Magic Mushrooms is a video slot powered by Yggdrasil Gaming software with 5 reels and 40 pay-lines. The idea hiding behind this slot is not quite what you imagine when you read the title, but they do feature mushrooms. The reels are transparent and are set in the deep, deep, dark forest during nighttime, with different woodland creatures. Give this slot a spin here for free or visit Yggdrasil Gaming Casinos to play for real money.
Before you enter this dark forest and join these happy woodland creatures, you are advised to set your bets. By clicking on "Coin Value +/-" you can set coins size which ranges from the uncommonly 0.01 to 0.50. "Max Bet" is used to set the maximum bet allowed, and "Spin" sets the reels in motion. "Autoplay" option is used to turn the reels automatically without interruption for a chosen number of times.
This slot has 3 different Wild symbols, and each of them has different attributes. Purple Mushroom Wild can appear on reels 1 and 5. Blue Mushroom Wild can appear on reels 2 and 4, and it holds a multiplier value which ranges from x2 to x10. Red Mushroom Wild appears on reel 3 only, and once you hit it, the mushroom will spread up to 4 wilds anywhere on the reels.
Scatter symbol is pink, glowing snail-like thing, and it triggers Free Spins feature once you land 3 or more of them on the reels. The number of scatters decides the number of free spins. For three scatters you get 10 spins, 4 scatters will get you 20 spins, and 5 scatters will award you with 75 free spins. If you land 2 or more scatters during this feature you can win up to 75 more free spins.

I noticed this game took a while longer than most games to load up, I don't know if that was just a one off but could well be a result of the super detailed graphics that Yggdrasil are getting well known for. Like their other games Magic Mushrooms looks fantastic especially if you have a high dot pitch screen to play on like an iPad or a 4K monitor. These games really deserve to be played at full screen to see them at their best.
Yggdrasil definitely seem mostly interested in creating games for true slot lovers, they don't seem interested in creating anything that isn't capable of a huge win, most of their games seem basically unique, and there are always a few tricks and surprises in store when trying one out for the first time. I haven't yet played one of these games that I haven't enjoyed, although the number of dead spins can be a little disconcerting sometimes.
As others have said in the reviews below this game isn't based on any illegal chemicals, although with the super bright and attractive graphics you could be forgiven for wondering! Instead the "magic" in these mushrooms is that they are all wild and have different abilities to enhance your spin. The wilds don't have a payout of their own but a full line can potentially 10,000 coins (with the multiplying mushroom at the maximum 10x), and that's easier to achieve than on most games thanks to the spreading wild that appears on the centre reel. I was surprised to see on very rare occasions the wild added to the reels can actually become spreading wilds themselves, and although I didn't get a big multiplier on that spin I still received over 300x my stake, which gives you an idea of just how big a win this game can produce under the right circumstances. You don't see many games with 40 paylines that pay both ways either.
If you land all five scatters on one spin your definitely going to have a good day as you are awarded with 75 free spins, and unlike os many games that use butchered reel strips for the free spins Yggdrasil go the other way and pimp out the free spins reels with additional wilds. I've seen videos of people winning a couple of thousand times their bet in this mode and I'm sure I am yet to see this games true potential. It's a monster! Definitely recommended :)
