Magic Target Deluxe

With Magic Target Deluxe, Wazdan takes a man of the classic elements of slot gaming and transports them to a carnival game. The old-school gaming symbols of fruits, bells, sevens and the like contend with a cannon, which doubles wins, bomb scatter symbols to blow up the reels, and a wild joker symbol presiding over it all. This is one wild carnival ride!

Theme

The reels are situated in a carnival tent, filled with bright lights and drawn red velvet curtains. Background music invokes a playful circus, while a cannon at the top of the reels fires off a celebratory round with every win. Gaming symbols include crowns, bells, grapes, sevens, pear, plum, strawberry, and watermelons, as well as the wild joker symbol, the bomb scatter symbol, and the cannon multiplier symbol.

Betting Options and Functions

Carnival games are not always well-regarded for their approach to the rules, but Warden’s design team breaks from their thematic inspiration on this point by providing clear gaming information. There are 20 fixed pay lines in this coin-based slot, with a fixed bet of one coin per line. Coin value can be set from 0.01–1.00, but the total bet in coins can be set as high as the player’s current bankroll for any given spin, so long as it’s set to a multiple of 20. This yields an overall betting minimum of 0.20 times the betting currency, with no maximum. Autoplay is available for up to 10000 spins at a time, with many optional limits available to players who wish to stop the reels for overall bankroll swings, bonus feature triggers, and the like. Information regarding the total theoretical return to player ratio is not available, usually an indicator of worse than usual gaming odds.

Features

When autoplay is disengaged, players will have the opportunity to play double-or-nothing on every win, via this game’s gamble feature. The cannon appears at the center of the game screen, with a stack of boxes on each side. Players choose which side to fire upon. The cannon roars and the smashed box will either reveal a thumbs up, doubling the win or a thumbs down, wiping it out. Players can play this feature as many times as they like, or exit with their winnings at any time.

The bomb scatter symbol is the key to free spins, Magic Target Deluxe’s most lucrative feature. Ten free spins are awarded, during which time the cannon multiplier symbol will appear on the reels: its presence doubles any win. The feature cannot be retriggered.

Our Take

Wazdan delivers an enjoyable and unique game feel in Magic Target Deluxe, successfully invoking plenty of classic slot gaming elements. However, without any truly unique elements of gameplay, and, moreover, without RTP information, this title doesn’t do much to distinguish itself from the competition.
