Phantasmic Fortunes Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

When a magician in Victorian era garb invites you to play a five-reel, three-row 243-ways slot, don't assume that everything is as it seems. With an expanding reels feature at the heart of its design, Phantasmic Fortunes provides multiple ways to win bonus features and up to 7,776 ways to win. It's also the first in a series of iSoftbet slots that features their new Xpanding Ways mechanic.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Dark and mysterious, Phantasmic Fortunes draws you in with a combination of atmospheric music and rich graphics. The reels stand against a backdrop of skulls and candles. The magician watching over the reels is an enigma. The aces adorning his top hat suggest he's an illusionist, but the green flames playing in his hand imply he may be something more otherworldly.

The reels themselves are encased in ornate gold frames, as are many of the symbols on them. These include jewels in the shape and colour of the playing card suit symbols, a bottle of potion, an ornate pocket watch, a fan of playing cards, a raven and a top hat. Diamonds, two types of Wild symbols and a Magician Scatter symbol complete the set.

Bonus Features

Phantasmic Fortunes has multiple bonus features, including the Xpanding Ways Orb Prizes, Phantasmic Free Spins, Magic Free Spins and a Magic Boost feature.

Xpanding Ways

Available in both the base game and free spins mode, the Xpanding Ways feature starts with all five reels at a height of three rows. Each time a magic diamond symbol lands on a reel, it grows up to a maximum height of six rows, increasing the number of ways to win. Above the reels hangs a row of Orbs containing prizes. When a reel reaches its orb, it triggers the Orb's prize before the reels return to their original height. Orb Prizes include Phantasmic Wilds, Magic Wilds, Multipliers ranging between 5x and 200x, and the Bonus Orb prize.

Phantasmic Free Spins

The Phantasmic Free Spins bonus can be triggered in one of two ways - you can either land three or more Magician Scatter symbols on the middle three reels or fully expand a reel that sits beneath an Orb containing the Phantasmic Free Spins Bonus. Phantasmic Free Spins has no limit. The reels keep spinning until one of the reels expands to the Orb that that has "Collect" added to its prize. If you triggered the bonus via the Orb, you'll get additional Phantasmic Wilds added to the reels,, too.

Magic Wild Free Spins

Reaching an Orb containing Magic Wilds means you'll see Magic Wilds being added to the reels. Like the Phantasmic Free Spins, the bonus game will keep going until one of the reels reaches a "Collect" Orb.

Magic Boost

Following a bonus feature, you may be lucky enough to benefit from the random Magic Boost, which increases the size of some of the reels to help you on your way towardsyour next potential win.

Our Verdict

The look and feel of Phantasmic Fortunes is superb. You won't find many slots with better sound and graphics than this one. The unusual game design can generate suspenseful situations where you have reels competing for the Orbs, so if you're a fan of complex game design and multiple bonuses, there's a lot to like here. Phantasmic Fortunes is an exciting game, but the high volatility factor means that you can lose a lot from your balance between some of the bigger Orb wins.

If you enjoy the theme of magic and illusion but prefer the more traditional 5x3 layout and a medium volatility, why not try Pragmatic Play's Vegas Magic slot, which has its own magic twist with a tumbling reels feature.
