  Genie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In pre-Islamic Arabian mythology and in Islam, a jinni (also "djinni" or "djini") is a member of the jinn (or "djinn"), a race of spirits.
As they are unique to each individual, Qareens would be the ones a psychic would summon after a person's death, such as in a séance, for the soul goes to God and the unruly Qareen would remain on earth and would, conforming to his malevolent nature, impersonate the deceased whose character he's familiar with.
In Islam-associated mythology, the jinn were said to be controllable by magically binding them to objects, as Suleiman (Solomon) most famously did; the Spirit of the Lamp in the story of Aladdin was such a jinni, bound to an oil lamp.

 Jinn
Jinni can be agents of good or evil, but most are mischievous and enjoy punishing humans for wrongs done them, even though these wrongs may have been done unintentionally.
Since that time the jinni population has dwindled dramatically as jinni succumbed to old age (jinni do age, but their lifespan can reach 2500 years) and to death by violence (the best defense against a jinn is another jinn).
Jinni are resistant to most forms of conventional harm, and elder jinni are vulnerable only to magical or psionic damage.

In Semitic and Arab mythology and Islamic religion, a jinni (also "jinni", "djinni", or "djini") is a member of the jinn (or "djinn"), a race of spirits.
The Arabs believed that the jinn were spirits of fire, although sometimes they associated them with succubi, demons in the forms of beautiful women, who visited men by night to copulate with them until they were exhausted, drawing energy from them similarly to how vampires suck blood.
In Islam-associated mythology, the jinn were said to be controllable by magically binding them to objects, as Sulayman ("Solomon" in most biblical transliterations) famously did; the Spirit of the Lamp in the story of Aladdin was such a jinni, bound to an oil lamp.

 ATPM 8.10 - Review: Jinni Zeala Pinball 1.1.6
Jinni Zeala has a pair of flippers at the bottom of the table and a staggered pair of flippers in the middle of the table.
Jinni Zeala exhibited realistic physics: the ball moved smoothly and accelerated appropriately, the bumpers reacted as expected, the switches had appropriate amounts of resistance, and the flippers were very responsive.
Jinni Zeala is a good pinball game, especially for expert players who can keep the ball in play while hitting the appropriate switches, holes, bumpers, etc. to reach the bonus levels.

The merchant, therefore, returned to his town, accomplished all that was upon his mind to do, paid every one what he owed him, and informed his wife and children of the event which had befallen him; upon hearing which, they and all his family and women wept.
And he had hardly sat down when there approached them a third sheykh, with a dapple mule; and he asked them the same question, which was answered in the same manner.
Immediately after, the dust was agitated, and became an enormous revolving pillar, approaching them from the midst of the desert: and this dust subsided, and behold, the Jinni, with a drawn sword in his hand; his eyes casting forth sparks of fire.

The jinni then started telling his story: He said he was sentenced by King Solomon to live in that small bottle in the bottom of the sea till the Day of Judgment.
It is in the way the psychological condition of the jinni is described, as he moves from one stage of waiting to another, that the aesthetic value of the tale lies.
When Al-Asha al-Bahili claimed to be taught by Mizhal the jinni, the only thing he expected from his audience was to marvel at the mystery of his words, he did not demand them to believe in them as truth.

 IMG Review: Jinni Zeala
Jinni Zeala, developed by LittleWing and published by MacPlay, has finally put me in my place in the form of a rather enjoyable if casual game.
As bright, stunning, flashy and gaudy as you’d expect the arcade version to be, Jinni Zeala succeeds in bringing the arcade experience to your Mac.
Jinni Zeala is simple, fun and remarkably addictive as only true pinball could ever be, and between the five major buttons you need to learn (the two flipper keys, the two “side nudge” keys and the plunger to launch the ball), an absolute cinch to learn to play.

Jinni Zeala's gameplay is just like every other pinball game known to man. You control flippers and hit a ball around a game board with them.
Jinni Zeala doesn't innovate upon the game of pinball with any new gimmicks; it just does pinball really well.
