Magical Reels

No longer available

Magical Reels brings a little bit of magic to your online gaming session. This latest slot game by Northern Lights Gaming under Games Global supervision sees us tumbling around a house, where we collect mushrooms, fruit and potions to create our own spells.

A magical book is what sets this game apart from its competition. It awards multipliers and stars to every symbol on the reels, triggering a free spins bonus round whenever you collect successfully 5 stars.

This highly volatile game comes with a free spins feature which is as rewarding as it is impressive.

Built across 5 reels, 4 rows and 20 paylines, this game’s payout percentage stands at 96.15%. Players have the opportunity to scoop up to 11,750x their wager. To keep things more interesting, there are also several features, including an Awards Board and a Free Spins Bonus Round.

In terms of graphics, Magical Reel is quite basic. The setting is based on a house with plants and trees seen in the background. On a table to the left-hand side of the reels, players can see a skull, various potion bottles, plants and a candle holder.

In total, there are 8 paying symbols. The lowest-paying symbols include the shell, mushroom, blueberry and yellow leaf. These pay between 1x and 1.50x your wager for 5 of a kind.

The highest-paying symbols in this game include the various coloured potion bottles. These pay out a little more generously between 2x and 5x your wager for 5 of a kind on a single spin.

The soundtrack to the game is somewhat tranquil. This game was not designed or created to give players the heebyjeebies.

Magical Reels jackpots

There are no Magical reels jackpots available with this game. However, there is the opportunity to claim up to 11,750x your stake on a single spin.

Magical Reels free spins

Collect 5 stars on any of the available symbols on the Award Board to earn yourself 5 free spins. You can also get two extra spins for every other symbol that manages to reach 5 stars during the spins.

Of course, if you land many stars on numerous symbols, you will have many more spins available. If you land 5 stars on three different symbols, you will start off with 9 free spins.

All symbols that have reached 5 stars on the Award Board will not be available during the free spins round and thus will not appear.

Any wins generated during this round will also be multiplied by that symbol’s multiplying number on the Award Board. That being said, each symbol’s multiplier can only be used in every free spin.

Magical Reels bonus features

There are a few interesting features available in this game. These include:

Scatter Symbol

The magic spellbook acts as the game’s scatter symbols. You can land up to 5 of these symbols on a single spin. Each scatter symbol comes with a number of stars attached to it or a +1 Multiplier.

Award Board feature

The Award Board is possibly the most thrilling of features available in this game. Each of the symbols available in this game is represented on the Award Board. The potion bottles are presented in the top half, while the remaining symbols are presented beneath.

Each symbol comes with 5 boxes, where stars will be placed as you land them, along with a multiplier.

Land 5 stars for a symbol, and you will trigger the free spins bonus round.

Magical Reels RTP

Online slot game Magical Reels is a highly volatile game, so infrequent wins are to be expected. The payout percentage for this game stands at an average of 96.15%.

Verdict

We love a new online slot game with an old-school theme. Northern Lights Gaming has done well in creating an online slot that is easy on the eyes and ears.

However, it does seem to lack features. The main feature of this game is the free spins bonus round. Some will contend that the Award Board is also a feature, but ultimately the Board is there to trigger the free spins bonus round.

There are no wilds as well, so big win opportunities are somewhat limited to the free spins bonus round.

However, there is still plenty of good news. After several hours of playing the game, we realised that the free spins bonus round could be easily activated.

Magical Reels is a very easy to follow online slot game. It is ideal for both new and seasoned players, but bear in mind that the high variance can have a detrimental effect on one’s bankroll, especially if it is on the smaller side.

This slot game can bring a touch of magic to your gaming session, but the lack of spellbinding features can prove a little too basic for some players. Nevertheless, it is always worth a try!
