Jade Magician from Play'n GO: Slot Review - dare to take on this sorceress?

This game focuses a rather mysterious figure known only as the Jade Magician. From the wonderful intro video, you can tell that she is a master of magic and is quite fond of the colour green. The game has a distinctly Asian flavour and features symbols such as dragons, tigers and phoenixes.

The slot has 5 reels with 15 paylines and comes with some interesting features such as wild multipliers, second chance and free spins.

Special Features

The first feature that I noticed while playing this game was the Wild symbol. It is depicted by an X2 multiplier logo and it substitutes for all other symbols except the Scatter symbol. The Wild symbol multiplies your win by two when substituting symbols on the reels.

The most important symbol in this game is the Scatter symbol. It is depicted by the beautiful Jade Magician herself, appears only on reels 1, 3 and 5. It triggers a few features. The first one is Second Chance, to trigger this feature you need to land two Scatter symbols across the reels. In this mini-game, you will have to find a hidden Scatter symbol among 4 green balls in order to start the Free Spins feature. You can find cash prizes and a rather unlucky no win booby prize inside of these balls so make sure to choose very carefully!

If you manage to land 3 or more Scatter symbols across the reels then you will activate the Free Spins bonus game and you will receive 5 free spins. In this feature, the Scatter symbol acts as a Wild symbol and if you land 3 Scatter symbols then you will retrigger Free Spins again. Landing 1 or 2 Scatter symbols on the reels will award you with 1 or 2 extra free spins. It is quite possible to get up to a maximum of 50 free spins!

Theme, Graphics and Sound

The presentation of this game is very stylish and the Jade Magician herself is full of life and character. She can be seen in the background of the slot and she will blink at you as the reels spin. The symbols glow and move smoothly along the reels. The animations are fantastic when you land a winning combination as a gold frame covers each winning symbol.

The symbols represent power and magic and this is cleverly illustrated by the use of dragons, phoenixes, and a white tiger as symbols in this game.

The music is relaxing with soft techno sounds and Asian beats. It compliments the game superbly.

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

The game has 15 paylines, a high RTP of 96.53%, and a fine maximum payout worth 2,500X your stake.

Our Verdict on Jade Magician

Jade Magician is made by Play'n GO and it's a wonderful journey into a mystical world where a Jade Magician rules the land. A very easy slot to get into and I liked how the Scatter symbol has a few functions. The Second Chance feature is really fun to play and you can easily rack up lots of extra spins in the Free Spins game. I would recommend this game to players who enjoy magic and all things mystical.

Defeat the Jade Magician and a vast jackpot will be yours!
