The Great Reveal

While magic shows may seem like good and wholesome fun, they are actually nothing more than bloodthirsty competition between viewers and the magician. The eyes of the audience are constantly glued to the performer, watching his every move, trying to figure out the trick. Meanwhile, the magician deceives and woos the crowd, distracting them to pull off the impossible, leaving them in equal measures amazed and annoyed that they could not discover how it was done. But maybe you will succeed in uncovering the secret, and leaving with your pockets full of cash because of that! The slot is played on a 5×4 playing field with 40 fixed paylines. The game’s bonuses include the Wild Reveal special feature and three different free spins.

The title’s graphics left us feeling a bit mixed. Playtech seems to have gone with the quality over quantity route. Not all symbols have an animation which plays after they win. Yet, we do see some cool animations when a full reel of Wilds appears or a key lands on the reels and is used to unlock one of the padlocks. The reels and background image are also done superbly, blending into each other to create the illusion of an actual stage where the slot is being played. The Great Reveal is played on a slightly taller 5×4 playing field that awards its pays by connecting three or more identical icons in adjacent positions following one of forty active paylines, from left to right. The game does not offer much in terms of bonuses, but the ones that do appear do so quite often.

Players can wager between $0.10 up to $500 per spin, which is an amazing betting spread for casual gamblers and high rollers. The title has a medium variance, and an RTP between 96.06 up to 96.10%, both being compared to other slots by the same developer. The maximum win is worth 400x your total bet.

Players will find letters J, Q, K and A, as well as a deck of playing cards, a lovely red rose, a magician’s hat and wand, a speeding white rabbit, a flying dove, and the magician himself. There are five different Wilds, each appearing on a different reel and covering it entirely. The game’s logo is used as Scatter and triggers the free spins. Above each reel are two padlocks, which can only be unlocked when a golden key icon appears on the same field. Once both padlocks are opened, a full-reel Wild appears in that position for two turns. After getting three Scatters on the second, third and fourth reel, players can choose three different free spins special features:

• Three extra turns with three stacked Wilds on each spin

• Six free spins with two or three stacked Wilds every turn

• Ten bonus turns with two stacked Wilds on every spin
