Abrakadabra (Peter & Sons) – Review & Demo Play

Abrakadabra - Slot Overview

From the first spin I clocked the trademark Peter & Sons vibe. Abrakadabra runs on a 5x3 grid with a transparent panel, a blue wizard on the left, and a Power Reel sitting above the main reels. It plays with 243 ways, so wins form on adjacent reels from the left. Cascades kick in after every hit, clearing winners and dropping new symbols. The art is quirky, the animations are lively, and the multiplier orb beside the wizard sets the tone for those step-ups.

Stakes range from 20p to £100 a spin, with high volatility and a default RTP of 96.07%. Power Bet is there if you want a nudge at the bonus, and there are two buy-in options for the feature. The core loop is simple but punchy: ways pays, cascades, and that Step Multiplier climbing in stages. It feels familiar, yet the Power Reel and wild lives add a different rhythm to the base and bonus play.

Symbols and Paytable in Abrakadabra

Low pays are J, Q, K, and A, paying about 0.25x to 0.35x for five of a kind. Premiums are a skeleton, a green jelly-like creature, a witch, and a reddish orange entity, worth roughly 0.55x up to 2.5x for five. The golden coin acts as the wild and substitutes for regular pays. Potion bottles are scatters. The paytable presents the values clearly and reflects your current stake, so it’s quick to gauge what a 243-way connection can return across cascades.

Core Gameplay in Abrakadabra

Wins don’t use fixed lines. You need matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the left. When a hit lands, the cascade removes the winners. Symbols from the Power Reel drop into the cleared spots first, then more symbols tumble in to fill remaining gaps. Two symbol types can appear up top: wilds with lives and powerup tiles. Wilds enter the main grid when space opens beneath them, and they can stick around thanks to their lives mechanic.

Wild Lives arrive with one to three lives. A life is used on each cascade or spin, and the wild stays until its lives run out. The Step Multiplier climbs in a growing sequence, shown as x1, x2, x4, x7, x11, x16, and so on. In the base game it resets when a cascade sequence ends. In free spins it does not reset, which is where the maths can snowball if the reels keep paying and the Power Reel keeps feeding helpful drops.

Bonus Features in Abrakadabra

Three scatters trigger seven free spins, and every extra scatter adds two more. During free spins, the Step Multiplier carries over between spins. The Power Reel can drop a Multiplier Powerup that lifts the multiplier by one step in this mode. There’s also a wild placement trigger that can happen on a dead spin or at the end of a cascade if at least two wilds sit on the Power Reel. Those wilds then land on random reel positions.

Super Free Spins use a collection path. If only one or two scatters land in the base game, they’re banked. Hit a total of 450 and you get ten Super Free Spins. The core rules match the regular bonus, except the Multiplier Powerup can add between one and three steps at a time. With the Step Multiplier never resetting here either, an early series of cascades can set up hefty totals if the run keeps going.

Power Bet increases your stake by 20% and doubles your chance to trigger free spins. For direct entry, there are two buy options: pay 90x your bet for seven free spins, or 120x for a random batch between seven and eleven. Wild Lives are active across all stages, so sticky wild behaviour via lives remains a key driver in the features. The mix of cascades, Power Reel drops, and step-ups keeps the rounds busy when the grid cooperates.

RTP, Volatility & Max Win in Abrakadabra

Abrakadabra runs at 96.07% RTP by default with high volatility. Stakes go from 20p to £100 per spin, and the game sticks to 243 ways on a 5x3 setup. The top payout caps at 10,000x your bet, which aligns with the feature stack and the snowballing Step Multiplier. Some sites may offer different RTP settings, so I always check the info panel before I start. Power Bet adds 20% to the stake, which is reflected in your displayed bet size.

Abrakadabra - Slot Verdict

I like how the Step Multiplier ramps in stages. It hits harder than a simple +1 ladder when a cascade chain runs. Wild Lives are the glue, keeping lines alive across tumbles, and the Power Reel gives steady momentum. Regular free spins are solid; Super Free Spins add long-term chase and a better multiplier nudge. It’s not reinventing the wheel, but the package lands. With 10,000x on the table, I’m happy to spin it when I fancy a volatile ride.
