Magic Mirror (Merkur Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Magic Mirror - Our Slot Review

I’ve put plenty of spins into Magic Mirror from Merkur. It runs a 5 x 3 layout with 10 paylines and landed in 2012. High volatility pairs with RTP 95.94%. Stakes range from 0.10 to 200, so it fits cautious sessions and heavier punts. The fairytale theme is simple, yet the mirror drives the gameplay. Base spins can feel sparse, then the feature swings the day. On mobile it behaves well and the interface stays clear and quick.

Three or more mirrors trigger 10 free spins with a special symbol that expands across the whole reel. Another set of three mirrors gives 10 extra spins and adds a second special symbol. With a few retriggers I’ve seen screens fill fast and payouts jump. The variance is sharp, so I shade my stake and wait for the round. I treat the feature as the main route to profit and the line hits as balance cover between bonuses.

Magic Mirror Symbols and Paytable

Magic Mirror’s paytable leans on clear tiers. The top premium pays x500 for five, x100 for four, x10 for three, and x1 for two. The mirror acts as scatter in the bonus and pays up to x200 for five, x20 for four, x2 for three. Other premiums top at x200 and x75, both offering wins from two of a kind. Lower sets sit at x15 for five, then the card-like icons land x10 for five with x2.5 for four and x0.5 for three.

Compare Magic Mirror With Other Slots

Compared with other 5 x 3, 10-line Merkur titles, Magic Mirror sits on the punchier side. The free spins use the book-style expanding symbol model, yet each retrigger adds another special symbol, which is the hook. That snowballs fast if it lands. The base game is tighter than many line slots, but the bonus can fly when several symbols expand together. If you enjoy patient play that can flip in one round, this slot fits that pattern well.

I manage the risk by keeping to mid stakes and breaking sessions into blocks. The hit rate outside the bonus sits modestly, so I chase mirrors rather than base line grinding. If you want steadier returns, a softer 10-line alternative may suit. If you aim at higher peaks, Magic Mirror remains a solid pick thanks to its expanding symbol free spins, retrigger potential, and high volatility paired with RTP 95.94%.
