Theme: experience the power + spells of these mythical religious leaders

With a mythical theme, the Druid’s Magic slot is based on the religious leaders from ancient Celtic cultures. Druids were referred to as magicians with supernatural powers. They were able to transform into animals and other creatures due to their connection to nature and its inhabitants, apparently.

Druid’s Magic follows on from other NetEnt slots that feature druids with Druid’s Dream and Secret of the Stones MAX (both released in 2020). Set in a deep and enchanted forest, it has an autumnal/Nordic feel with golden leaves falling off the trees in the backdrop. The reels are set on the front of a wooden cottage with carved stones surrounding the property. In terms of the soundtrack, it has a mystical and intense feel.

Symbols on the reels include 4 rune stones as the low-paying symbols. Then you have high-paying animals including ravens, owls, wolves and bears. The bear is the best-paying symbol awarding 2.5, 5 or 10 x your total bet for 3, 4 or 5 across any payline. A screen full of bears will award a 200 x bet payout.

Interestingly, Druid’s Magic comes with 5 wild symbols. There are stacked, expanding, random, linked and colossal wilds. Appearing anywhere on all 5 reels, they substitute for all paying symbols and will count as the symbol that forms the highest-value winning combination. 3, 4 or 5 wilds pays 5, 10 or 20 x bet respectively.

Finally, there are 2 Druid Scatter symbols which appear on reels 1 and 5 respectively. When they appear on both reels at the same time, you’ll play the free spins (more details below).

Druid’s Magic Bonus Features

The Druid’s Magic slot comes with 7 bonus features. 5 of these are Wild features which reward you with stacked, expanding, random, linked and colossal wilds. In the Free Spins feature, you begin with 10 free spins and a random Wild feature in play. Retriggers lead to extra free spins as well as another Wild feature. All 5 Wild features can be in play during the free spins simultaneously.

Wild Features

As mentioned above, the Druid’s Magic slot comes with 5 wild symbols. 1 of the wilds can appear on each base game spin with multiple versions of that wild able to appear on the reels. When 1 of the wilds appears, it will trigger its respective Wild feature.

Free Spins feature

The Free Spins feature is triggered by landing the 1×2 Scatter symbol on both reels 1 and 5 simultaneously during a base game spin. With 10 free spins awarded, 1 of the above Wild features will be randomly chosen and become active for all free spins.

Furthermore, landing 2 full-size Scatter symbols on reels 1 and 5 will reward you with 5 additional free spins as well as another Wild feature. You can retrigger various times for up to 20 extra free spins and all 5 Wild features in play. When 2 or more Wild features are in play, the Stacked and Colossal Wild features play out first with others triggering simultaneously.

Druid’s Magic Review Summary: plenty of Wild features but with limited magical powers

Well-designed, the Druid’s Magic slot looks the part even though it offers nothing spectacular aesthetically. Yes, the backdrop is pretty impressive but the visuals are a throwback to some releases by NetEnt from a few years ago.

In terms of the gameplay, there are 5 different wild symbols each triggering their own Wild feature. That said, none of the Wild features offer anything innovative or creative. The more impressive of these is the Expanding Wild feature which could lead to 5 wild reels if you’re lucky. Even if you manage to achieve this, a maximum of 400 x bet will be won (for a screen full of wilds).

In the Free Spins feature, 1 Wild feature is randomly chosen. The key is to retrigger the feature which leads to more free spins and another Wild feature. Retriggering 4 times will lead to 20 additional free spins and all 5 Wild features in play.

With 2,983.6 x bet max wins, this can be won from the free spins as a whole. It’s not exactly huge win potential though. Whilst there is plenty of variety from the Wild symbols, the max win figure and the lack of multipliers will ensure that the Druid’s Magic slot will probably disappear into oblivion.

NetEnt Alternatives

If you take Secret of the Stones MAX for example (which has a similar theme), it comes with a high 96.81% RTP rate and a Free Spins feature where you pick from Celtic stones to win lots of extras. These include additional free spins, multipliers, wild reels and extra wilds. This can lead to 25,000 x bet wins on every free spin.

I recommend sticking to NetEnt’s most popular slots. Gonzo’s Quest was released way back in 2013 but still has the same charm and appeal. Using an Avalanche Reels feature for successive wins, the multiplier increases with each win up to 5x. In the free spins (Free Falls feature), continuous wins will see the multiplier rise up to 15x. This can lead to 37,500 x bet max wins per free spin.

In terms of more recent releases, Rome: The Golden Age is the slot I’d play. Set in ancient Rome, frames become active to reward you with wilds and turn adjacent positions wilds. Look out for Golden Age symbols as these award points for the progress bar. This in turn increases the multiplier for the free spins up to 1,000x. With cash prizes to be won, filling all positions during the free spins will lead to a double multiplier of up to 2,000x. This can then lead to 100,000 x bet max wins.
