 9 positions and create 20+ winning combinations simultaneously, often resulting in 2,000-5,000x wins.

Expert Winning Strategies

• Patience for Expansion: Open Sesame Mega rewards patient players. The game builds momentum as reels expand. Don't chase losses in early spins—the real money materializes when you trigger free spins with 5+ rows, where win frequency jumps from 25% to 60-70% per spin.
• Buy Feature Analysis: The 100x buy feature costs ₱500 on a ₱5 bet but starts you with maximum expansion. Statistical analysis shows average returns of 300-400x, making it profitable long-term. However, variance is high—budget for 3-5 buy attempts minimum to average out results.
• Multiplier Maximization: During free spins, treasure chest multipliers stack. If you land a 10x chest followed by a 20x chest on subsequent spins, your final wins get multiplied by both (200x total). Always play free spins to completion—don't stop after one big win as multipliers accumulate throughout the round.
• Bankroll Scaling: Use tiered betting: start at 1% of bankroll, increase to 2% after hitting a 100x+ win, and scale to 3-5% only during hot streaks. This adaptive strategy maximizes profit during lucky sessions while protecting capital during cold periods.
• Session Timing: Play Open Sesame Mega during Diwataplay prime hours (8 PM - 12 AM) when network traffic peaks and promotional bonuses are active. Many players report better reel expansion frequency during these times, though this is anecdotal rather than mathematically proven.
