Magician's Secrets Review
The biggest Pragmatic Play hit so far in the Magic slot genre is Madame Destiny Megaways, with The Magic Cauldron following not too far behind. Their latest effort, Magician's Secrets, revolves around a mysterious and somewhat mean-looking wizard, and the 6x4 grid is set within a massive observatory-looking alchemist library of some kind. The magician/wizard serves as the wild symbol, and he’s thus involved in all the game’s main features.
The audiovisual presentation is decent, but nothing too special either, but with 4,096 win ways you can, in theory at least, land larger payouts out of the blue. The randomly triggered expanding multiplier wild feature will assist you in that regard, but the wizardry and magic truly happens when you trigger the bonus round. Choose between 2 unique options, and see how close you can get to cracking the hard-capped 5,000x potential.

The premium symbols pay between 6 and 100 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and the Magician Wild steps in for all pay symbols to help complete winning combinations. The wild holds no value of its own however, but it can expand to cover the full reel at random times when it lands in the base game. The wild also comes with a random multiplier between x2 and x10 when it expands, and it plays a central part in all stages of the game.

You need at least 3 crystal ball scatters anywhere in view to trigger the Bonus Round, and landing 4, 5 or 6 scatters award a scatter prize worth 20, 200 or 2,000 x your stake up front, respectively.
You will then be presented with 2 bonus round options, as follows:- The Expanding Wilds Bonus Round awards 10 free spins, and you get respins when wilds land and expand on reels 3 and 4. The expanded wild multiplier increases by +1 per respin, and you win +10 free spins when 3+ scatters land.
- The high volatility Sticky Wilds Bonus Round awards 8 free spins, and a random pre-selected symbol turns into a sticky wild when it lands on reels 2 to 5. You win +3 extra spins for each reel you fill with sticky wilds.
Finally, non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can take advantage of the Bonus Buy option. This means that you don’t have to wait for the feature to trigger organically, as you can simply cough up 100x your stake to get 3+ guaranteed scatters on the spin that follows.
The 200 Spins Magician's Secrets Slot Experience
You get a brief taste of the base game grind, before we purchase the bonus round at 0:45 into the 5:25-minute highlights video. The magician does his thing with the crystal ball, and we decided to go for the high volatility sticky wild bonus round first.
We buy the expanding wilds bonus round right after, and you can check it all out for yourself by hitting the play button.Review Summary
Pragmatic Play has conjured up a decent enough fantasy slot with Magician's Secrets, but the gameplay never sucked us in enough to even care what the “secrets” from the title may be. The expanding wild feature can lead to decent top-up wins in the base game due to the random multiplier, and with 4,096 win ways the 5,000x potential can, in theory, be cracked from a single spin in all stages of the game.
Of course, you’re more likely to close in on this hard-capped max win when the bonus round triggers, and we presume the most volatile option is your best bet in that regard. The possibility for an up-front scatter payout of 2,000x is unusually solid, and the respins feature will usually prolong the expanding wilds bonus round. Overall, Magician's Secrets has its moments, like so many games do, but it failed to make a lasting impression that would compel us to return to this game anytime soon.
Pros
- Random expanding wilds w/ up to x10 multiplier
- 2 FS options w/ expanding or sticky wilds
- 100x Bonus Buy (not for UK players)
- Win up to 5,000x your stake
Cons
- Might be too volatile for casual players
