Betting Options and Bonus Features
Spellbinding Mystery by Pragmatic Play is a magician-themed slot game that acquaints you with the world of witchcraft and wizardry. The cluster-paying slot game is set on a 7x7 grid situated in an alluring and mysterious forest where the wizard’s residence dwells. The goal is to compile different symbols and connect them in winning combination clusters of 7+ symbols to trigger wins.
The game harbors iconic symbols that have the potential to ignite a monetary magic show. For starters, the game features Wild symbols which substitute for any regular pay symbol to create or improve cluster wins and also present random multiplier values up to x5. These Wild Multipliers significantly boost the wins associated with the clusters the Wilds are involved in. When you're fortunate to have more than one Wild within a win, their multipliers multiply each other, consequently amplifying the player's victory points.
The main base game feature of Spellbinding Mystery is the Mystery Symbol that undergoes a transformation into any random matching pay symbol at the conclusion of the spins. Although these mystery symbols do not turn into Wilds or Scatters, they're pervasive in all stages of the game and considerably enhance the gaming experience.
To trigger the free spins bonus game you’ll need to obtain Scatter symbols, which come in the form of magic crystal balls. Landing three of them on reels 2, 4, and 6 initiates a series of 10 free spins, casting a spell of excitement.
This round is special as it ensures when all mystery symbols land, they’ll highlight their respective positions. These highlighted spots persist throughout the duration. Every highlighted position morphs into a mystery symbol with every free spin, thereby increasing the chances of wins. Additionally, Wilds always appear with high multiplier values of x2 to x10 in this round, making it even more rewarding.
Finally, for players that like to skip tedious studies and potion concocting, Pragmatic Play offers a bonus buy option for 100x your stake. Buying it will guarantee all 3 Scatter symbols to land on reels 2,4, and 6 and subsequently trigger your free spins bonus round.
Roshtein’s Take
Spellbinding Mystery hardly has any actual mysterious elements or surprises. It's a little bit of an oddity as it looks and plays like cascading slots but that isn't actually its mechanic. It only really has just one feature, as Wild symbols simply don’t count. But, it’s not as though the Mystery symbol feature is bad. It’s quite nice actually, but the game could use a little more character with one or two added attributes.
