The Magical Stacks slot game is a 5 reel, 20 payline video slot created by Playtech. This game has a colourful anime inspired theme with the setting being in the Japanese city of Tokyo.
The pink-haired and white-haired girls are the wilds and you will see the pink-haired girl in the main game and the white haired girl in the free spins round. The cube with a question mark is a bonus symbol and the scatter is a white cat that triggers one of the features. The Chinese coin has an advanced function within the free spins.
High value symbols in this game are of the standard fruit kind including purple sevens, bells, bars, watermelons and cherries. Low values are designed in a typical Japanese style and include A, J, Q and K which is a common things in most casino slot machine games.
Magical Stacks Slot Features and Symbols
Magical Stacks slot has 2 wild symbols depicted as female anime characters (pink-haired and white-haired girls). As we have mentioned before, the pink-haired girl is the Wild symbol during regular spins in the main game while the white-haired girl is the Wild during Free Spins in the bonus game. Both Wilds substitute for all the symbols except for the Cat and the Chinese Coin symbols.
Magical Stacks slot has a mystery symbol, and stacks of these mystery cubes will appear randomly during the base game. These can transform in any symbol except into the Scatter Cat and the Chinese Coin symbols. All mystery symbols will change into the same symbol on the same spin. The scatter symbol in this game is the white cat and it can create scatter wins. Landing 3 or more scatter symbols on the reels activates the Super Magical Free Spins feature. Additional 3 or more scatter symbols will re-activate the feature.
The RTP for magical Stacks is 95.03%
Magical Stacks Slot Bonus Features
Magical Stacks includes two separate bonus features, Mystery Stacks and Super Magical Free Games.
Super Magical Free Games
This is bonus feature is triggered by landing three or more cat scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. Once triggered, you will receive 10 spins with an initial multiplier ranging between x2 and x5. Multipliers cannot go below x2 nor get higher than x5. Each time you land a Chinese coin on reel five the multiplier will increase by 1x up to a maximum of 6x; each time you fail to land a coin on reel five the multiplier will decrease by 1x to a minimum of 2x. Landing more scattered cats will earn more free spins indefinitely and more cubes will always appear during this round.
Mystery Stacks
Stacks of the mystery cubes will appear randomly in the base game and more often in the free spins round; these cubes will transform into the same symbol, offering the opportunity for some big wins if they match what’s already on the reels. The cubes cannot become wilds or the Chinese coin.
Compared to traditional Playtech video slots, Magical Stacks is somehow odd perhaps due to its Japanese styled theme. However, this doesn’t mean that the game is not fun– it’s action-packed, colourful and loud and those bonus features can result in some big wins. If you are a sucker for anime inspired video slots, you will definitely love this game.
