Mystic Dreams
The wombat says: Mystic Dreams slot is a Microgaming release (the people behind the Lucky Witch slot). This one is themed around Native Americans and their mythology – and this wombat thinks that it looks the business. Native Americans have many rituals, they often spoke with totem animals in their dreams and asked them for help, and these creatures play an important part in this slot.
The backdrop to the reels all snowy mountain scenes high up in the Rockies with a load of tepees lit up, while a gentle acoustic soundtrack transports you to a star-filled night sky. ‘Now that’s all very nice Mr Wombat,’ I hear you say, ‘But what about the gameplay?’ Well, let’s take a look…
Game Play
Mystic Dreams slot has 5 reels, 3 rows and is a Microgaming ‘243 ways to win’ game -head to the Magic Portals slot of you prefer a game with pay-lines. Basically, what 243 ways-to-win means Wombat Fans, is you no longer need to worry about pay lines! Simply line up the matching symbols anywhere on the reels from left to right and you’ll win some moolah. It is as simple as that. If you like this format you must try the Redroo slot, by the way, as that has 1024 ways to win!
The low value symbols on your reels are made up of the standard playing cards 9, 10, J, Q, K & A, and are joined by the more valuable icons that include; a majestic Golden Eagle, a handsome and regal wolf, a furry-looking buffalo, and the proud tribal Chieftain with his trademark headdress.
The fiery Tepee symbol acts as the Wild in the slot and will substitute for all other symbols including the Scatter (Whoo-hoo! This almost never happens!) to help you scoop more winning combos. Meanwhile the game’s Scatter is the totem pole symbol and you’ll need to land 3x or more of these symbols (beginning with a totem landing on the very first reel) to set off the Bonus Round. And when you do, it’s time to get dizzy!
Mystic Dreams Free Spins & Totem Scatters
Depending on how many Scatters you landed to begin with, you’ll be given either 10x, 15x or 20x Free Spins. We recommend you keep your eyes peeled for the Tepee Wild symbols landing on the second, third and fourth reels too, because if they do, you’ll be dished out a rather generous 2x, 3x or 4x multiplier on your wins respectively!
The Free Spins bonus can also be re-triggered which is a nice touch, and if all 3 of the Teepee Wild symbols land and then contribute as a part of a winning combination these wins will be multiplied by an absolutely whopping x24! Well bless my barnacles!
Conclusion
On the surface, Mystic Dreams slot looks a lot like your standard Microgaming fare, but with some decent animated graphics and a few exciting features we actually think it is a bit of a belter. This wombat likes that there are 2 different ways to trigger off the Free Spins bonus round in this game (using the Teepee Wilds) – because trying to land 3x of the Totem Scatters is one hard ruddy task. And as always, we are HUGE fans of lucrative ‘243 Ways to Win’ slots. So, overall a very good little game.
