Game Overview

The saying goes that true magicians never reveal their secrets, but it seems that Pragmatic Play hasn’t read the memo – perhaps they are disciples of the Penn & Teller school of thought! The developer’s new Magician’s Secrets online slot is a 4,096 payway game with a 96.50% RTP and a top prize of 5,000x the total bet. So what secrets could it be hiding behind its reel set? Step up to the stage and climb in the box while I fetch my saw; I’ll be with you in a moment.

For my first trick, I present you expanding wild symbols that can appear anywhere on reels two, three, four, five, or six. Not impressed? Then let me show you my bonus scatter symbols, offering a payout of up to 2,000x the total bet for six-of-a-kind!… Oh, come on, that’s a pretty good trick. What about a sticky wilds free spin bonus round with no limit on re-triggers? If that one doesn’t impress you, I don’t think anything will. Does a bonus buy facility at the cost of 100x the normal price per spin? No? I give up!

Are you ready to find out the secrets of the Pragmatic Play magicians? Then step right up – our free demo slot of Magician’s Secrets is available to play below!

Theme, Stakes, Paylines & Symbols

Magician’s Secret slot paytable

We’ve reviewed some fantastic magic-themed online slots before – Hacksaw Gaming’s title, Magic Piggy, immediately springs to mind, and that’s a tough act for any aspiring magician to follow! Pragmatic Play are true professionals, of course, so I have no doubt that they have the skills to compete. This isn’t their best-looking game, though – the symbols are a little bit bland, and there’s not much to the backdrops either. We all know that appearances can be deceiving, though, and that’s certainly the case here – the feature set more than makes up for any deficit in terms of presentation.

I’m guessing that the Magician in question here must have been from a different time, as his props do not appear to have been made during the last century! The Spellbook is by far the most valuable symbol on the paytable, offering a payout of 50x the total bet for a full payway of six of a kind. The next symbol looks like some kind of Pendant on a blue background and has a return of 10x the total bet for all six symbols. This is followed by the Goblet that drops to 4x the bet for a complete payway, followed by the Dagger at 3x and the Poison at 2x. Finally, the low pays are represented by playing card suits with the Spade worth 0.7x, a Heart at 0.6x, the Club valued at 0.5x, and the Diamond paying 0.4x for a winning combo of six.

Magician’s Secrets utilises the familiar three-way bet selection system common to all Pragmatic Play online slots. This allows you to choose any multiple of the €0.10 minimum bet up to the maximum limit of €100.00 per spin. This creates plenty of stakes to play the game at, so no matter what size your bankroll is, you’ll be able to find a bet size relative to it.

Base Game & Modifiers

Magician’s Secrets slot base game

The base game of Magician’s Secrets uses an enlarged playfield sporting six reels of four rows each. Every possible path from left to right is active for payouts, resulting in a total of 4,096 payways on every spin. You’ll need at least three matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the left-hand side to score yourself a win.

Expanding Wild Symbols

Wild symbols appear on all reels excluding reel one. Every wild that lands during the base game has a chance to expand to fill its entire reel. Expanded wilds also gain a random multiplier between 2x and 10x, which will be applied to every winning combination that passes through them.

Magician’s Secrets Slot Bonus Features

Magician’s Secrets slot free spin feature

Bonus scatter symbols appear on all reels. The free spins feature will be triggered when three or more scatters land on a single spin. If the triggering combination includes four scatter symbols, you’ll also receive a cash prize of 20x the total bet. This increases to 200x or 2,000x for five or six scatter symbols, respectively. Before the bonus round begins, you’ll be offered the choice of two different free spin modes.

Expanding Wilds Free Spin Feature

In this mode, every wild symbol that lands on reels three or four are guaranteed to expand to fill its entire reel. When this occurs, a re-spin session is activated, which will continue awarding free re-spins as long as a winning combination hits each time.

Every time a re-spin occurs, the multiplier assigned to any visible expanding wilds is increased by 1x. This feature can be re-triggered indefinitely by hitting three or more bonus scatter symbols whilst the bonus round is active.

Sticky Wilds Free Spin Feature

The second free spin mode awards eight spins rather than ten and is almost certain to be much more volatile than the expanding wilds mode. Before your feature begins, a random symbol is chosen from the paytable as the wild for the current round. Whenever the chosen symbol lands on reels two, three, four, or five, it will transform into a sticky wild.

Whenever all four positions on a reel are filled with sticky wilds, three more free spins will be added to your remaining total. This bonus has a tonne of potential to award a big win if you can hit enough wilds early on – I wouldn’t be surprised to hear of plenty of players running into the 5,000x win cap after choosing this option!

Bonus Buy

Both free spin modes available in Magician’s Secrets are fantastic, so it’s great to see that Pragmatic Play has also included a bonus buy facility. The cost of entry is 100x the normal price per spin, but this will be immediately recovered if you are fortunate enough to hit five or six scatter symbols.
