True Illusions Introduction
True Illusions is a magical free online pokies game from Betsoft. Nothing is as it seems, and everything is a trick or an illusion - except your winnings, of course! The theme is classical stage magic: the illusionist and his glamorous assistant perform mind-boggling magic tricks before your very eyes, leaving the audience amazed and astounded and hopefully a bit better off.
Betsoft are renowned for creating beautiful 3D games, and True Illusions is a fine example of their craft. The characters are appealing - the stage magician, Professor J Magick, with his twirling moustache and air of mystery and danger, and Myra, the beautiful assistant who seems to defy death or at least gravity. There they stand on a traditional stage, ready to perform for you.
This game has a mobile pokies version, so you can take the magic with you wherever you go!
Playing with Magic
True Illusions has five reels and thirty paylines, so there are a multitude of magical combinations available. The backdrop is a traditional stage with heavy velvet curtains and spotlit figures. The symbols include the dove, waiting to be pulled safely from a hat which is also there, a crystal ball, a treasure chest and, of course, the classic playing cards used by so many illusionists.
There’s a close-up of the magician’s hand as he does a lion trick, and of course, there’s the guillotine, ready to cut the assistant in two. Or is it? You place your bets and away you go - the magic tricks pile up, and so do your winnings. There’s a Wild symbol, complete with sparkly magical stars, which can substitute for any of the other symbols to boost your winnings. You can bet amounts from 0.6 to 150 credits.
Find the Lady - or the Gentleman
As well as the Wild card symbols, the great Magician himself appears on the reels to rapturous applause from his audience. This is not just because of his theatrical talents or his sharp suit, but because when he appears three times he brings with him the Free Spin Bonus. These are cascading Free Spins.
No individual win is very high, but each time you win the winning symbols fall off the reel, allowing the other symbols to fall closer and closer together. Nice to look at - and even nicer to win! In addition, get the “Pick me” bonus round and Professor J Magick performs a range of clever tricks for you to choose from. Which trick will net you the biggest reward?
And for My Next Trick…
True Illusions has a lot to offer pokie fans. Betsoft have created a really theatrical and magical stage show with illusions galore as well as generous free spins and bonus rounds. The 3D animation livens the game and encourages the players to really enjoy themselves. Like all the best magic tricks, this pokie is fascinating to watch and deceptively simple once you know how to play!
