Magic Portals has been with us since August and it arrived with a fair amount of pomp and ceremony. Starting with the facts, what you have is a Net Entertainment release with a relatively standard 5 reel, 25 pay line configuration. There is a lot that is good here but there is also a fairly serious negative.
Let’s start with the good. As you would have come to expect by now with a Net Entertainment online slot, the look of the game can’t be faulted. The fantasy based theme has suitable amounts of the magical and mystical including wizards, warlocks, witches, owls, and wolves. The whole atmosphere of the slot is enhanced by a slightly haunting soundtrack, which compliments the look. Also to be commended is the innovative wild strategy. Net Entertainment had decided to take the Wild and Scatter symbols and make them more dynamic.
To explain, there is no set Wild in this slot as such. Instead, you have one magic portal space on reel 1 and one magic portal space on reel 5. If a symbol appears on both of these magic portal spaces on the same spin then that symbol turns Wild. In addition, any of identical symbols that have appeared across the reels on that same spin will also turn Wild. Clearly this provides increased winning combination potential.
The game also boasts a free spins feature which will launch if you manage to hit Free Spins symbols in both magic portals spaces on reels 1 and 5 simultaneously. You will be awarded 10 free spins and another two magic portal spaces will appear on reel 5. The re-trigger will fire by landing the Free Spins symbols in the magic portal spaces during the free spins.
This is all good stuff but here is the negative and it’s a significant one. You don’t win all that much. That is not to say you don’t win often, you do. But the Magic Portals regards big wins as $60-$100. If you are looking for size-able rewards (and who isn’t?) you may come away feeling a little short changed. That said, the game is clearly geared to appeal to a sizable market demographic at the lower to mid range betting scale. In fairness, if you are looking for higher stakes and rewards, there are many other options out there for your appetite. Magic Portals can certainly hold visual interest and winning combinations are frequent enough to keep the player engaged for lengthy periods.
