Mystic Mirror

The Mystic Mirror online slot is a game by Red Rake Gaming that draws you into a fantasy woods setting. There are unicorns on the reels and in the background, and you'll see a beautiful mountain forest landscape behind the set of reels.

The gameplay side of this title centers around a fairly uncommon format that puts players in the driver's seat of an exciting experience. The graphics are solid, and the way the features come together makes this game stand out a bit from the crowd while preserving chances to win some pretty impressive prizes.

Game Layout

First and foremost, players will notice a sixth reel on the right-hand side of the game that's optional. Activating this reel will double the size of your bets, but it will increase your return to player percentage, so you should always play with it. We will assume players are using it as we look at this game.

With that extra bet activated, there are three rows and six reels of symbols. Across those reels, players will have 10 paylines on which they can get paid, and those paylines cannot be changed. However, you can pick a variety of bet sizes that range from $0.16 per turn all the way up to $30 per spin. The sizes of your wins depend on how much you're betting, so we're going to assume that there's a bet size of $1.20 when discussing payouts. Yours will increase or decrease proportionately depending on how much you're playing for.

We want to note something about the sixth reel. If you aren't going to play with the sixth reel activated, then you should go ahead and find a different game to play because the penalty to your RTP percentage will mean that playing this title with only five reels is not worth it.

Wild Mystic Mirror Symbols

The name of this game actually comes from the wild symbol. It's a magical mirror, and it makes an appearance on all six reels. This symbol helps you to make the best possible winning combination on each individual reel, so there are cases where it can count for two different symbols at the same time.

This symbol also has some great mid-level payouts as a scatter as well. Six of a kind of this wild earns players 240x, and you can pick up 120x for five of a kind. The win for four is 12x, and a 1.2x prize is yours for three of a kind. Keep in mind that these are scatter wins, so they don't have to land left to right or on any particular reels to give you payouts.

Note also that the scatter wins for the wilds are separate from the wins they help you to get based on the paylines.

Mystic Mirror Free Spins Mode

Three or more scattered mirror symbols award you 10 free turns. When this feature starts, you'll see a regular symbol chosen at random. This symbol becomes the expanding symbol for the feature. After each spin's payouts are given normally, the expanding symbols will cover their entire respective reels to give you opportunities for even more payouts.

Other Wins and Prizes

The woman with long braids gets players a 900x win for six of a kind, and following that is six of the unicorn symbol for 300x. You can make it 120x for six of the gold and red medallion, and the same 120x prize is yours for six of the emerald and silver ring.

With the card rank symbols, there are two distinct levels of payouts. The first is for 45x, and that includes six of a kind combinations of the red A and blue K symbols. Down from there is the 30x payout level, and you can earn that with six of the green Q, golden J or purple 10 symbol.

In Summary

What you're going to find with the Mystic Mirror slot by Red Rake Gaming is that the format and feature set come together in a way that they feed off of each other to largely shape the overall experience. This is the type of thing that we really favor because players virtually always give these styles of slots great ratings and reviews. The free spins mode with the expanding symbols is particularly valuable, and we like the fact that the pay table offers a good value as well.
