Each and every one of us occasionally wants to see a twist, an unusual feature in their slots play; perhaps something small, just to break the routine and make the play more engaging. And then again, it happens many times that we get tired of the flashy graphics of video slots and need something simpler - so we turn to classic slots instead.
Now, if both these troubles bother you, you can find entertainment in Microgaming’s “Spin Magic” classic slot with a bonus feature. However, you need to be careful with it and we advise playing it only if finances are not a problem for you and if the amount you win is not the most important thing in your books - in that case, you’ll have a very entertaining experience with this slot!
“Spin Magic” Characteristics
Apart from its monetary-related downsides, this traditional three-reeler would be a game worth playing. It’s cheerful and colorful, with some classic symbols such as lemons, cherries and grapes, and some less ordinary ones such as the magician and shiny stars. The game also has a bonus game and a gamble feature, and interestingly enough, the latter may actually help you keep your balance alive for a bit longer.
The base game wins are very scarce, but not ungenerous. Nevertheless, you will most likely see your balance go down very fast, even if you choose the smallest coin size of 10 cents. Namely, the problem is that the fixed number of coins per payline is 2, so if you play on the maximum five paylines (which is certainly recommendable), the minimum bet you’ll pay is $1 per spin. And considering that winning is far from easy in “Spin Magic”, if you don’t have much luck with this slot, your play may easily turn from ‘magic’ to ‘tragic’. On the other hand, if you get lucky and win the bonus round, you stand a chance at winning up to 8000 coins. Although, it’s much more likely you’ll win one of the smaller sums, such as 60x or 40x coin.
Special Features
As for the slot’s bonus feature, whenever you get a win higher than 20 coins, with a bet type 10, you can choose to enter the Super bonus game. In that case, your number of available credits will be displayed on the Supermeter, and you’ll be required to place a fixed bet of 20 Super credits per spin. You can leave the game and collect your remaining credits at any time, or keep spinning until you run out of credits, but if you get two Wheel symbols on any two reels in the same spin, you will be granted entrance in the Wheel game, where you get a chance to spin a wheel of luck and win a multiplier of up to 8000x. Only, the game info says that those are bet multipliers, but they’re not - they’re coin multipliers, which means you get much lower prizes.
In terms of the other feature in the game, Gamble feature, it will be offered to you whenever you win. In this feature you can double your win if you correctly guess the colour drawn by the magician. Also, the feature lets you choose whether to gamble the whole win amount or just a part of it, determining what you’ll gamble by using the Set Aside function, which will deduct 20 credits from your current win amount each time you click on it.
Conclusion
It’s unfortunate that this game has serious flaws that will prevent many players from giving it a shot. Without them, it would be an excellent game, most likely many people’s favorite classic slot, but this way it seems hardly competitive in the market whose demands become more stringent day after day.
