Pragmatic Play – Magician’s Secrets – Free Slot Game

’s biggest hit so far in the genre of magical sltos is Madame Destiny Megaways , followed by The Magic Cauldron . Their latest work, Magician’s Secrets, revolves around a mysterious and somewhat mean-looking wizard, and the 6×4 grid is set in a huge alchemist’s library that looks like an observatory. The magician/sorcerer serves as a wild symbol and thus is involved in all the main features of the game.

The audiovisual presentation is decent, but also nothing special, but with 4,096 ways to win, you can at least theoretically aim for bigger payouts out of the blue. The randomly triggered Expanding Multiplier Wild feature will help you in this regard, but the magic and wizardry really happens when you trigger the bonus round. Choose between 2 unique options and see how close you can get to 5,000x potential .

Features of the Magician’s Secrets Slot

The premium symbols pay out between 6 and 100 times your bet for 6 of a kind, and the Magician’s Wild substitutes for all payout symbols to complete winning combinations. However, the wild has no value of its own, but can expand at a random time to cover the entire reel if it lands in the base game. The wild also comes with a random multiplier between x2 and x10 when it expands, and it plays a central role in all stages of the game.

You need at least 3 crystal ball scatters anywhere to trigger the bonus round, and if you land 4, 5 or 6 scatters, you will receive a scatter prize worth 20, 200 and 2,000 times your bet upfront respectively. You will then be presented with 2 bonus round options as follows:

  • The Expanding Wilds bonus round awards 10 free spins , and you get respins when Wilds land and expand on Reels 3 and 4. The expanding wild multiplier increases by +1 per respin, and you win +10 free spins when 3+ scatters land.
  • The Sticky Wilds high volatility bonus round awards 8 free spins and a randomly selected symbol turns into a sticky wild when it lands on reels 2 through 5. You win +3 extra spins for each reel you fill with sticky wilds.

Finally, players outside the UK and all eligible people can take advantage of the bonus buy option . This means that you don’t have to wait for the feature to trigger organically, as you can simply cough up 100x your bet to get 3+ guaranteed scatters on the following spin.

You’ll get a brief taste of the drudgery of the base game before we buy into the bonus round at 0:45 in the 5:25 minute highlights video. The magician is doing his thing with the crystal ball, and we opted for the Sticky Wild bonus round with high volatility. We buy the Expanding Wilds bonus round right after, and you can check it all out for yourself by clicking the play button.

Rating Conclusion

Pragmatic Play has conjured up a decent enough fantasy slot with Magician’s Secrets, but the gameplay never captivated us enough to even care about what the title’s “secrets” might be. The Expanding Wild feature can lead to decent boost wins in the base game due to the random multiplier, and with 4,096 ways to win, the 5,000x potential can theoretically be cracked on a single spin at all stages of the game.

Of course, you’re more likely to approach this hard-limited maximum win when the bonus round is triggered, and we assume that the most volatile option is the best choice in this regard. The possibility of a scatter payout upfront of 2,000x is unusually solid, and the Respins feature usually extends the Expanding Wilds bonus round. Overall, Magician’s Secrets has its moments, as so many games do, but it didn’t leave a lasting impression that would compel us to return to this game soon.
