ABOUT
Ancient Magic slot is set in a deep, dark forest, perfect for the secret gathering of the witch covens. Here the magic potions are cooked, spells are cast and unsettled spirits are making the Ouija Board go crazy with their messages from beyond.
Gamomat tackled the dark side of magic in this game, but the visual result is not that impressive. The release resembles the oldies from the beginning of online slot history, both in design and gameplay. But maybe that was the point, as simpler titles are making a comeback.
Betting Options & Bonus Features
This slot inspired by occult features rather simple book-style gameplay on a 5x3 grid with 5 fixed paylines. If mystic forces are on your side, there’s a possibility of hitting the big wins of up to 5,000x the bet. This is a highly volatile game with an RTP of 96.12% and a surprisingly narrow betting range from €0.05 to €3.
Supreme witch is at the top of the paytable, awarding 1,000x the stake for five of a kind. Ominous black raven also brings higher payouts, while a potion and candles are cards with medium value. Royals A, K, Q, J and 10 represent symbols with the lowest value.
Ouija Board is a Wild with the power to substitute all regular symbols, awarding the payout of 2x to up to 20x the bet. At the same time, this symbol is a Scatter as well. Three or more landing simultaneously on reels trigger 10 free spins.
The free spins feature starts with the random draw of a Bonus Symbol. Any card can become this special symbol except Wild Scatter. In case that a witch takes the role of a Bonus symbol, multiple Wilds on one line count as a combination raven if it’s the highest win on this line.
Gamomat often includes a Gamble feature to make gameplay more interesting for risk-takers, and Ancient Magic is no exception. In fact, here you’ll find not just one, but two gambling options, available after every spin if the Autoplay isn’t on. You can choose a card or ladder gamble for a chance to double a spin win or lose it all. However, gambling is not an option in the case of higher wins which is a bummer.
Roshtein’s Take
Some dark magic is definitely present in this slot. It’s the only logical reason why it has ever seen the light of day. Even if I pass over the unappealing visuals that feel like a bad reskin of Crystal Ball slot without any of its good sides, the next in line is the gameplay which is dull.
The overall winning potential and high value of regular symbols is the only thing that stops Ancient Magic slot from being a total Brian. Either way, I personally don’t care much for these types of games, especially when they are this boring.
