About Phantasmic Fortunes
A creepy, animated magician oversees gameplay which initially starts with 5 reels and 243 ways to win. The medium to high variance slot sees RTP set at just below the average at 95.98% and bets range from 20p up to £20 per spin.Set in what looks like a theatre with dark curtains in the background there’s piano music playing as you spin the reels. Card suits make up the lower-paying symbols, while a raven, pocket watch, potion bottle, magician’s hat, and playing cards account for the higher value symbols. The most lucrative is the Magicians hat awarding up to 5x the bet.The wild can land on any reel barring 1 and also diamond symbols landing expands the reels.
Gameplay
As I mentioned above, the gameplay starts with 5 reels and 243 ways to win. After landing a diamond symbol the Xpanding ways feature comes into play increasing the reel by 1 row. The ways to win also increase the more reels expand, up to 7,776.Five orbs are situated above the reels and each contains a prize. Once a reel expands high enough to reach the orb you are awarded the prize and the ways to win returns to 243.Each time an orb prize is awarded the prizes change again, you can also win up to two orb prizes on a spin. Prizes include Wild reels, random wilds added to the reels, and entry into the free spins feature.Speaking of the free spins feature, this also triggers after landing scatters on the reels and you start off with 243 ways to win. The same applies again after landing diamonds, the rows and ways to win start to increase. The orb prizes are considerably bigger in the free spins feature paying as much as 1,000x the bet. Again, after an orb win, the prizes and ways to win reset.Last but not least there’s a Magic boost feature. This happens after you land an orb or randomly during the free spins feature. This boosts the reels 1-2 sizes making it quicker to reach the orbs at the top of the reels and create more wins.
Conclusion
The new Xpanding reels mechanic from iSoftBet is a great addition and offers players more ways to win and a chance to reach the orbs and gain prizes. Competing with two rows to reach the orbs adds to the excitement. Maximum payouts in the game could reach 13,867x the total bet.
