Magic Lab – Overview
Time for a new online slot game by NetEnt. And this time the game is called Magic Lab.
A scatter pays slot game with a theme revolving around all sorts of potions you would find in a sorcerer’s shop.
The game uses 6 reels that are each 5 symbols high and comes, like I mentioned above, with scatter pays. 8 or more of the same symbols, anywhere on the reels, count as a winning combination.
Besides low paying card symbols you will also find high paying potions. And there are also scatter symbols on all reels. Lastly we have the wild symbol, which can appear on all reels, but only 1 in total. Which comes with its own feature.
Magic Lab comes with a maximum payout of 5.999 times your bet and is a medium to high volatile slot game.
Features
Avalanches
All winning symbols are removed from the reels and all remaining symbols will fall down. New symbols will then fall on top, creating the option for another win. This keeps happening until no more winning combinations appear.
Multiplier Wild
A wild symbol will not be removed during a winning avalanche. Instead, each winning avalanche will increase the wild multiplier by x1.
Free Spins Feature
3 or more scatter symbols will award 5 free spins.
The number of scatter symbols triggering the bonus, determine the number of features you are awarded during those free spins.
Features will activate before each new free spin.
- Guaranteed Wild – A wild symbol will be locked onto the reels and will stay there until the end of the free spins, increasing its multiplier after each winning avalanche
- Remove Symbol – A random symbol is picked and removed from the reels until the end of the free spins
- Double Multiplier – The wild symbol’s multiplier will go up by x2 after each winning avalanche
3 scatters will award Guaranteed Wild and two Remove Symbol. 4 scatters will award an extra Remove Symbol on the 4th spin. And 5 scatters will award the Double Multiplier on the 5th spin.
You can’t win more free spins during this feature.
Bonus Buy
Some casinos offer the option to buy free spins for 70 times your bet. This will award a minimum of 3 scatter symbols.
Verdict
Magic Lab is not the most interesting looking game. In fact it’s all a bit boring in my opinion. They could have done much more to bring the magic theme come to live, I think.
But the gameplay is a lot of fun. I like the avalanches and the fact that the wild symbol stays on the reels during these and gets a bigger and bigger multiplier. But I especially like the free spins with the added bonuses. The wild will always stay and the multiplier can get pretty high, pretty fast.
It’s not something we haven’t seen before. But I think NetEnt created a fun new game with Magic Lab. I don’t think it will create huge waves in the gambling world, but for now, just enjoy this game. I had a lot of fun playing it.
You can find Magic Lab at any casino listed on this website, like for instance one of the top 10 NetEnt casinos on the right. Or play the demo below.
