Chief’s Magic is another one of Microgaming’s Native American Indian themed three reel classic slots. Like most classic slots, the graphical quality of this release isn’t the highest standard in the online gambling industry, but it presents enough graphical quality to be satisfactory for most players. This is a very standard classic online slot, with no special features, a fair jackpot and reasonable stakes all around.
This slot machine game is played over 3 reels as is the standard of a game in this genre; it also contains only a single payline – in keeping with traditional for classic slots. Coin denominations range from $0.25 up to $5, with a total of three coins per spin able to be staked. This gives Chief’s Magic, minimum and maximum wagers of $0.25 and $15 per spin, respectively.
The icons used in this slot don’t do a lot for the theme of this game, with the classic slot standard of single bars, double bars and triple bars all present, red sevens, the game’s logo and the Indian chief himself are also key icons in this slot game. Naturally, the objective here is to collect three identical icons on the single payline that the game offers.
There are no bonus features in this slot machine game. The player does have the option of altering their bet, and of course, choosing to bet the maximum stake via the Bet Max button, but aside from that, there are no other features or options included in this title.
The amount you can win on the symbols depends on how many coins you wager. Any 3 bars will pay out 2, 4 or 6 coins according to whether the player has wagered 1, 2 or 3 coins. The rules for coin wagering also apply to the 3, 6 or 9 coins a player could win for collecting 3 single bars, the 5, 10 or 15 coins a player can win from 3 double bars, or 3 treble bars, which pay out 10, 20 or 30 coins. Larger payouts include 25, 50 or 75 coins for 3 red sevens, and 50, 100 or 150 coins for 3 of the game’s logo symbols.
The chief Indian himself is the symbol that rewards the largest payouts, or the jackpot of you will, in this slot game. If the player has staked only a single coin, they can win 150 coins for 3 of these symbols. A 2 coin wager will see the player win 300 coins, whilst if they have the maximum wager staked, a player could win a total of 600 coins for 3 of these jackpot winning icons on the payline.
A jackpot that is worth $9,000 in real money, all for the cost of a $15 stake, is actually a really good deal. However, aside from that, there isn’t really a lot for this Microgaming classic slot to boast about. The graphics are so-so, the theme is virtually not represented at all on the reel symbols, and the payouts themselves aren’t worth that much. That being said, as far as simplistic classic slots go, this one will suffice just fine for most amateur players.
The fairest way to sum up the game, would be to say that for first time gamers, Chief’s Magic provides an ideal training ground to win a couple of notes, and to hone your skills in the online slots genre. However, for more experienced gamers, the chances are that they won’t really find anything to peak their interest here.
