Magic Money Maze- Reel Kingdom/Pragmatic (Quick Review)

[Garf79]

Another release from ReelKingdom that has a board game feature! Following on from the moderate success of Snakes and Ladders this similar game offers players a pretty unique bonus mechanic. Magic Money Maze features American presidents that feature on Dollar bills.

               

Magic Money Maze is a 5 reel, 3 row, 10 win line slot and to be fair the base game is pretty dry. The draw for this slot is all about triggering the bonus by landing 3 or more Magic Money Maze Bonus Scatters. You can get some nice nice line hits in the base game with a line of top symbol paying 200x.

                       

The other ex-presidents pay 50x for a full line and I would like to see Reel Kingdom make their games variable lines so you could chose how many lines you wanted to play, giving the player the opportunity to change the volatility of the base game would add a little extra I feel.

                

The more scatters you land the better! If you land 5 scatters you start the bonus with 4 lives, land 4 scatters and trigger is 2 lives and if you land 3 scatters you start with a measly 1 life! Like I said above Magic Money Maze is all about the bonus and it really is quite fun.

              

This bonus round reminds me of the types of fruit machines you would find in pubs all across the UK in the late 1990's and early 2000's. The bonus is pretty simple to follow, you roll the dice and move your way around a board and it is a different board for every new bonus you trigger. This variation will keep players coming back I think as it adds a bit more variety to the game. The aim of the game is to collect money, presidents and get to the middle section of the board. Each time you make it to the middle the wins get multiplied and this is where the massive 10,000x potential of Magic Money Maze is achievable. If you land on a scorpion or snake then you lose a life, lose all your lives and it is game over!

                                  

The RTP of Magic Money Maze is pretty good at 96.61%, the max win is 10,000x which is very good, the hit rate is low for the base game and the main draw of the game is the bonus round which is really fun. You can buy the bonus for 120x which means to land the bonus naturally on Magic money Maze will probably be between 190-230 spins in the base game game.

Overall it is a fun game with another great bonus mechanic from Reel Kingdom, the base game and engine are all very good. The music and sound effects seem a little basic, the overlay is pretty easy to navigate although there is a lot of game info to be read through. I have a feeling @AlphaGamblerwill like this game and I am pretty sure we will se it played on stream from time to time.
