On June 29, Pragmatic Play, a flagship slot provider with 80+ HTML 5 titles for mobile and desktop computers based in Silema, Malta, released Spellbinding Mystery™, a magical-themed slot featuring an old, experienced wizard.
In addition, the provider’s previous similar hits include: Wisdom of Athena™, Heist for the Golden Nuggets and Big Bass Amazon Xtreme™.
Slot visual:
True to its title, the main theme of the slot is the aforementioned wizard in a mystical forest. In the background of the reels is a small house that, together with several glowing mushrooms and fireflies, illuminates the dark place. What’s more, the wizard is located to the right of the reels, and he interacts with the reels throughout the spins. Additionally, the game can be played on any device.
To win, players must form a combination of 7 or more matching symbols in a cluster with symbols that are horizontally or vertically adjacent on a dynamic 7×7 grid that offers 7 paylines.
The basic low-value symbols are colorful stones in orange, blue, purple and red, while the high-value bonus symbols are a green potion bottle, a purple potion bottle, a scroll, a wizard’s hat and a green book. A combination of 49 low-value bonus symbols is worth 100x, increasing to 250x to 500x a player’s bet for a combination of 49 high-value bonus symbols.
The game has high volatility, a default RTP of 96.04% and a maximum win of 10,000x a player’s bet.
Slot features:
Wild Symbol – the Wild, aka the golden coin with a W, helps to enable more winning combinations by replacing other symbols, apart from the Scatter and Mystery Symbols. In addition, it lands with random multipliers that can be 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x and 5x. Furthermore, if players make a win involving several multiplier wilds, their values will be multiplied by each other before being applied to the win.
Mystery Symbol – players will have the chance to land Mystery Symbols, aka the stars, in the base game and Free Spins. Moreover, they will unveil the same random symbol type after the spin is finished and will display any of the paying symbols.
Free Spins – throughout players’ spins, players may land Scatters, aka a blue orbs, on the reels 2, 4 and 6, with 3 Scatters simultaneously triggering this feature. Once triggered, players are awarded 10 free spins and will get marked spots throughout the spins that will show Mystery Symbols.
In addition, marked spots stay throughout the whole feature and when a Mystery Symbol appears in an unmarked spot, players may receive 1 additional free spin at random. However, within the feature, Wilds will get a multiplier of 2x, 4x, 6x, 8x and 10x.
Bonus Buy – in order to trigger this feature, the player should want to get to the Free Spins immediately. To activate it, players have to place a 100x of the bet and during this feature the RTP increases slightly to 96.10%.
