Majestic Mysteries Power Reel (Red Tiger): Features
Large game areas and few paylines are two characteristics that make Power Reels notorious. Similar to other video slots, Majestic Mysteries has a matrix with 7 reels and 5 rows of symbols. The 30 fixed paylines are not quite as overwhelming. As long as at least three matching symbols appear side by side on neighboring reels, a winning line can begin anywhere. A highly volatile mathematical model that generates a theoretical return to player figure of 95.73% sits behind the enormous grid driving the action. The game can be played on tablets, smartphones, or desktop computers, with stakes ranging from 10 cents to £/€40 per spin.
This paytable features nine symbols that pay out regularly. Padded metal pieces in the shapes of clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades serve as lower-value symbols; they pay 1.6 to 3.2 times the bet for a seven-of-a-kind hit. The five more expensive jewelry-looking pieces increase in value, and a line of seven premiums is worth somewhere between 5 and 20 times the stake. Majestic Mysteries does not contain wild symbols in either the main game or the bonus game, which is unsurprising given that successful combinations pay from any starting reel.
Special Mystery Chests can appear on any reel. When one or more Mystery Chests appear on a reel, they lock into position and each displays a unique symbol, while all chests visible at the same time reveal the same kind of symbol. Mystery Chests duplicate themselves vertically on each subsequent spin. Mystery Chests become freed and depart the grid when they duplicate themselves across a whole reel.
When three scatter symbols land on the reels, the Free Spins bonus round for Majestic Mysteries is activated, awarding 10 free spins. When the free spins are initiated, any Mystery Chests that were locked to the reels carry over to the bonus game. Now, whenever Mystery Symbols enter the field of view, they stay fixed there for the duration of the feature. The bonus round cannot be retriggered because scatter symbols are not on the reels during it. Any Mystery Symbols that are still in position at the end of the free spins feature are those that haven't yet covered a reel.
Majestic Mysteries Power Reel (Red Tiger): Verdict
Red Tiger Gaming has a somewhat strange theme. The 95.73% RTP, which is lower than the industry average, and the maximum win cap, which tops out at just under x2500 the bet, make the numbers and win possibility less attractive.
Mysteries Power Reels is capable of some nice tricks, and the locking and cloning of chests can be interesting, but it's difficult to categorize this as a mystery, winding journey. True, there is a lot of usage of mystery symbols, but there isn't much else, and it's difficult to imagine Majestic Mysteries appealing to many people.
Since the Mystery Chest feature dies lock and clone, they can work well even in the base game because they suit the pay from any reel system. Since they are kept locked to the reels for the duration of the bonus round, Mystery Chests can be even more profitable during free spins.
