Let’s start by asking an important question. Do you believe in magic? We’re not talking about the Harry Potter kind of magic here, but stage magic involving card tricks and rabbits being pulled out of hats. If you don’t believe in the world of illusions, you certainly will once you check out one of the newest Pragmatic Play titles.
Vegas Magic is a 5-reel, 25-payline slot that brings the thrill of glitzy Vegas and high-end magic to the reels. Frankly, even just looking at this polished slot got us excited to try it out. As can be expected from Pragmatic Play, Vegas Magic delivers great graphics and detail. Its neon colors and sparkly background gives off the Vegas vibe we know (and love). This is complemented by a lively soundtrack that builds momentum as you spin towards your next win.
Vegas Magic has medium volatility and can be played with a minimum bet of 0.20 credits per spin, and up to a max bet of 100 credits per spin. As can be expected from the best online casino games, this game is playable on all devices, so you can really enjoy a tad of magic anywhere you go.
Symbols for the slot game are all icons that we associate with a grand magician’s show. The lowest-paying symbols are the playing card, giving you a maximum of 3.75 times your stake with five spades. Other symbols that you will see pop up on the reels, in order of value, are a magician’s hat, a white dove, a tiger, and a female magician’s assistant. The female assistant can get you 150 times your stake if you land five on the reels.
However, the female assistant (she is the assistant, after all) pales in comparison to the magician, who is the expanding wild symbol of this slot game. The magician can appear on reels 2,3, and 4, and can substitute for all symbols except the scatter. If there is a win, the wild symbol will expand vertically to fill up the reel, which can really increase your total wins.
Another symbol that will leave you spellbound is the scatter symbol in the form of a diamond dollar sign. Five of this symbol will earn you a massive 500 times your stake. Ka-ching! But what other tricks will Pragmatic Play pull out of their magic hat for Vegas Magic video slot?
Pragmatic Play stuck to one main feature: tumbling reels. What this means is that after every spin, winning combinations disappear, and empty spaces are replaced with new symbols. If a new winning combination appears, they are multiplied by a win multiplier of 2x, which increases by 1 with each tumble. There’s no limit to the possible win multiplier, so imagine what a huge payout you’ll get with a lot of successive winning combinations!
The tumbling reel feature definitely adds a lot of excitement to the gameplay, but it’s a feature that we’ve seen before in other slots. So, if you want to try your hand at other slots that use this feature, you can check out NetEnt’s Pyramid Quest for Immortality, an Egyptian-themed slot that comes complete with a top prize of 3,600,000 coins. Unlike in Vegas Magic, the tumbling reels feature on Pyramid Quest has a cap of a 10x multiplier. It does, however, have an impressive 720 win ways with the potential to score you big wins.
Alternatively, you can enjoy a few spins of the popular Da Vinci Diamonds by IGT, where you can expect to find glittering gems and art from the Renaissance period. Da Vinci Diamonds adds to the excitement of its tumbling reels with up to 300 free spins in a bonus round, which you can trigger with three bonus symbols on the reels.
If you’re looking for more magic on the reels, you can check out iSoftBet’s Illusions II. As in Vegas Magic, here you’ll find a brilliant magic performance with white rabbits, crystal balls, and a bouquet of flowers. Trigger the bonus feature to choose from 3 free spins and multiplier options. And don’t forget to watch out for the trick symbol during a feature round, as this will expand and turn into a stacked wild that remains in place for the rest of the feature round.
For less magic show and more natural magical elements, try Pragmatic Play’s Wild Spells. This 25-payline video slot stacks fire, water, and nature witches on the reels. Instead of magician’s symbols, you’ll find spell books, magic potions, and spooky candles. There are three jackpots (a minor, a major, and a grand one) that you can hit by landing 3,4, or 5 full stacks of any witch symbol.
There are plenty of magic-themed slots on the market, but Vegas Magic stands out as one that blends the Vegas glamor with the thrill of an elaborate magic show. It doesn’t go overboard with features. In fact, its one main attraction happens to be the tumbling reels with increasing multipliers. But this generates enough excitement to keep you going back to it, especially when combined with its medium volatility.
The medium variance of Vegas Magic means you’re looking at payouts that can go up to more than 3000x your stake, so you’ll be holding your breath plenty of times. Just remember to breathe out when the round’s over. Magic can only get you so far, after all.
