Merlin's Magic Mirror

Magic Mirror Review

Magic Mirror is a visually appealing game, featuring a helpful magician beside the reels. He can offer magical second chances on losing spins, and a free spins feature with mystery symbols.

The game was launched on the 12th of July 2019, and it plays out on 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 paylines. The base game includes 2 randomly triggered magic tricks, where the magician can turn losing spins into winners.

The main attraction is the free spins feature, where the triggering scatters become sticky mystery symbols for the whole feature. Landing more scatters awards more mystery symbols, and you can win up 500x your stake on this game.

What symbols are there?

With the magician overlooking the reels, you’ll find 4 higher value symbols. The magician is the highest value symbol on Magic Mirror slot, and you need 3 to 5 matching symbols on a payline to win. Here is the paytable:

• Magician - Pays 25x for 5 on a payline
• Owl - Pays 12.5x for 5 on a payline
• Book of Spells - Pays 10x for 5 on a payline
• Potion bottle - Pays 8x for 5 on a payline
• Card Suit symbols - Pay between 6x and 2x for 5 on a payline

What are the bonus features?

Magic Mirror has bonus features, and you’ll find 2 features in the base game that are triggered at random times:

• Mystery Magic - will happen only after a losing spin, and the magician will turn losing symbols into winning symbols.
• Wizard Wilds - is another way the magician can turn a losing spin into a winner, but this time the losing symbols are turned into wild symbols for payouts.

There is also a re-spins feature on this game, triggered by filling the first reel with a matching symbol. On the re-spins that follow all the triggering symbols, and symbols matching the triggering symbols, become sticky and frozen in place. Landing more identical symbols awards more re-spins, and this continues until no more matching symbols land.

Free spins in Magic Mirror

The free spins feature on Magic Mirror slot is triggered when you land at least 3 scatters at the same time on the reels. This is the game’s main feature, and you get 10 free spins with extra features.

All the scatter symbols that activated the free spins will transform into Magic Mirrors, and become sticky for the duration of the feature. After every spin these magic mirrors will either turn into matching symbols, or pay out a cash prize. Landing more scatters also turns them into sticky magic mirrors, and the bigger the cluster grows the bigger your wins will be.

What is the jackpot (max win)?

There is no progressive or fixed jackpot to be won on this game, and the potential is on the mediocre side. You can win up to 500 times your stake, which is not all that high for a medium to high volatility slot. With a max bet of £20 per spin, you can pocket up to £10,000 here.

You can also play Magic Mirror slot on both mobile and tablet.

Game Review

Magic Mirror is a fun game, visually pleasing and packed with bonus features. All the random magic keeps the base game fun and interesting, but the free spins feature is where the game shines. Unfortunately, the potential is not very good, and the max bet level is also quite low. This ruins what would otherwise be a solid game.
