Introduction to Mix N Magic Power Combo
Mix N Magic Power Combo is a casino slot from High Limit Studios with a magical theme. Magicians have been captivating audiences for centuries with their tricks, sleight of hand, and a bit of misdirection to make the impossible look real. From pulling rabbits out of hats to making things vanish, it's all about keeping the audience guessing. A casino slot has its own brand of magic with special symbols, coin prizes and features that can completely change the game at any time. In this case, the magic of the magician is all about the Power Combo in the Link&Win round. The question is whether all these different tricks can actually come together and produce something special.
Theme, Gameplay & Payouts
Mix N Magic Power Combo is a video slot from High Limit Studios with 5 reels, 3 rows, and 25 paylines. The Min.bet is 0.25, and the Max.bet is 40. The game has an RTP of 96.01%, medium volatility, and a max win of 5,163x the bet. The hit frequency of 24.67% means that about every fourth spin is a win, on average.
The game is dark, set inside an old stone building like a castle or church. The floor is made of big, round stones and the black reels have a brown stone frame. To the sides are purple windows that let in some light from the outside. Above each of the five reels is a potion bottle, connected to the bonus game, and to the left of the reels are three kettles. You can unlock them one by one by spinning the reels. Wins are made by landing 3 or more matching symbols on one of the paylines going left to right, and all wins must start on the leftmost reel. Mix N Magic Power Combo is playable on mobile phones, tablets and desktops.
The lower-paying symbols in Mix N Magic Power Combo are diamonds, clubs, hearts, and spades, which award 1x the bet for a 5-of-a-kind win. The higher-paying symbols are hourglasses, skulls, crystal balls, owls, and cats, paying between 2x and 10x the bet for five matching symbols. The Wild Symbol substitutes for all regular symbols but not the Power Booster, Bonus, and Link&Win symbols.
Special Features & Slot Mechanics
What is the max win in the slot Mix N Magic Power Combo?
You can win up to 5,163x the bet.
What features are available in the slot Mix N Magic Power Combo?
The features are Wild Symbol, Trigger Symbols, Link&Win, Power Boost, Links Boost, Bonus Boost, and Random Bonus Prize.
Wild Symbol
The Wild Symbol appears on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 in the base game and will substitute for all other regular symbols.
Trigger Symbols
There are 5 different Trigger Symbols: Multiply, Repayit, Fusion, Boost and Double. They can appear in the base game and in features (with the one exception of their respective feature rounds). You may trigger the Link&Win bonus game whenever a Trigger Symbol appears, and the type of symbol determines which modifiers are active. You can have more than one feature going at the same time, which is where the Power Combo comes in.
Link&Win
When Link&Win is triggered, the Trigger Symbols that triggered the feature become Coin Symbols with random cash values. The coins can land on any of the reels, and each one pays 0.2x, 0.6x, 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x the bet or one of the Mini, Maxi or Major prizes. The coins are in place whilst the other positions respin, and you start with three respins.
Whenever another coin lands, it is held, and the respin counter is reset to 3. Trigger Symbols that land during the feature can activate further modifiers, and all Trigger Symbols will turn into coins of random cash value. The feature ends when there are no respins left on any unlocked reel set, or when all unlocked reels are full of 15 Link&Win symbols.
A reel set filled with 15 coins does not trigger the Mega prize,, so don't expect a full screen to automatically give you the big jackpot. When multiple modifiers are in play, they resolve in this order: Multiply, Repayit, Boost and Fusion. The coin collection animation is purely cosmetic and has no impact on what features or prizes you get.
Multiply Feature
The Multiply feature adds a multiplier to the Link&Win action. A 1x multiplier appears on every empty position in each active grid. When additional Coin Symbols land on those positions in subsequent spins, the multiplier is applied to their cash values. The multipliers on the remaining empty positions then increase (each increase being 1x, 2x or 3x), and as more coins land in the right positions, the multipliers can grow quite significantly and make a real difference to the final prize.
Repayit Feature
The Repayit feature introduces a special Repayit Coin. When it lands, it collects the cash value of all the other coins in its reel set. It then converts to a standard Coin symbol with a random cash value.
Fusion Feature
The Fusion feature fuses coins in the same column. If a column in an active reel set contains three Coin symbols, they will fuse into a single coin of value equal to the total of the three. The other two positions in that column are cleared.
Boost Feature
The Boost feature gives each active reel set a chance on every spin to boost the value of the coins on a randomly selected row. The boost can be 0.2x, 0.6x, 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x the bet or one of the Mini or Maxi prizes.
Double Feature
The Double Feature activates a further grid (all positions initially empty). Each grid spins independently, which gives you more opportunities for coins to fall and adds another dimension to the way the feature works.
Power Combo Boost
The Power Combo Boost system is all about the Power, Links and Bonus pots. Once the Power Pot is unlocked, Power Booster symbols can randomly appear during the base game. Each Power Booster will light up between 1 and 5 letters on one of the unlocked pots. When all the letters of the word in a pot have been lit, the corresponding Power Combo Boost is activated, and a Link&Win round is triggered.
Power Boost
When you have played enough spins to open the Power Pot, you activate the Power Boost. It can randomly appear in the base game, lighting up one of the five letters on one of the unlocked pots. When all letters light up, you’ll trigger the Link&Win feature.
Links Boost
Completing the Links Pot triggers the Links Boost. As with the Power Boost, it ensures that two or more features will be active during the ensuing Link&Win round. The two boosts therefore, have the same fundamental benefit, just that they are activated by completing different pots.
Bonus Boost
Completing the Bonus Pot triggers the Bonus Boost. In this instance, each Link&Win feature is randomly assigned a bonus prize (Mega, Major, Maxi or Mini). One or more of the features will be activated and will award their respective bonus prize.
Random Bonus Prize
The Bonus Symbol can randomly appear on another symbol on reel 5 in the bonus game. If it does appear, it awards one of four prizes: Mega (5,000x), Major (100x), Maxi (20x), or Mini (10x).
Final Thoughts on Mix N Magic Power Combo
Mix N Magic Power Combo makes sure you always have something to keep an eye on. There are the five Trigger Symbols, the three Power Pots, and the Link&Win, which can trigger multiple modifiers at the same time. It does take a bit of time to get to grips with the rules, particularly if you're trying to keep the various rules of Repayit, Fusion and Boost all in your head whilst the coins are dropping onto the reels. Once you've got the mechanics of it down, it's actually quite easy to play.
The best thing about it is the way the modifiers can all work in conjunction. You've got growing multipliers, coin collection, merged prizes, and a second reel set, all providing different ways for the Link&Win round to develop. The Power Pots also add something to aim for in the base game, rather than just having all the fun happen by chance when the bonus round kicks in. The magician theme doesn't really make it feel any different from any other feature-packed slot, and with so many mechanics, it can seem like a lot of work for a game that's built on fairly standard foundations.
High Limit has used the Link&Win concept in a number of their slots in the past, such as in Beef Up the Bonus, and Mix N Magic Power Combo is another instance of the same old bag of tricks. It's not a straight copy of any one particular game, but it does have the feel of combining a number of existing features.
Mix N Magic Power Combo from High Limit Studios offers a decent range of features and enough variety to keep the Link & Win rounds interesting.
