theme, stakes, pays & symbols

Drawing upon the theme of magical or mythical legend is common within slot design, with some of the most popular games in the world featuring characters modelled upon beings such as leprechauns or fairy godmothers. There's a lot to be inspired by in this genre, so it’s no surprise that developers are rushing to get involved. PG Soft is no exception to this, and a quick scan of their catalogue is a testament to that. One of the best examples is Spirited Wonders, based upon the darker side of the spirit world. This six-reel slot is packed with devilish features, including mystery symbols, win multipliers, a free spins bonus, an RTP of 96.70%, and a monstrous maximum win of 50,000x. Or how about Guardians of Ice & Fire? Things are bound to get explosive when these two elements collide. Also boasting a headline potential maximum win of 50,000x and an RTP of 96.7%, this game features increasing ways, multipliers, and a free spins bonus. Will the earth be frozen solid or burnt to a crisp? I'm not sure which I’d prefer, to be honest. Now, let’s dive further into the features of Mystical Spirits, starting with the pays section.

Inspecting the paytable, it looks like we have a three-way tie for the most valuable symbol. Clearly, the power of these elements cannot be separated, as the Fire, Water, and Leaf Spirit characters will all return 2.5x your stake for a line of six symbols. Keeping things pleasingly simple are the remaining three premiums, the Flame, Water Droplet and Single Leaf, which will all pay 1x for a six of a kind win. Finally, it’s the non-premiums, just three of them on this occasion, in the form of A, K and Q, and six of these return 0.4x your stake. It's important to note that all these symbols are colour-coded into red, blue, or green. This factor becomes relevant when building the multiplier, as we shall soon see. 

Looking into the stakes on Mystical Spirits, it’s clear that there are many on offer, with a massive 33 options available. These start from as low as €0.60, rising to as high as €180.00. With so many to pick from, there’s sure to be a perfect entry point for almost all players. The only ones I can imagine having any grievances would be the lower stake slotters who may feel that 0.60 is slightly too rich for their liking. However, the real money version will likely offer smaller bet sizes to ensure all players are well catered for.

base game & modifiers

Analysing the game mechanics it seems to be a fairly standard procedure. We have a six-reel setup with space for between 2-5 rows on each reel. This creates a possible minimum of 400, up to a maximum of 15,625 payways. In typical cascading reel style, any symbols involved in a winning combination are eliminated from the screen, producing further space for subsequent symbols to drop into. Wins are achieved by matching a minimum of three corresponding symbols from left to right, commencing from the leftmost reel.
