Mysterious

Overview of Mysterious

Mysterious is the latest slot from Pragmatic Play and although eerie it produces great results. This spooky slot is sure to delight, and you don’t have to worry about being scared after all the developers certainly won’t want to scare their players away. The best way I can summarize this slot is that it is synonymous of a strange Victorian thriller complete with haunted houses, spectres, lightening, thunder and ghosts. Better still this slot is packed with features as well as two separate bonus rounds.

Play the Game

The first impression this slot provides are very positive. Be sure to opt for the landscape mode on your device to get the best visuals of the 4-reels, 4-rows and 256 pay lines in the standard game but you need to remember that this expands when the free spins are active. When it comes to placing your bet the minimum stands at 10p per spin up to a maximum of £100 per spin meaning Mysterious will appeal to all levels of players.

Creepy Visuals

The graphics in this slot are spot on and not for the fainthearted. The background depicts a quaint village sleeping whilst the mist swirls around and closes in. There is a house that stands on the hill beneath a stormy night sky. I couldn’t help but think of the famous Bram’s Stokers village where Dracula resided. This ambience is perfectly crafted and really does draw you in.

Pay table and Symbols

The symbols used in Mysterious are sharp and fit perfectly with the theme. The playing card suits make up the lowest paying symbols whilst the higher paying symbols are made up of a stylish set of animals. In ascending order of value, you will see the bull, a ram, an owl and a lion. The game logo is the most valuable and if you land six you will be rewarded with 25x your stake. There are also wilds and it is here where the characters come into play.

Mysterious is a highly volatile game which is not surprising from this developer, but we would still rate this as 5 out of 5. The return to player stands at 96.50% but be sure to check the pay table before you begin to play as the developers can lower the return to player rate whenever they wish. However, with such a fun base game and great features this is a slot I feel you won’t want to miss.

Fiery Features

There are three different wild modifiers for you to play with in the base game, and they all have the capability to change dependent on the game mode. You will be able to tell which game mode you are as there is the character highlighted on the side of your reels which depicts the wild that is active. Regardless of the mode the wilds can all substitute for any of the regular symbols to create winning combinations.

The Wilds

You can expect to come across three-character wilds which we can look at now. The first wild is the Lord. When the Lord is included in a winning combination you will be provided with a x2 or x3 multiplier. If you get lucky and land more than one Lord wild these multipliers, multiply with each other.
The second wild is the Lady and when she is part of a winning combination you will be awarded with the prize before the Lady expands to provide you with a stack of mystery symbols to help you create even more wins.
The final wild comes in the guise of the Baron and this is the wild that can change all of the nearby symbols into additional wilds.

The Free Spins

The real star of the show is the bonus game. The free spin symbol is the games scatter and when you land 3 or 4 you are rewarded with 8 – 12 free spins respectively. The free spins then go into the house on the hill where the game expands to provide 6-reels, 4-rows and 4,096 ways to win. However, before you can play you have to choose either the Locking multiplier free spins or the Resurrecting roaming wilds.

The locking multiplier free spins see a clock symbol in play and once you land one you receive a random multiplier of x3, x6, x9 or x12. This value is applied to the amount that you win in the spin. If you get lucky and land two clocks you are rewarded with an extra 2 spins with the multiplier applicable to both wins.
The resurrecting roaming wilds free spins provides wilds that disappear after each spin and float around your reels. If you land another wild in view the roaming wilds reappear for the spin in various positions.

Mysterious Conclusion

It is a real pleasure to play a slot that has been so well put together where no detail has been missed. Surprisingly I enjoyed playing the base game as much as the features. The bonus game was easy to activate and wins relatively easy to land.
Personally, I think this is an excellent slot that really shows the direction that this developer is heading towards. The horror is more like a dark fairy tale than something horrifying and one that you can truly enjoy.
