Play Magic Oak demo
Grouped Pays on a 4x4 forest floor
Among outsider game suppliers at the present, Habanero is certainly one of the most interesting. Magic Oak was released on April 30, 2019.
The appetite for high volatility is at an all time peak.
Magic Oak is a 4x4 slot with Grouped Pays. Symbols pay when they sit next to each other in any direction, and a win needs a touching group of at least 4 of the same symbol. It is available from 0.20 to 5000. I played my session at 2.00 per spin with a starting balance of 2,000.00.
Owls, boars and a 1,250x Wild
Magic Oak comes with 4 low-value symbols. A full group of 16 of any one of them pays 60 times the stake. They are designed to appear like Club, Diamond, Heart and Spade symbols, and the premium symbols are depicted by an owl, a squirrel, a boar, a raccoon, a rabbit and a fox. For a group of 16, the Owl pays 250 times the stake, the Squirrel 200 times, the Boar 150 times and the Raccoon 125 times, with the Rabbit and the Fox at 75 times each. The Wild is the highest paying symbol. If you hit a cluster of 16, it grants 1,250 times your stake. That top figure needs a Wild on every one of the 16 positions on the grid.
The Wisp Feature is activated at random, and up to 6 wisps emerge. These in turn comprise:
- Yellow wisps, each converting a single symbol Wild: up to 4.
- Blue wisps, each converting every symbol of one kind Wild: up to 2.
Final Minty Score: Over 300 spins at 2.00, I wagered 600.00 and won back 279.00, a session return of 46.5%.
Three Scatters, one short
The free games are activated if 4 or more Scatter symbols land anywhere. The frame shown here has 3 Scatters on the grid, one short of the 4 the free games need, and a win of 8.00 at a 2.00 stake.
Each Scatter reveals 2, 3 or 4 free games. A trigger therefore deals anywhere from 8 to 16 free games.
A 53x hit that did not save it
I certainly liked playing Magic Oak. It's a high volatility slot. Only 44 of my 300 spins paid anything, 17 of them less than the stake, and the longest run without a win lasted 24 spins.
I didn't succeed to remain in profit during my 300 spin session, even after getting a 53x win on spin 77, and sadly I never activated the free games. That spin paid 106.00 and lifted the balance to its peak of 2,011.60, but the session finished at 1,679.00.
Magic Oak has a 96.77% RTP.
