The owl is the second most paying icon fetching 0.08, 0.15, 0.25 or 0.50 coins for three, four, five or six of these respectively.
Coming in third place is a tie consisting of the book of spells and the potion bottle. When three, four, five or six of these land, players win 0.06, 0.10, 0.15 or 0.30 coins respectively. Anchoring the paytable are the royal poker symbols.
BONUSES AND FEATURES
- Wild: An elegant purple gem inscribed WILD acts as the substituting symbol. This symbol lands on both the top tracker as well as the main reel grid (only on reels 2 to 5). The symbol substitutes for all icons except the bonus symbol.
- Mystery Mirror Symbols: The mystery mirror symbols may land only in the mystery mirror modifier or the free spins round. When the mystery symbols land, they transform into any one of the paid symbols except the wild and the bonus icons.
- Top Tracker: At the top of the standard grid is an additional row which is known as the top tracker. The top tracker adds to the number of reels on the grid.
- Cascading Wins: Landing winning combinations helps players to win some handsome rewards but in addition, it helps activate the cascading wins feature. The feature initiates as soon as the payouts are awarded. Symbols involved in the winning combination disappear from their positions in the process necessitating new symbols to land. This in turn prompts the evaluation of new win lines and the possibility of getting successive payouts. The number of megaways remains constant.
- Merlin’s Magic Modifiers: At random during the base game, a mirror may appear and award any one of the following modifiers:
- Mystery Magic: Several random symbols are transformed into the same mystery symbol
- Wizard Wilds: A random number of wilds are placed on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5
- Super Spin: All positions on reel 1 and the top tracker are transformed and filled with the same symbol
- Bonus: Three or more bonus symbols are added to the grid
- Max Megaways: All the 117,649 ways to win are activated.
- Magic Bet: The magic bet is enabled by clicking the corresponding button on the home screen. When enabled, the player’s bet is increased by 25% and in so doing, the chances of triggering any of the incorporated bonus features also increase.
- Bonus Buy: The bonus buy allows players to purchase any one of two free spin modes. The Free Spins Guaranteed costs 75x the current bet and guarantees the activation of the standard free spins round. The Super Free Spins costs 150x and guarantees a super high number of megaways on each spin during the free spins round.
- Free Spins Feature: Landing three or more bonus symbols simultaneously helps players activate this feature. Three, four, five or six of the triggering icons awards 8, 10, 12 or 14 free spins respectively. The mystery symbols when they land transform into any standard paytable symbol except the wild and bonus. Bonus symbols transform into mystery icons during the feature and the number of megaways remains constant. An unlimited multiplier feature runs concurrently during this round. It starts at 1x and will increase by one on each cascading win. The multiplier is applied to all win lines landed during the free spins round.
