Jack O’Lantern’s Mystery Mirror Slot Review

Jack O’Lantern’s Mystery Mirror Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Jack O’Lantern’s Mystery Mirror slot is played across 5 reels, 4 rows, and 40 fixed paylines. Winning combinations are created by landing 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols from left to right, across any payline.

You can play Jack O’Lantern’s Mystery Mirror for 40p to £400 per spin. To change your stake, you simply need to click the coins icon below the reels. You’ll then find a menu of pre-set bet amounts. It would be nice to have more control over your wager, but luckily there’s a pre-set amount suitable for all budgets. Players outside the UK can also use an autoplay feature, which allows the game to play between 10 and 100 spins on your behalf.

Jack O’Lantern’s Mystery Mirror has an RTP of 94.95%, which is lower than the 96% average for online slots, and exactly the same as the slot’s precursor Casper’s Mystery Mirror.

Whilst the RTP is low, the slot does have a high volatility and max wins of 50,000 x your total stake. Bigger wins come from the free spins round and stacked mystery symbols.

Theme – classic Halloween high jinks

As the name suggests, Jack O’Lantern’s Mystery Mirror has a classic Halloween theme. The reels hang against a candlelit attic, where potions line the shelves. The soundtrack is tense, but the graphics themselves feel a little stale.

The slot’s illustrations are basic and the animation is limited. It’s almost like the attic is a time-machine, transporting you back 10 years before many of the best slots came to be. That said, maybe it’s intentional. If Stranger Things can make millions from this type of horror-nostalgia, then old-school graphics might be exactly what some players are looking for.

Low value symbols include A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 royals. You’ll also find candlesticks, spell books, candy-filled pumpkins, and witch hats. The Jack O’Lantern wild is the highest value symbol, with 3 4 or 5 in a combination paying 1.25, 5, or 12.5 x your total stake.

The wild symbol also substitutes for all symbols except the scatter and the mystery mirror symbol. It also often appears stacked, giving you more chances to create winning combinations.

Jack O’Lantern’s Mystery Mirror Bonus Features

Jack O’Lantern’s Mystery Mirror comes with just 1 bonus feature in the form of a free spins round. This might seem underwhelming at first, but it has the potential to deliver big wins if you stack up mystery symbols and wilds.

Free Spins feature

The scatter symbol is a literal illustration of the slot’s title, combining a jack o’lantern with a mystery mirror. Landing 3 scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4 gives you 5 free spins and 1 x your total stake.

When the free spins feature begins, Mystery Mirror symbols are added onto the reels. These symbols always appear stacked, covering up to 4 positions on a single reel. After each free spin ends, any Mystery Mirror symbols in sight will transform into the same random symbol. This can be a normal symbol or a wild. Naturally, this can lead to huge winning combinations. In fact, if you fill the screen with mystery symbols, which then transform into wilds, you’ll win a staggering 1,000x your bet.

Finally, you can also retrigger the free spins by landing three more scatters during the bonus game. Each retrigger gives you 5 more spins, up to a maximum of 255 free spins.

Jack O’Lantern’s Mystery Mirror Summary – more simple than spooky

The Jack O’Lantern’s Mystery Mirror slot holds no spooky surprises. The design is simple. and there’s nothing innovative about the game’s bonus features. In fact, the gameplay is almost identical to Casper’s Mystery Mirror.

That said, familiarity and simplicity are not always bad things. The slot definitely delivers Halloween vibes and, whilst it might be unoriginal, there’s at least big wins to be had. Collecting mystery mirror symbols in the free spins round gives you your best chance of winning the maximum 50,000 x stake payouts.

Overall, you’ll enjoy Jack O’Lantern’s Mystery Mirror if you’re still a fan of its sister slot, or if you’re looking for a quick seasonal spin. There are plenty of Halloween slots around, however, so it’s disappointing that Blueprint Gaming hasn’t come up with a more unique take, or at least souped up the graphics a bit.
