Magic Portals is a striking looking slot. The background is a swirling dark blue, while many of the brilliantly designed symbols have a malevolent air, none more so than the dragon. The only way the design could have improved is by the addition of some animation on the reels, instead of the simple glowing of the symbols. Don’t worry though, the wizards and sorceresses in the Magic Portals video slot are on your side and they are only too happy to lavish you with magical wins – up to a maximum of 64,000 coins! Explore a Magical.
This five-reel slot pays from left to right, with payouts coming your way when landing three or more symbols in a row on a win line. The female red fiery character pays 500 coins for landing the maximum five in a row, the white-bearded wizard pays 300 coins and the icy blue female pays 200 coins. You’ll notice that each of the symbols is linked to one of the three characters. The red fiery female is linked to the dragon and the red orb, which pay 175 and 100 coins respectively. The white-bearded wizard is linked to the owl and the green orb, which pay 150 and 75 coins respectively. Finally, the icy blue female is linked to the wolf and the blue orb, which pay 125 and 50 coins respectively.
Wilds are a big part of the game, although you won’t actually find any of these spinning on the reels. On the middle row of reels one and five you’ll find a circle around the symbols (this is the magic portal itself). If you manage to land the same symbol in each of these portals, both of the matching symbols will now turn wild. Additionally, if the same symbol appears anywhere else on the reels, this will become wild too. This can lead to spins where a large number of wilds will fill the reels, almost ensuring a big win.
This unique use of the wild means that at every spin you’ll be looking at reel 5 and hoping to land that matching symbol, which certainly makes for a much more entertaining base game than usual.
On reels 1 and 5 you’ll find a ‘free spins’ symbol. To activate these free games you’ll need to land this symbol in each of the two magic portals. You’ll now have 10 free spins, although each of these spins has a huge bonus, as you’ll find reel five filled with three magic portals. If you can match the symbol in the portal on reel one with any of the three within the portals on reel five, these will become wild, as will any matching symbols on the reels. With matching symbols being much more likely, those big wins are never far away. Of course, if you manage to land the free spins symbol in the portal on reel one, you’ll have 3x the chance of re-triggering an additional 10 free spins and in playing the game, we found this was retriggered very often.
