Mystic Secrets

Mystic Secrets is a video slot game from Novomatic with a medieval theme. This is definitely high variance slot so it is very possible to lose all your money on it, like it has happened to me many times. But it is definitely worth the sacrifice, because it can pay huge during the free spins round. You have 2 wild reels and lots of opportunities to win in this bonus feature.

This is a 5 reels and 10 pay lines video slot game. I have played this slot numerous times. The highest amount that I have won was during the free spins round and it was around 750 x bet. I always play this slot with at least 1 euro bets, because otherwise I believe it is wasting time. If you manage to trigger the feature you will win way more if your bet per line is higher.

The most important symbols in this game are the wild and the scatter symbol. The wild is the bearded scholar and it substitutes for all the other symbol and if you manage to land 5 on an active pay line it can pay 500 x your stake. I have never won that, and I have played this slot a lot. The free spins are triggered with 3, 4 or 5 magic book scatter symbols. You not only get 10 free spins but also a scatter payout of 5, 50 or 500 x bet respectively. The last time I played this slot I did not manage to trigger the free spins. In my opinion you should start playing this slot when you have more money on your balance. The last time I have started with 20 euros on my balance and I lost them in less than 30 spins.

The free spins are powered with the Mystic Bonus feature, which means that every free spin comes with 2 wild reels randomly selected. If you manage to trigger the free spins you will definitely win something.

I've never had a problem playing slots of only 10 lines, usually the low hit average is compensated in some way, either with lucrative free spins or bonus rounds, paying combinations in both directions or just stating good prices on the paytable, well, the way "Mystic Secrets" of "Novomatic" tries to compensate its low hit average is with decent prices and a powerful round of free spins where for every turn there are two reels completely converted into wilds.

During my first session with this slot I was really pleased because on one hand the wild symbol helped me a lot to complete lines at relatively frequent pace during the base game, but I liked even more the fact that I obtained access to the round of free spins with a relative ease, however, I'm not now so sure that this game is as dynamic as I originally thought, and I feel the streaks of dead spins are longer than before and practically I am not now able to trigger the feature of the game, I guess in my first session with "Mystic Secrets" I was luckier than normal doing this I got a better impression of what the game really was.

Looking at some forums and websites that discuss issues related to casino games, I could see that this slot of Novomatic has very good ratings, but now and after playing it again in different places, I'm not so sure this game pleases me as much as before, even I would brand it tight mainly by the extreme low hit average it has shown during my last sessions; its appearance is nice, not so much its sound effects, and its feature has very good potential but this nothing serves me if at the end my chips end up going down the drain quickly without me having any chance to resist, that's pretty frustrating and more coming from a slot which previously I had a good concept.

I guess I will turn away some from this video slot but that does not prevent you can give it a look, and if you do it, I hope you have good luck and do not risk your money more than you should.
