Pragmatic Play · 2022
Magician's Secrets is a high volatility slot on a 6x4 grid with a Witchcraft theme. This page shows how it pays and how its bonus modes start.
On a six-reel, four-row grid with a Witchcraft theme, wins form from left to right. Symbols must land on adjacent reels starting from reel 1, and at least three matching symbols pay. The grid offers 4096 ways to win, so one spin can connect many paths. A Wild on reels 2 to 6 may expand to fill its reel and carries a random multiplier from x2 to x10 that applies to every combination it joins.
Three Scatter symbols or more open a choice of two free spin modes. Expanding Wilds gives 10 spins, and a Wild on reel 3 or 4 fills its reel and starts a respin cascade. Sticky Wilds gives 8 spins, and one random paying symbol turns into a Wild on reels 2 to 5. Multipliers on expanded Wilds rise by x1 with each respin.

Bonus modes
Most players worry about how a bonus starts, so each mode opens with its trigger.
Three or more SCATTER symbols open the SELECT FREE SPINS OPTION screen, and this mode gives 10 free spins. A WILD on reel 3 or 4 expands to fill the reel and starts a respin cascade. Respins pay until one produces no win, and its multiplier rises x1 per respin.
Base game10 free spins
With three or more SCATTER symbols, the SELECT FREE SPINS OPTION screen opens. This mode gives 8 free spins, and a random paying symbol, the Special Symbol, becomes a WILD on reels 2 to 5. WILDs stay sticky, and a full sticky reel in one spin adds 3 free spins.

Useful when a win or bonus appears and you want to know what the screen means.
Know before betting
Settles the order of a round, from the bet you pick to the point where you stop.
Before the reels turn, you set a stake anywhere from A$0.10 to A$100. Each win pays in proportion to that stake, and the figures on this page use A$0.50 and A$10.
Symbols pay once three or more line up left to right from reel 1. The 6x4 grid has 4096 ways to win, so one spin can pay many combinations.
Wilds on reels 2 to 6 can expand to fill a reel. Each combination with a Wild gets a random multiplier from x2 to x10.
Three or more Scatters open the SELECT FREE SPINS OPTION screen. Pick Expanding Wilds there to get 10 free spins, or use BUY FREE SPINS at 100x your total bet.
Spins keep running until you stop, and a session can end with more or less than you started with. Set your limit before the first spin.
Two ways in
Most people worry a practice round will quietly take their money.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs an account here and you must be 18+.
Play for realEach spin of Magician's Secrets lands on a random 6x4 grid, so the bonus round can come on the first spin or not at all. How often it comes is not known in advance. The result of one session is random whatever the RTP, because the return is only an average over a very large number of spins.
The reels pay according to one of two RTP versions, and the game rules are the only place where Retrobet Casino shows which version is live. Open the rules before you start a session and read the RTP there. A figure you remember from an earlier visit does not tell you what is running now.
Most spins on the reels end well below the top prize, and the maximum win is a ceiling that is reached very rarely. It needs several things to line up at once, such as expanded Wilds with high multipliers inside a bonus run. Build your expectations around the ordinary results, not the ceiling.
Magician's Secrets fans

Players must be 18+. Free help is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and you can register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Decide how much you can lose before you open the game, and treat that sum as the cost of playing rather than money to win back.
Choose a stop point before the first spin, and keep it after a win as well as a loss.
Use the deposit and loss limits on your account before a session starts, so the cap is already in place when the reels start turning.
If the game stops being fun, take a break. If you feel pulled back to the reels, consider self-exclusion.
Four quick answers
Most worries are about when the free spins start, how risky the game is and what it pays.
Three or more Scatter symbols open the free spins choice screen. There you pick Free Spins - Expanding Wilds, which gives 10 spins, or Free Spins - Sticky Wilds, which gives 8.
Magician's Secrets has high volatility. Wins can come in long gaps, and a large win can follow a run of small ones. How often the free spins or a big win arrive cannot be known before you play.
The paytable shows what each symbol pays at a bet of A$0.50. Bets start at A$0.10, so you can read the payouts and then choose a stake that fits your budget.
The maximum win is x5,000 times the bet. At a bet of A$10, that cap comes to A$50,000. Because the cap is a multiple of the stake, a bigger bet raises it.
