Magic Mirror Slot

The ‘Magic Mirror’ slot from Merkur Software. A classic high variance slot with 5 reels and 10 Paylines. The slot theme has a Blonde Witch from a Mythic tale which is based on the Northern ancient paganism. On background you will see a glade, in the fir forest on the right and on the left, a high and old tower.

On the reels you will see, the Blonde Witch as the highest value symbol with a 500x your bet. A Unicorn with 200x bet reward. A Triquetra Book and Ring – each one rewards a 75x bet. The Mirror is the Wild and Scatter with a 200x your bet, which performs powers of substitution, scattering and combination completing. When you get 3 or more Scatter anywhere on the reels, you will get 10 Free spins along with a chosen expanding symbol by the Mirror.

For those of you who are not familiar with this slot, take note that is the first release on 'Magic Mirror' series by Merkur. From my experience this slot has a very high variance in relation to the updated version - Magic Mirror Deluxe… So if you are a Medieval fan, I recommend to try first the deluxe version which of course provides more potential!

Oh gawd! Here we go with another ala Novomatic's Book Of Ra game. This Magic Mirror is from Merkur Gaming, playing with the standard 10 paylines, with expanding symbols during the free spins, but with a minimum starting bet of just 0.10 EUR per spin, so it wouldn't kill your wallet that fast. But of course, if you are a big-win hunter, you'd never play with just 0.10 bets per spin, so you'd be playing with perhaps 0.50 bets or higher, and taking all the risks of making a huge hole in your wallet, or make it fat real fast! Hehehe. Nah, I'm never one of such players, because such games have not been so good to me all these while, but I've had my fair share of small winnings before, not from this game, but from a few other similar games.

I'm not sure if this Magic Mirror game is a fairly new one or a fairly old one, I'm not very familiar with Merkur games. The overall look of the game is rather boring and dull, with graphics more suitable for older games. The Mirror is the Wild and the Scatter symbol, paying 200x the total bet for getting 5 of them. Getting 3 or more of this symbol triggers 10 free spins with an Expanding symbol, but without any multiplier. Nothing unusual about that, being typical of all similar games. The Lady pays 500x, the Unicorn pays 200x, the Book pays 75x, the Ring pays 75x too, and the rest pay from 15x to 10x, all per total bet for getting 5 of each kind, making the paytable a very good one. Some players may even confuse the Book for the Wild and Scatter symbol, because the Book is the Wild and Scatter symbol in all of the other similar games, except for this Magic Mirror game. Merkur may have been trying to be slightly different than the others I guess, but still maintaining the maximum possible win of 5000x the total bet in a single spin. This is the most important aspect of this type of games anyway.

If you've played Book Of Ra, then you've played any other similar games too. The game titles may vary, but each game would play the same way, and with the same huge winning potentials. Honestly speaking, I have not had any winning luck on any Merkur games so far, but I've had wins from similar Novomatic and HPG games. However, this Magic Mirror failed to make any magic for me, and the game doesn't even attract much of my interest. Better graphics could make some difference, but then again maybe not. Oh well, there are many more of such similar games around, and skipping this Magic Mirror won't make any difference to me at all.

Magic Mirror is video slot with 5 reels and 10 pay lines, powered by Merkur Gaming software provider. I came across this software provider a few weeks ago while I was searching at different topics at the forum. I found out some great winning screenshots on their video slots so I decided to try some of them out.

I played a Magic Mirror with 0.5€ bets and in a very short time I lost my balance. hehe. It was my mistake to play it with that bet sizes, I really wanted some big win from it with higher bet than the minimum. Minimum bet is set to just 0.10€ per spin, so I think everyone can play it.

Magic Mirror has only one feature which is free games. Up to 10 free games can be won with three magic mirror symbols. At the beginning of the free games a special symbols is automatically selected which in the event of a win during free games expands to cover all positions on the reels.

Many video slot have set this kind of ˝mode˝ during free games. From Novomatic to Play'n Go and so on. Merkur Gaming software provider has many video slots which based on this kind of feature and I like it. You can win big with this feature for sure, but you will need some high pay out symbols on the reels.

I triggered free spins a few times, but I never won more than x100 bet from them. Maybe I will try it sometimes in the future too because I think it has good potential on winnings.

The main game is quite boring sometimes, I wish there would be some bonus game too with cash prizes. Otherwise I do not have any bad words to say about it, my ratio for this video slot is 7 stars.

"Magic Mirror" is a slot produced by the company "Edict - Merkur Gaming" inspired by a fairy tale surrounded by princesses, magic mirrors, unicorns, castles and other common gadgets in this kind of medieval tales.

This slot has a layout of 5 x 3 reels and it’s equipped only with 10 paylines, so it is expected that this slot has a low hit average, which in practice it is still true because unlike other similar slots, Magic Mirror does not pay hits made in both directions, from left to right and right to left, and to this weakness, it can be added the fact that the round of free spins is triggered by the appearance of three special symbols, represented by the icon a mirror, that, unfortunately, it has functions of scatter and wild at the same time, and I say "unfortunately" because this fact greatly restricts the constant appearance of wild symbols that might otherwise appear more frequently to contribute to the formation of lines during the base game.

For me personally, I found quite hard the task of triggering the 10 free spins round; however, I must admit that the extra feature associated with this round has excellent potential to create real big wins. This extra feature is that before starting the free games, any regular symbol is chosen randomly, and this symbol has the property to expand entirely by its respective reel and this, in turn, forms combinations with other equal reels regardless of whether they are adjacent or not; so that this feature has the potential to cover your whole screen with the same symbol, potential I personally could experience during one of my few rounds of free spins where the symbol of the unicorn was my special symbol, and in one of the spins, I was so lucky to get four unicorns, that once expanded, they contributed significantly to a total win for the end of my round equivalent to approximately 400x my total bet.

Magic Mirror is a high variance slot, and because of that, it is a slot with which you have to be extremely patient and also have sufficient capital to withstand bad streaks. Having warned this, I see no reason not to suggest other players to try this slot, so the choice is yours.
