Ian may not be a name which conjures up images of mystery and illusion but add it on to the end of the word ‘Magic’ and you have the title of this online slot from Blueprint Gaming; Magic Ian is a conjuror with many extra features to hand out as well as expanding reels – find out how it works below.
Magic Ian is a five reel slow with three rows and up to fifty paylines; Ian dominates the area above the reels and this space will be used later as we discuss how the features work.
The high value symbols are a range of magical items including the game’s logo, a glowing top hat, a locked box, some playing cards and a bunch of flowers; playing card symbols represent the lower values.
A white rabbit is wild and it replace all others to help form winning matches except for the Ian bonus symbol. Various other wilds appear during the features.
Bonus Features
Magic Ian Bonus
This is triggered by landing three of the Ian bonus symbols anywhere on reels two, three and four; you’ll now get to pick cards which will upgrade aspects of the Wheel of Fortune or add features to it. When you find the card which says ‘Spin’, the wheel will spin to reveal one of the following features:
- Cash Prize – awards a multiplier of the total bet.
- Magic Rope Spins – awards free spins with a Magic Rope wild which will heighten its reel by one position up to a maximum of eight.
- Teleport Spins – a second set of reels appears in the gap above the other one and during the spins, any wilds landing will transfer to the other reel.
- Levitation Spins – awards free spins in which wilds will appear from the bottom of the screen and land on the reels; the reels can also expand up to eight positions high.
- Metamorph Spins – awards free spins in which a wild landing on reels two, three or four will expand all reels one position and award one more spin.
None of the free spins can be retriggered from within this round.
