Mystical Wizard is a slots game available at FreeSlots. It isn’t nearly as complicated as Olympics, which is a HUGE relief for me. ^_^
If you couldn’t guess by the name, Mystical Wizard is a fantasy-themed game. Some of the pictures look like they’re straight from a book of fairytales.
You can play up to 9 lines, which you should absolutely do. (Remember, at FreeSlots you can never run out of tokens!)
Wilds
This game is a little unusual when it comes to wilds. Why? Because there are two completely different types of wilds!
First, we have a goose that lays golden eggs.
Duck. Duck. Duck. Duck. Duck. Duck. GOOSE!!! *Runs*
The goose “sticks” to the board for two spins, and on the 3rd spin it turns into a golden egg! The egg/wild sticks to the board for three more spins, and then it goes away.
If geese are too tame for you, then wait for the dragons! When a dragon appears it will blow fire into the next wheel, turning icons into wilds!
The dragon can only set fire to what’s directly next to it, and sometimes (like in the above picture) it can set fire to the entire wheel. This means that a dragon on the bottom of the wheel can only set fire to one item. A dragon at the top of the wheel might set fire to 1, 2, or 3 items. It’s pretty random. ^_^
The dragonfire wilds apply as soon as they catch fire, and then they’ll stick in place for the next five spins.
Wizards
The wizards have two different roles. If you get a wizard on the middle row, in any one of the middle reels, the wizard will shuffle the icons that surround him.
In the pic below, the wizard is in the red box and the icons in the neon-green boxes are what he shuffles.
The shuffle rarely impacts the board in a significant way. I’ve never had it change a non-winning spin into a MEGA-winning spin. So don’t sweat it too much.
Now if the wizard gets two other wizard friends on the board, then it’s time for magic!
Ooh! Make me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!
The three wizards trigger a mini-game, and the entire board vanishes only to be replaced by a field of crystal balls. Click on a crystal ball to find out what’s underneath!
If you’re lucky you’ll find a gem, which means you can click on another crystal ball! But if you find a dragon, it’s game over. :( All of the remaining crystal balls will vanish, so you can see what you missed. (And see where the other dragons were hiding.)
The numbers beside each gem are token values. In the picture above I just earned 90 tokens!
Sometimes when you hit a dragon, a wizard will appear and save your butt. It *usually* happens if you find a dragon within your first few clicks, but I’ve had the wizard save me after I’d cleared half of the board too. o_O He’s a little bit random.
But the fun doesn’t end there. ^_^ When you switch back to the regular board you’ll see a list of gems on the side, and as you spin you’ll see gems ALL over the board!
Once again, the number beside each gem tells you how many tokens it’s worth. There’s one thing that puzzles me though. Spin after spin, you’ll get oodles of gems until they run out. But how can you tell how many gems you’ll get? Is it random? (It seems to be.)
I hate not knowing. >_<
Anywho, that’s the end of the guide to Mystical Wizard!
Final Rating
At first I didn’t enjoy Mystical Wizard because I kept losing. Frankly, I would have given up if I was playing for myself. *^_^*
Then I got three wizards, and suddenly I was sitting on hundreds of tokens. Woohoo!!
And that’s really the only way to get lots of tokens here. The winnings from the regular paytable are pitiful, even with the wilds helping out. But once you reach the minigame you can easily get 300-500 tokens in a short amount of time.
Winning big is exciting, but I prefer my slot games to be a little more balanced. Long, uninterrupted losing streaks are hardly my idea of fun.
I rate Mystical Wizard 3.5 stars out of 5. It’s moderately enjoyable, but not something I’ll stick with. What would you rate it?
And while we’re chatty, what’s your ideal slot game like? I wanna know! ^_^
