Mystery of the Lamp emphasizes continuous engagement through incremental progression. Regular spins across the five reels generate standard wins with Wild assistance. Gem symbols serve a separate role, filling visible meters that gradually approach activation of the lamp bonus. Once triggered, three spins commence, each refreshed when a new prize icon appears. Locked symbols remain for the round, displaying cash amounts or jackpots. The combination of regular payouts and visible milestones provides a sense of structure and purpose, allowing Mystery of the Lamp to maintain consistent player focus over time.
