Mystic Chief - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction 

Mystic Chief, a Pragmatic Play slots game, has a beautiful Native American theme. It is played on five reels, with reels one and five having three rows and reels two, three and four having four rows. 

There are 576 fixed paylines in this free slot and several bonus features for players to enjoy. These include expanding wilds, free spins, and a super free spins feature that this Mystic Chief slot review will explain later.

There are ten regular symbols on the reels in this online slot: the Native American woman, an eagle, a horse, a wolf, a mountain lion, drums, a knife, a tomahawk, a pipe, and a totem. There are also three special symbols: the wild, the scatter, and the bonus.

The wild symbol depicts the Mystic Chief himself. It appears on reels two, three and four, where it substitutes for all other symbols except the bonus and scatter. The scatter, which is the gold coin symbol, provides access to the free spins, while the bonus symbol is the dreamcatcher.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack 

This Mystic Chief online slot has an attractive Native American theme. Set against a beautifully animated backdrop showing a village with tipis, mountains, drifting smoke and floating embers, the symbols on the reels show us the Mystic Chief himself and a beautiful lady alongside iconic artefacts such as the tomahawk, peace pipe, and totem pole. 

The ambient sounds playing in the background when the game is idle really set the scene. When the game is playing, the soundtrack is dramatic and adventurous.

Mystic Chief RTP and variance 

The RTP of Mystic Chief is 96.55 per cent, which is a good figure compared with many other free slots. Pragmatic Play states that this is a high variance slot, so you are likely to see higher but fewer payouts.

Mystic Chief bonus features 

We said this Mystic Chief slot review would explain the bonus features, so here goes:

Expanding wilds

This online slot has expanding wilds. Whenever a wild completes a winning combination, it expands and fills the entire reel in addition to having a random multiplier value up to 10x attached. Multiple occurrences see the multipliers added together.

Free spins

The free spins are accessed by landing three scatter coins on reels two, three and four, which awards eight free spins. Players are guaranteed to get an expanding wild symbol on reels two, three or four on each free spin, and they come with a random multiplier. If a bonus symbol lands, one more free spin is awarded; if two land, they turn sticky, award two spins, and trigger the super free spins at the end. 

Super free spins

This extra feature sees a random number of symbols on reels two, three and four turn into non-sticky wilds for each additional spin.

Overall Mystic Chief review: our verdict

Mystic Chief is a fun-to-play online slot that we like a lot. The theme is very well implemented and we particularly like the ambient sound effects, which make us feel as though we are really there. The game has a good number of bonus features and the rules are easy enough to understand.

However, we found this free slot to be extremely volatile and don’t think it will suit everyone. The free spins also took a frustrating amount of time to trigger. Players who like high variance slots might like to try the Sweet Bonanza slot, which is also from Pragmatic Play.
