About Magic Boxes
Magic Boxes is a magician themed video slot from Microgaming. This isn’t their usual cup of tea in terms of design, and that shouldn’t be too surprising, since it has been designed with an old-school look and feel. Magic Boxes offers up a 5-reel, 25-line retro gaming platform, and players are not going to be able to alter those paylines as they play. They can alter the value of their coins and the number of coins they wager per line, though. Expect minimum bets to cost players 0.25 per spin, whilst maximum stake bets can cost upwards of £100 per spin on this slot. Magic Boxes comes with a non-progressive jackpot of 100x your total bet to win.
Special Features
There aren’t actually that many special features included in the design of the Magic Boxes slot machine game. That is surely going to put a lot of players off. Players can find special symbols in the form of magic eight balls. These scatter symbols can trigger a free spins bonus round when 3, 4 or 5 of them appear on the reels of the slot in any position.
Wild symbols are also present in the slot, and come in the form of magic boxes, as the slot’s title suggests. These symbols can only appear on the three central reels (two, three and four) and can substitute for all standard paying icons. They can also multiply any winning combinations in which they appear by up to 4x.
A gamble feature has been included in the Magic Boxes slot, and after any win players may choose to trigger it. If they do, they can expect to be able to partake in a petite gambling game, although your odds of success in this feature are not particularly brilliant.
Bonus Feature
The free spins bonus feature can see players begin with 8 free spins if they land 3 scatters on the reels of the slot. Land 4 scatters on the reels of the slot and you can begin the free spins bonus round with 16 free games. Players can start Magic Boxes’ free spins bonus round with 24 free spins if they land all 5 scatters on the reels. During the bonus round, multipliers are made possible with coloured boxes, and can range up to 4x, in much the same manner as wild symbols in the base game and free spins bonus.
