Spin Magic Pokie Machine
Styled to look like a Poker Machine in an actual casino setting, Spin Magic is a classic game that has just 3 reels and 5 paylines, but a couple of extra touches that can magically transform players bankrolls with big wins.
Like most games of this format, there’s not much of a theme going on, with just the image of a magician and the logo to distinguish it from similar titles, but let’s face it, few people are attracted to these games by their flashy style, as most like to concentrate on spinning the reels and picking up some nice prizes along the way.
Wand-ering To The Game
Backed up by a blurred image of a real casino, this game has the reels spinning in what has been designed to look like an actual gaming cabinet, complete with the control buttons angled towards the players.
It’s pretty effective and emphasises the traditional nature of this pokie although a side game that sees a Wheel of Fortune spinning up prizes certainly levitates this one above lots of others.
To determine how much to stake on the game, players simply adjust their line bet from as little as 0.10 to as much as 10.00 and then decide how many lines they wish to play, from just a single one to all 5.
Wins are created by landing 3 matching symbols across an active line, with a simple paytable above the reels displaying how many times the line bet will be won each time this happens.Three of the lines run horizontally across the top, middle and bottom of the reels, while the other two are diagonals running from the top corners to the bottom on the opposite sides.
The usual cherries, lemons and grapes make up the lower value wins, with 20x, 30x and 50x awarded respectively. To win more, players will want to land the Magician, who is worth 80x and the gold star that pays out 100x the line bet when landing across the reels. These are not the biggest wins ever seen with an online pokie, as the higher prizes are held back for players who manage to trigger the bonus round.

Conjuring Up Bonuses
Joining the main symbols on the reels are the Wheels of Fortune Bonus icons, and whenever 2 or more appear at once, players are magically transported to the bonus game which, perhaps inevitably, plays out on a big wheel.
This has different coloured sections to it and players just click to spin the thing and collect whatever prizes line up with a pointer. There’s none of the blank sections that so many similar games feature, nor will players win extra rounds, free spins or anything other than straightforward multipliers of the amount staked per line. Nice and simple, while also having the potential for an 8000x the line bet jackpot.
Spin Magic also has a simple gamble game that players can opt to take after any non-jackpot winning spin. To double the prize over and over, they need to correctly guess if the Magician will turn over a Red or Black playing card, but a wrong pick anywhere along the way forfeits the triggering win and any made so far in the gamble round. That’s why it’s called a gamble.
The Verdict
Spin Magic is a very traditional pokie with one trick up its sleeve. The basic symbols and 3-reel format make it look like an old-style game of the type that’s been gracing both online and land-based casinos for ages, and in many ways that’s exactly what it is.
But once players land those bonus symbols and get taken to the Wheel of Fortune, it all changes, with a guarantee of some sort of prize and the potential for some really big wins.
