Mystic Secrets

Whenever any word revolving around mystery appears, chances are, more people will get intrigued. Novomatic seems to be fully aware of it. We’ve seen it on many an occasion, notably – here. Unlike with the latter, however, Mystic Secrets is a fairly good slot we heartily recommend. It features decent visuals and soundtrack, thrilling bonus games, and lucrative payouts.

Theme

The reels seem to be obscuring some kind of enchanted valley. We believe the building in the upper left corner to be a castle (in any case, something along those lines). The main screen is colorful (perhaps too colorful for the theme chosen), but, you know, in a good way… Oh well, take a peek and you’ll see what we mean! The soundtrack is oriental – just what we expected! Quite a satisfying setting, all in all.

Betting Options and Other Functions

Mystic Secrets is a 5-reel, 10-payline high-variance slot. The betting range is from $0.01 to $5 per line bet. The RTP stands at 95.06%. Only one coin per line can be wagered. The jackpot stands at 50.000 coins.

Regular symbols comprise the royal suit, a chalice, a scroll, a candlestick, a maid (looks like one), and a page (see previous).

Payouts:

• 10, J, and Q pay out 50, 200, and 1.000 coins for 3, 4, and 5 symbols, respectively; 
• K and A pay out 100, 500 and 2.000 coins for 3, 4, and 5 symbols, respectively; 
• Candlestick pays out 200, 1.000 and 6.000 coins for 3, 4, and 5 symbols, respectively; 
• Chalice pays out 200, 1.000 and 8.000 coins for 3, 4, and 5 symbols, respectively; 
• Maid pays out 300, 2.000 and 10.000 coins for 3, 4, and 5 symbols, respectively; 
• Page pays out 300, 3.000 and 20.000 coins for 3, 4, and 5 symbols, respectively.

All wins pay left to right.

Features

The scholar symbol acts as the game’s wild. It substitutes for all symbols except for the scatter and pays out 100, 300, 5.000, and 50.000 coins (2, 3, 4, and 5 of them lined up, respectively).

The spellbook symbol is the scatter. Lining up 3, 4, or 5 of them will award you 500, 5.000, and 50.000 coins, respectively, and trigger the bonus mode (10 free spins awarded).

The Mystic Bonus and the Gamble:

During the bonus round, two wilds will expand to cover the entire reels they landed on (provided there are no scatters). In plain words: two wild reels are granted for the duration of the feature.

Mystic Secrets also features the gamble button. Nothing out of the ordinary: you’ll get to pick the color of the next card to be drawn. If successful, your wager will double. If not you’ll lose it. End of story.

Our Take

As already mentioned, Mystic Secrets is a more-than-decent slot, similar to other Novomatic’s products. If you’re a fan of theirs, don’t skip this one! Actually, don’t skip it even if you aren’t. Just keep in mind that this is a high-variance game - big wins are to be expected during the bonus round. Give Mystic Secrets a spin or two today!
