Magic Portals Slot

And in case there are more identical icons on the playing field, they will also be magically transformed into Wilds. And that is how the money magic happens!

This 25 paylines Magic Portals slot has a truly original way of handing out Wilds, combined with rings of fire and bombastic sound effects for an exciting magic show!

The slot comes with Medium Volatility and an RTP of 96.60%, while the maximum payout is capped at 64000 CAD coincidingly (if you play at the max bet of 250 CAD, which is calculated at 256x the total bet, i.e. super deficient for today’s standards).

Personal testers’ opinion about the Magic Portals slot

• All it takes for this machine to show its mood is around 30-50 spins. If there are many Wilds generated on the win lines, continue. If not, better move on to the next machine.
• The probability of hitting any win is around 33.43%. This is because up to 66% of the pool is paid in the main game, and 34% is reserved for the bonus payouts.
• Statistically, the Free Spins feature is activated every 120th spin (0.83%).
• Nowadays, Magic Portals is not as popular as it once was, which logically has a negative effect on the prize pool.

Review and recommendations by the testing team

• Even though the graphics and the design may be outdated, we can still take a closer look at this slot from a player’s point of view. Very rarely you’ll see a high-paid combination during the main game and even during the Free Spins. It often teases you with one Scatter in the left portal, and other symbols also don’t come too often like pairs in the portals. The payouts in the base game are far from great. During our long testing sessions, Free Spins were triggered around every 120 spins. During Free Spins, it’s likely to be rewarded with a re-trigger. Once, we got 3 re-triggers at once, which resulted in a big win of 400x total bets. The 3 Magic Portals on the right reel increase the chance of getting 2 identical symbols on the left Portal and 1 of the 3 right Portals significantly. This occurs statistically 4-5 spins out of 10. When a large number of symbols are replaced by Wilds, quite big payouts are rewarded with values of up to 100x total bets. In summary, for the whole Free Spin feature, our payouts were around 250x-300x total bets.
• Only with a big bet balance (at least 250 bets), enough to stay around till the Free Spins, we can give some positive recommendations for this game with real and bonus money.

How to win at the Magic Portals slot machine? (Conclusion)

• We always start with the same wise advice – Test the slots in DEMO mode before you start playing with real money.
• Normally, this slot shows its mood at the start of the session (30-50 spins). If you see many Wild symbols being generated by the portals, keep on playing. If they don’t result in big payouts, think about leaving the slot.
• The starting bankroll should be about 250 bets, just enough to survive until the Free Spins are triggered. That’s where the biggest payouts are issued, as usual.
• For the Magic Portals slot machine, we suggest you place small bets and if you notice that the Free Spin symbol only lands in the first Portal, consider breaking your session temporarily. If you are in a negative series of spins, you can also try to influence the cycle by pushing – Max Bet.
• We recommended this game to bonus hunters, but they, too, have to test it in DEMO mode first.
