Street Magic from Play'n GO: Slot Review - feel the magic!

Magic is a wonderful thing, especially when done right as magicians all across the world astound audiences with unimaginable stunts and clever tricks that will leave your head spinning! This latest release from top software studio Play’n GO is inspired by up close and personal street magic which is notoriously difficult to perform. The game revolves around one such street magician who is smartly dressed, covered in tattoos, and about to put on a show for his captive audience. Let’s see if this magician can pull a rabbit out of his hat to make this slot a magical gaming experience?

Street Magic features 5 reels with 20 paylines and comes with Sticky Wilds, Wild Reels, and Free Spins.

Special Features

The first feature to discuss is the Wild symbol which is represented by an image of a golden card. This symbol replaces all other symbols to help form winning combinations on the reels apart from the Scatter symbol.

The Scatter symbol is illustrated by an image of the Street Magician and If you land 2 Scatters anywhere on the reels on the same spin then you’ll be awarded 1 of the following Magician Performance extras which are chosen at random:

• Wild Shuffle – 4 extra Wilds are added to the reels.
• Expanding Man – 2 Wilds expand to give you 2 fully Wild reels.
• Transporting Man – a 3rd Scatter is added to trigger the Free Spins feature.

You can also activate the Free Spins feature by landing the Scatter symbol simultaneously on reels 1, 3, and 5. Once triggered, you will then be given the choice to choose from a bunch of playing cards to give either 8, 10, or 12 Free Spins. If you land a Wild symbol during Free Spins then it will lock into place for the remainder of the feature. Another nice addition to Free Spins is that you can land Wilds on all the reels now and if you get 1 Sticky Wild on each reel then you will be awarded a Free Spins retrigger and get to choose from a pack of playing cards to receive a further 4, 6, or 8 Free Spins. This makes it possible to land up to 20 Free Spins in total for this excellent feature.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

The graphics are slick and super stylish as the game takes place in front a dark purple background covered with intricate patterns. Symbols are nicely polished and consist of the Magician, a Ring, a Lock, a Knife, Handcuffs, a Pocket Watch, and the standard Heart/Spade/Diamond/Club icons. The animations are visually stunning especially when the Magician appears on the reels and throws cards at the screen to trigger the various bonus features. I really like when he performs the Expanding Man trick to cover an entire reel and make it fully Wild. It's a real visual treat for the eyes!

The music is atmospheric and moody with lots of soft piano sounds used. It ties in quite well with the magic theme of the game.

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

The game has 20 paylines, a good RTP of 96%, and a superb maximum payout worth 5,000X your initial bet.

Below is a summary taken from the PayOut Table from the game. The amount won for each combination depends on the value of the bet when you spin the reels.

Our Verdict on Street Magic

Leading software producer Play’n GO created this slot and it’s one magic show definitely worth attending! Street Magic features exceptional graphics, an atmospheric soundtrack, and a wide range of bonuses to keep players entertained for many hours. The bonus features are nicely varied and trigger quite often thanks to the Magician appearing on the reels adding Extra Wilds or turning reels fully Wild. The most rewarding feature by far is the Free Spins bonus game as you can land Sticky Wilds on each reel to really boost your chances of taking home a big cash prize. Speaking of cash prizes, the top prize for this slot is a whopping 5,000X your initial wager! Variance-wise, I found this slot to be High so expect to go through many dry spins before eventually making a profit on the reels.
