Triple Magic Pokie
Developed by Microgaming, Triple Magic is a classic pokie that has just 3 reels and a single payline but manages to pull a couple of extra treats out the hat with wild symbols with multipliers and a big jackpot that’s paid out for lining the right symbols up across the line.
Fans of Microgaming 3 reel pokies will immediately recognise the layout and gameplay of Triple Magic, which is part of the attraction of this type of game. Players like the format and enjoy trying out different ones with varied imagery and symbols, while the very fact that it comes from Microgaming means that it’s a reliable game that will pay out a fair return.
Wand-ering to Triple Magic
While no-one could say this is the most exciting looking pokie ever created, lots of people like the simple format that just spins up winning combinations with no bonus rounds or side games to distract from this.
So we see the reels in one corner, with the game title, surrounded by lightning for some reason, below them and a table that lists how much players win each time matching symbols land across the payline taking up the right side of the game.
Below is the standard set of control buttons that Microgaming add to most of their 3-reelers and here is where players decide how much to stake on each spin. The options are to have as little as 1 coin in play, valued at 0.25, going up to 0.50, 1.00, 2.00, 5.00, 10.00, 20.00, 25.00 and maxing out at 50.00. They can also play with 1 or 2 coins although while some pokies have enhanced wins for playing with the maximum number of coins, there’s no difference here.

Payout Details
The payout table details what combinations will win how much and it’s largely filled with conventional symbols that have been seen on numerous games before, starting with cherries that pay out 2x the stake when just a single example lands on the line. Next up, we see that any combination of the single, double or triple Bars is worth 3x, with the cherries making a second appearance next when they pay 5x whenever 2 land on the line at once.
The single Bar symbol will be worth 10x the bet amount when it fills the payline and it’s the cherries turning up once more when they pay 20x for a full line of 3 across the reels. Double Bars reward players with 25x their bet and the triples are at 50x, while the red 7 symbol, which is often a high-paying icon, is valued at 100x the bet.
A Star is the Star
There’s been nothing related to the theme of magic so far and that doesn’t change much with the most valuable symbol. The star has a couple of functions, paying out 800x the bet when landing right across the line, while it’s also a wild symbol that can act as any other if it will complete a winning combination.
For an extra treat, it will double the base value of a win if just a single wild helped to complete the line, while having 2 wilds and a regular symbol on the line will quadruple the win. For example, if 2 cherries and a wild appear, the win will be twice the amount that 3 cherries would be worth, or 4x the stake, while landing 2 wilds and a single cherry will pay 8x the stake.
The Verdict
This is a typical example of the 3 reel, single line pokies that Microgaming are so well known for, and it’s none the worse for it. Pokies of this type are popular for a good reason, namely that players can spin up lots of winning combinations and potentially land some big payouts, with 800x the stake being worth up to 20,000.00.
So anyone looking for a classic game with lots of winning opportunities could try this one out. Just don’t be looking for much in the way of elaborate design flair as there really isn’t much at all.
