Magic Boxes is a 5-reel 25-payline slot from Microgaming featuring 3 wild symbols, a scatter and a free spin feature with up to 24 free spins. The game is devoted to magic and there are a few themed symbols such as a black top hat, multicolored boxes and so on; these are accompanied by a set of standard playing cards which are traditionally lower-paying symbols in the slot. To change your total spin bet, you can select a coin value from $0.01 to $0.25 and select the number of coins from 1 to 20. So the minimum bet accepted in the slot is $0.25 per spin and the maximum is $125.

Bonus features

The slot has three wild symbols that are represented by a red, green and blue magic box. In a base game, they act in the same way, substituting for non-feature symbols and helping them complete winning combinations, so there is no difference which one shows up on the reels.

There is a special bonus symbol depicted by a black Eight ball. This is a scatter that pays up to $10,000 if five of them appear in any position. Three and more scatters activate 8, 16 or 24 free spins, respectively. During free spins, you do not have a regular multiplier that would increase all winnings without exception. However, the three wild magic boxes that produce the same effect in a base play become more powerful symbols in free spins. For the entire duration of bonus free spins, every red, green and blue wild box has a multiplier of x2, x3 and x4, accordingly. These multiplier values apply only to the wins where a specific wild symbol substitutes for a non-feature symbol. If two or more magic boxes of different colors are involved in a winning combo, the lower-valued box (for example, a red one) would change its color to become the same as the higher-valued box visible on the reels (for example, a blue one), so you would get two blue boxes, both having a x4 multiplier. Due to wild multipliers, the FS feature can generate very good payouts.

Finally, any winnings can be gambled in a Microgaming’s typical Double Up feature where you are to guess correctly a card color or a card suit.
