Australian Magic Introduction
Australian Magic is a 5-reel, 25 payline pokie for online play from renowned Bulgarian developers, Casino Technology. Casino Technology offer a lot of games like this, giving you the chance to play for fun or real money, and the slightly different style of their games is turning out to be a real hit with gamers all over the world.
With this latest offering, the studio brings an aboriginal Australian themed video pokie into our homes. This is a complex game with lots of levels to the winning structure.
The Symbols
The game runs on a traditional casino pokie model, with a selection of symbols from a pack of cards as well as some other themed symbols. The pack of card symbols - the 9, 10, J, Q, K and A - are the lower values, while the specific Aussie symbols including the koala, the platypus and the kangaroo are higher scorers. There are also 2 aboriginal style characters.
The man is the Wild, while the woman is the Wild x2. There’s also the Uluru to look out for.
Playing and Winning
In Australian Magic, players are asked to enter the coin value before even getting into the game. This is a bit different but it means there’s one less button on the screen during play. Now players just need to hit spin and wait for combinations of 3, 4 or 5 of a kind to earn cash prizes. The 3 special symbols, the Wild man, the Wild woman and the Scatter Uluru all earn money in 3, 4 or 5 of a kind too.
As with all wilds, the man can substitute for any card except the other wild and the scatter. The wild woman however, has more power. Not only can she substitute for the same as the man but multiplies all wins by 2 if players use one in the combination, or 4 if players use 2 or more. The Scatter also needs to be in a combination of 3 to get any serious action.
Find 3 scatters on reels 3, 4 or 5 and players receive 15 free spins with a 2x multipliers on any wins they get. However, re-trigger the feature during that round and you can enter the Super Games bonus level. In this free spin, only high-pay symbols are featured. This means fewer symbols, more chances of making 3, 4, or 5 of a kind, and when you do make the combinations, they are of a higher value.
The Wild woman also shows up more often to double your money.
Gamble and Double Up
Any time a player wins less that 10x their stake, they are given the option to gamble their winnings to earn even more money. Players need to look to the opposite side of the screen to see the Double Up button. Hit this and you’ll be taken into a card game where you need to choose the colour of the card before the dealer turns it over.
A nice feature here is that you can halve your bet, so if you don’t want to risk the entire win you don’t have to. Overall, this is a great game to get into if you feel like having a little bit of Australian Magic.
