Spellbinding Mystery

Spellbinding Mystery Overview

Spellbinding Mystery is a wizard-themed cluster slot from Pragmatic Play, released on 20 June 2023. It is played on a 7x7 grid, and wins come from clusters of at least seven matching symbols connected horizontally or vertically. Pragmatic Play’s game page gives an RTP of 96.04%. SlotCatalog lists high volatility, a maximum win of 10,000x the bet and stakes from 0.10 to 100.

Theme and Symbols

An old bearded wizard with a glowing staff stands beside the grid, in front of his cottage in a dark enchanted forest. The grid is framed in twisted wood and filled with magical items: a green spellbook, a blue wizard’s hat, a rolled scroll and pink and green potions, plus four coloured runes in red, purple, blue and orange. Golden coins marked with a W are the Wilds.

Paytable

The in-game rules pay clusters from 7 up to all 49 positions. At a bet of 100, seven spellbooks pay 150 (1.5x), while a full grid of 49 spellbooks pays 50,000, or 500x the bet. A full grid of any rune pays 10,000, which is 100x the bet.

Mystery Symbols and Wilds

Pragmatic Play describes mystery symbols that add to the game’s magical aura. According to SlotCatalog’s review, every mystery symbol in view turns into the same randomly chosen paying symbol at the end of a spin, but never into a Wild or a Scatter. Wilds substitute for paying symbols and, in the base game, can carry random multipliers up to x5. When several multiplier Wilds join the same cluster, their values are multiplied together.

Free Spins

SlotCatalog reports that three scatters on reels 2, 4 and 6 award 10 free spins. Mystery symbols mark their positions during the round, and each marked position turns into a mystery symbol on every following spin. Pragmatic Play adds that held mystery symbols become sticky and increase by 1x for each spin they are part of. Wilds in the round always carry multipliers of x2, x4, x6, x8 or x10. Where allowed, the round can be bought for 100x the bet.

Our Demo Spins

At a bet of €100, a spin with two golden W Wilds low on the fifth reel paid €475. The largest part, €400, came from a cluster of 13 symbols. A glowing blue orb had also landed at the top of the grid.

Our Take

Spellbinding Mystery is built around mystery symbols and multiplying Wilds. The free spins, with their growing number of marked positions, are where the big wins are. The free demo on the left runs without registration.
