Magician’s Secrets Slot Review

Magician’s Secrets Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Magician’s Secrets slot is played on 6 reels, 4 rows and comes with 4,096 ways to win. Wins are awarded for matching combinations formed from left to right, beginning from reel 1.

Spin away from 10p to £100 per bet. Some slots only go as low as 20p, so it’s nice to see that this game caters to those who prefer even lower stakes. Use the + and – button next to the spin button to move the stake value up and down to suit you. Autoplay is also an option in some territories.

The Magician’s Secrets RTP is 96.51%, which is well above the average of 96% for an online slot and better than many slots on the market today. But please note that the variance here is high, so don’t expect big wins too often.

The maximum win is 5,000 x your total stake. The best chance you have of landing this is during the Free Spins feature due to the possible retriggers that can lead to many free spins and numerous multipliers.

Theme – spellbinding graphics

The theme is a very magical one, with a melodic and mysterious soundtrack playing as the reels spin in what looks like a library with a glass roof. It could well be where the magician works his magic, with books and scrolls everywhere as well as a revolving globe to the right of the reels.

Trigger the Free Spins bonus feature and the mood changes, with faster music and lava pouring from statues in the background. It makes for an intense bonus round, but an exciting one that could potentially pay out large sums if you’re lucky.

On the reels in the Magician’s Secrets slot game, you’ll come across common lower value card symbols – club, heart, spade, and diamond. There’s also a shield symbol that makes up the lower value collection.

The higher value symbols include magic potion bottles, daggers, chalices, necklaces and books of dark magic. The book of dark magic is the most lucrative symbol, paying 1, 3, 10 or 50 x your stake for 3, 4, 5 or 6 in combination respectively.

There’s also your typical Wild symbols, which substitutes for all except the Scatter. Land 3 of those Scatter symbols to trigger the Free Spins feature. The game’s Scatter also pays up to 2,000 x you stake, which is very generous.

Magician’s Secrets Mobile

This game is available to play on all iOS and Android devices including tablets and smartphones. The colourful visuals and the exciting gameplay make the Santa’s Wonderland mobile slot great to play on smaller screens.

Magician’s Secrets Bonus Features

There are 3 bonus features in the Magician’s Secrets slot game, with the main one being the Free Spins feature. Let’s elaborate on them all so that you can understand the game fully and what’s available to you.

Expanding Wilds

Whenever a wild lands during the base game, it can randomly expand to fill the whole reel vertically. It also comes with a multiplier attached of between 2x and 10x. The good news here is that this will apply to all winning combinations that include the expanding wild.

Free Spins feature

Land 3 or more scatters in the base game to trigger the Free Spins feature. Before the bonus round begins, you will need to choose 1 of two types of free spins:

For the first choice, 10 free spins are awarded. Whenever a wild lands on reels 3 or 4 during the round, it will fill the whole reel and trigger a respin. The response will keep happening, awarding all wins after each one until no win lands.

Each respin will increase the multiplier by 1x on the expanded wild and that multiplier will apply to all wins that include the expanded wild. If 2 expended wilds land during the respins, the multipliers will multiply together.

Landing 3 or more scatters during the bonus round will retrigger the feature, with no retrigger limits.

With the second choice, 8 free spins are awarded. A random paying symbol is chosen before the round starts, and it will transform into a wild if any land on reels 2, 3, 4 or 5. Those wilds will then stay in place during the whole feature. If 1 or more reels on the same spin are filled with sticky wild symbols vertically, 3 more free spins are awarded.

It’s completely up to you what one you choose at the start, but they both have their positives and the maximum win can be won with each choice.

Buy feature

Not available in the UK but on offer in many other territories, you can buy the Free Spins feature for 100 x your stake. A random number of scatters from 3 to 6 can land on the spin that triggers the bonus round.

Magician’s Secrets Review Summary – Colourful but volatile

This highly volatile Magician’s Secrets slot is a fun one to play, but it doesn’t deviate too much from a lot of other Pragmatic Play titles in terms of the way it plays and the features available.

The graphics are great, especially on smartphones, and the soundtrack makes for some exciting gameplay, with every more intensified action when the Free Spins feature lands.

Overall, it’s another good creation by a top provider, and the 5,000 x max win is generous, albeit quite difficult to achieve due to the high variance.

If you’re a fan of games that include wizards and magicians, Playtech’s Blue Wizard is a very popular alternative. Additionally, the Merlin and the Ice Queen Morgana slot from Play ‘n GO offers free spins and multipliers like this one but with a higher max win of 20,000 x your stake.
