Magikspell: Slot Overview

The online slot Magikspell is created by Fantasma Games and marks a return to the same grid style seen in their earlier title Caravan of Riches—a game we found had its ups and downs and left us slightly unsure overall. This second attempt keeps the reel layout intact but revamps the feature set, adding a longer-term progressive layer, boosting the math model, and making the game’s potential easier to understand.

Instead of Caravan of Riches’ market backdrop, players are dropped into Magikspell’s gothic world. It feels like the action is set beside a crypt, or perhaps outside a small chateau. Wherever the scene is meant to be, it’s dripping with atmosphere, and the studio has gone the extra mile with a superb orchestral soundtrack. Gameplay takes place on a 5-reel diamond grid in a 3-4-5-4-3 formation, with the Magik Meter and the Free Spins Multiplier shown above the reels.

Setting your stake in Magikspell takes a bit more planning than normal. The reason is that the collection meter is saved separately for each bet level—so if you change your bet, you effectively restart your progress. It’s worth remembering before settling on a wager, which ranges from 20 p/c or as high as $/€50 per spin. On the stats side, volatility is set to high this time, and the RTP has nudged upward to 96.08%.

Looking at the paytable, 10-A royals make up the lower-value symbols, while potions, blue objects, cups, books, and wizards sit at the top end. The game uses 20 fixed paylines for wins: five low symbols pay 0.5-0.75x the bet, while five premium symbols return 1.25 to 4 times the stake. Finally, wilds substitute for standard pay symbols to help form line wins, and they only enter play when generated via the Magikspell Wild feature.

Magikspell: Slot Features

Magik Wild feature

Another key set of symbols are the gems, which come in two kinds. Purple Gems can land on any reel in the base game; when one appears, its spot is highlighted with a purple Magik Ring. Purple Gems are also collected by the Magik Meter. In the base game, Purple Gems may randomly turn into Golden Gems, marking their location with a Golden Ring. On the following spin, Gold Ring positions turn into wilds, after which they also turn adjacent symbols with rings wild, plus the positions next to them. This chain is known as the Magikspell Wild feature. Once a position has converted into a wild, its ring is removed.

Magik Meter

Whenever a Purple Gem lands, 1 point is added to the Magik Meter. When the meter hits 50 and then 100 points, 3-8 Magik Rings are placed onto random grid positions. Once the meter reaches 150, the Free Spins Multiplier is upgraded in the following sequence – x1, x2, x3, x5, x7, x10, x12, x15, x20, x25, x50, x100, x150, and x250. After an upgrade, the Magik Meter resets to zero, and any points earned beyond 150 carry over. After reaching x250, the meter stops gaining points until free spins are triggered; when the free spins finish, the multiplier drops back to x1.

Magikspell Free Spins

Magikspell Free Spins are activated by landing 3 bonus symbols on reels 2, 3, and 4. Any positions showing Magik Rings or Golden Rings that didn’t become wilds on the triggering spins are carried over into the bonus and converted into Prize Gem symbols—these display bet multipliers. You then receive 3 spins, which reset whenever new Prize Gem symbols land and lock in place. If all positions on a reel are filled with Prize Gems, their values are collected, and then they are cleared so fresh Prize Gems can drop in. When the free spins end, the combined value of all Prize Gems is totalled and multiplied by the current free spins multiplier. All rings are cleared when play returns to the base game.

Magikspell: Slot Verdict

For players willing to stick with it, Magikspell can genuinely build momentum over time. The near parabolic climb of the Free Spins Multiplier is especially tempting for anyone with patience, and reaching x250 is a strong incentive. It’s not a “maybe” benefit either—once you advance the multiplier, it stays locked in until the next free spins trigger. Naturally, you’ll still need some fortune during the bonus to land worthwhile Prize Gems, but in theory it doesn’t take many Prize Gems—paired with an x250 multiplier, or even a smaller one—to produce a respectable result.

Fantasma has also made sure the base game has a smooth rhythm. Purple Gems appear often enough to keep the Magik Meter moving, and milestones arrive regularly to maintain a sense of progress. From time to time, a Golden Gem shows up and sparks a Magikspell Wild feature chain for a quick burst of excitement. These often seemed to happen on the later reels or didn’t always generate much even when they connected wins, but they still help pass the time while you grind through the Magik Meter. Fantasma never disclosed Caravan of Riches‘ max win, but Magikspell can deliver up to 20,000x the bet, so the long game may be worth it.

Because the progressive system is so structured, players more or less need to commit if they want to see Magikspell through to its peak. In a way, it’s like the Swedish film Logistics, which lasts 857 hours—Magikspell isn’t really designed for a random handful of casual spins. While many slots can theoretically unleash their biggest moments immediately, Magikspell takes its time before revealing its full firepower. The upside is that Fantasma has made the climb engaging, so determined grinders with a positive outlook may get a lot out of it.
