Game Overview

You’ll like this, not a lot, but you’ll like it! Game provider Pragmatic Play might not like us at all for that intro, but it’s actually a famous catchphrase from an old-school British magician that’s no longer with us. Ten points for all readers that can conjure up a correct answer to his name. Back on topic, and Spellbinding Mystery is another cluster pays slot from Pragmatic that features 7-reels, an RTP of 96.04%, and a maximum win of 10,000x bet.

Cluster slots often throw us a delightful mix of features and modifiers, and it appears we’re in for a treat or two in this title. The base game includes multiplying wild symbols up to x5 in value and mystery symbols that can land in any position and then transform to the same randomly selected symbol from the paytable. Land three or more scatters in view, and the free spins bonus will be triggered. During this round, all mystery symbols that hit remain persistent for the duration of the bonus, with the wild multipliers also increasing up to a maximum value of 10x. Last of all, for those who want to get straight into the action, a bonus buy option is available at the cost of 100x bet.

So there you have it; we won’t ask you to pick a card or lay on a table and be sawn in half. We’re just simply going to inform you that you can try the free demo slot of Spellbinding Mystery if you wish. It’s available for you to play below.

Spell Binding Mystery Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

You’d be hard-pressed to find anyone that doesn’t love a bit of magic. Whether it’s close up with cards and coins or the big dramatic tricks that take place, like when David Copperfield made the Statue of Liberty disappear. These days the TV acts of years ago have all but dried up, maybe because of the internet telling people how the magic is performed and spoiling some of the surprise. Who knows for sure, but luckily the online slot world is continuing to carry the torch with games continuing to be pumped out with this theme, like a previous release from Pragmatic titled Magican’s Secrets or even Red Tiger Gaming’s slot, Magic Powers Megaways. Yep, thankfully, this is a genre that’s sticking around, so let’s jump into the pays section of Spellbinding Mystery and take a look at it before it vanishes.

Over to the pays section now, and what better place of the paytable to start than at the top. All the wins I’m about to state are for clusters of 49 symbols, which, just for reference, means that the whole grid will have to be filled. Okay, now that’s clarified, the highest paying symbol in the game is the Spellbook, worth 500x bet. Wrapping up the premium symbols, we have the Magician’s Hat, the Scroll, a Pink Potion and a Blue Potion, all of which will pay 250x bet. Finally, we come to the low pays represented by four stone symbols, all carrying some kind of ancient carving. These are coloured Red, Pink, Blue and Orange, and will all pay 100x bet if a full screen of symbols lands in view,

We all know the drill with a Pragmatic Play betting system by now, but for those new around here, you can adjust the stake you want to play at through the plus and minus buttons. The minimum price to play the game starts at €0.20, with the maximum bet hitting a magical €100 a spin.

Base Game & Modifiers

You’d have to admit that at first glance, the playfield of Spellbinding Mystery looks really impressive and very colourful. As for the grid itself, it’s comprised of a 7×7 reel format with a total of 49 symbols filling it on every spin. Creating a win will require a minimum of 7 matching symbols to appear adjacent to each other anywhere within the grid.

Wild Symbols

The wild symbols appear in both the base game and the free spins feature and will substitute for all other symbols except the mystery symbols and the scatters. When a wild lands in the base game, it can have a value between x1 – x5. During the free spins feature, this increases to between x2 – x10. If multiple wilds are part of a winning combination, their multipliers multiply each other before being applied to the win.

Mystery Symbols

Key to the gameplay is the mystery symbol that appears as a golden box with a star inside. When these land in view, all instances of them will change into the same randomly selected symbol from the paytable.

Spellbinding Mystery Slot Bonus Features

The main bonus round of the slot will be triggered, and 10 free spins will be awarded if three scatter symbols land in view during the base game.

Free Spins

During the bonus round, any mystery symbol marks the spot it hits until the end of the feature. Then, at the end of every spin, all marked spots will transform into mystery symbols. Furthermore, whenever a new mystery symbol lands in a position not already marked, it may award one extra free spin.

Bonus Buy

Those who have the option to access the bonus buy can trigger the free spins at a click of a button for the cost of 100x bet.

Pros

  • A really fantastic looking slot which is now the norm for Pragmatic Play.
  • Top win of 10,000x bet.
  • Multipliers that multiply each other. What's not to love about that!

Cons

  • Could the game have somehow benefitted from cascading reels?

Spellbinding Mystery Slot Review Final Thoughts

I always love to review a Pragmatic Play slot, as you never know what you're going to get until you open up the game and give it a try. Sometimes, it's instant facepalm material, and on other occasions, like today, it's been a complete joy to play. So don't miss this one folks; Spelbinding Mystery is a thoroughly fun and entertaining slot.
