African Magic Slot
Luck and magic, fortune and voodoo, riches and preternatural powers. Think of them in the same stream of thought and you’d realise that there’s not much that separates all these entities. It’s all too difficult to put a finger on.
And when things get difficult, we resort to the powers that be! That’s pretty much all you will be required to do when you play African Magic, a spooky video slot developed by Casino Technology. Living in the wilderness of Africa asks too many questions of one’s character. When survival is the only motive left in one’s mind, it’s not a surprise that an intense bout of voodoo is all it will take to turn things around!
Be Warned – It’s Not Your Regular Slot!
In theme and presentation, more than anything else, African Magic is one of the strangest slots we have come across. While the themes of Native American life have been duly represented in various slots, it’s rather odd that African Natives have been sort of short-changed.
But this seems to be the end of it. With African Magic, a 5-reel and 25-payline non-progressive slot, we are sure that interest of players in this great continent that is often called as the birthplace of humanity will peak.
The first thing that catches one’s eye as the slot loads is the eerie beauty of cave-paintings in the background. As you play along, you will notice that sound effects of this slot are very uncannily spooky, as well – going hand in hand with the theme of voodoo. So, in terms of design, animations, choices of symbols and sound effects, African Magic is already a mega-hit in our records, especially as it plays wonderfully as a mobile game.
Summoning The Spells Of Glory & Chants Of Doom
Playing slots is, everything said and done, all up to what your luck holds in store for you. While winning thousands of dollars in a jackpot will be considered being lucky by many of us, it’d be interesting to note how many of us would think of not losing too much in the same vein.
That’s where African Magic will test your spirit, because this slot is as much about holding your own as it is about fortune. The symbols used here all evoke the true spirit of African life – voodoo masks of various shapes and colours, black-magic women, native weaponry, weird drawings and cards (9, 10, J, Q, K, A) designed to blend in with the rest of the theme.
Five symbols of the same kind in any row, as is the norm, pay out the highest in the base game. The highest paying symbols are those carrying red coloured voodoo masks. If you get five of them together in one row (if you are brave enough to handle that), don’t forget to collect your instant prize of 1,250 coins. Card symbols pay out the least, even when you get five of their kind.
Are You A Voodoo Child?
Well, if you are (in spirit, in the least), you should pat your back because your stars are making merry in the sky. There’s much to be looted in African Magic and only thing holding you back is yourself.
For starters, we are thrilled to let you guys know that African Magic features – wait for it – TWO wild symbols! It’s highly uncommon to come across a slot that has two wilds in the same gameplay round, hence all the excitement. Here’s more about these two wilds:
- A Magic Eye - The all-seeing Magic Eye is the regular wild of the slot. It can help you swap around to your mind’s content until you stumble upon high-paying combos. What’s more – this wild also carries a 2x multiplier (for one wild feature) and 4x multiplier (for two wild features).
- Black-magic Woman - A sultry black-magic woman is the bonus wild of the slot. While it can substitute all regular symbols, five of its kind in one row will unlock a mega-jackpot of 10,000 coins right away – no conditions apply.
There’s also a scatter icon(an Enchanted Hut) here to sweeten the voodoo spell. If you get the Enchanted Hut thrice on reel 3, 4 or 5, you will be presented with a gift-wrapped set of 15 free spins – all carrying a flat-out 2x multiplier. We haven’t wished harder for magic to be real than right now!
Magic And Wizardry
African Magic scores heavily in looks, gameplay and overall quality of playing experience. It is one of those slots that seem to pack too many good features in one neat package. Payouts are heavy and the game odds are evenly balanced. It would have been nicer to have bonus rounds, too. But as it is, you could do much worse than giving African Magic a go!
