Andvari: The Magic Ring (Foxium) – Review & Demo Play

The Andvari: The Magic Ring Slot Game

Foxium’s Andvari: The Magic Ring lands with a calm waterfall backdrop, a wooden transparent grid, and a chilled score of water and birds. The interface shows a revolving wheel, magic prizes, and tidy controls. It launched on 27 July 2023. The Norse tale carries weight: Andvari’s golden ring draws wealth and carries a dark curse. The art runs playful in places, yet the reel action keeps things clear and readable, which helps on long sessions.

You get a 5x4 layout with 1,024 payways paying from the leftmost reel. Bets run from €0.20 to €20. Bonus coins fill a visible progress bar above the reels, saved per stake, and that feeds the Magic Wheel. The base game sets up the real punch: LockNWin, a free spins wheel, and fixed Magic Prizes. The theme is unusual in slots, and I found the world easy to settle into before focusing on collection and feature timing.

Symbols and Payouts in Andvari: The Magic Ring

There are 8 regular symbols and 3 feature-triggering icons. Low wins are J, Q, K, and A, paying up to 1x, 1.25x, 1.5x, and 1.75x the total bet for 5 of a kind. High pays are the Scroll, Horned Log, Potion Bottle, and the Magic Ring, worth up to 3x, 4x, 5x, and 10x for 5 of a kind. Paytable values reflect total stake, so reads are quick. Studying that sheet sets the tone for what a line-up is worth.

The golden-engraved W is the wild, substituting for regular pays to help complete or improve wins. Andvari is the scatter, while the Gold Coin is the bonus symbol that fuels both LockNWin and the Magic Wheel progression. The symbol mix sticks to the theme well, which makes the reels feel consistent. I prefer that setup: no noise, quick recognition, clean counting.

Andvari: The Magic Ring Slot Bonus Features

Features include Wilds, a LockNWin round, a Magic Wheel, free spins with a gamble option, and Bonus Buy where eligible. The Magic Wheel can drop cash, a Magic Prize, or free spins. If you can buy, the free spins cost 55.02x, while a Magic Wheel spin is 33.24x. In practice, the wheel and LockNWin carry most of the weight, with the base game acting as a collector and teaser for those spikes.

LockNWin Bonus in Andvari: The Magic Ring

Hit 6+ bonus coins together to trigger LockNWin. The grid clears except for the triggering coins, which lock in place. You start with 3 respins. Any new bonus symbol that lands sticks and resets the counter to 3. Standard bonus icons carry 1x to 25x the stake. The rhythm is simple: hold, top up the board, and push to keep the round alive. In my sessions, this tended to appear more in free spins than the base.

Magic Prize symbols can land during the feature. These are fixed jackpots: Mini 50x, Minor 100x, Major 250x, Grand 1,000x, and Epic 5,000x your stake. Filling several cells with a mix of cash and Magic Prizes is where the feature steps up. The board state stays readable, and the tally adds up cleanly at the end.

Two power-ups can land. The Multiplier Upgrade raises all cash prizes on the board by up to 10x their initial value. The Magic Prize Upgrade moves any present jackpot to the next tier. Those upgrades are the difference-makers when space is tight and values need lifting. When they land late in the round, they can turn an average grid into a handy payout.

Andvari: The Magic Ring Bonus Wheel

Every bonus coin in the base game fills the progress bar, saved per stake. When full, you get a Magic Wheel spin that can award instant cash (10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 30x, or 40x), a Magic Prize, or free spins. Free spins also trigger from 3 scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5, leading to a wheel with 10, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 spins. You can gamble for more; lose the gamble and you receive 10x to 100x instead. Three scatters during the bonus retrigger.

Andvari: The Magic Ring Slot RTP & Volatility

The stated RTP is 96.05% with high variance and a 27.57% hit frequency. Some venues run adjustable RTP ranges, so always check the info panel. The game’s payout shape leans on feature spikes, with the Grand at 5,000x and an overall max win quoted up to 13,500x your stake. I found base play steady but not lively; the real edge comes from progress, wheel timing, and LockNWin grids that pick up power-ups.

The Final Thoughts on Andvari: The Magic Ring

The backstory stands out, and it’s neat seeing Andvari get centre stage. On the reels, the set-up feels familiar across partner studios, yet LockNWin’s two upgrades give it a lift. The Magic Wheel progress bar adds a target to chase without overcomplicating things. In testing, the free spins wheel often led to a LockNWin hit, which kept the feature loop ticking along.

The wild helps, but it’s the jackpots and multipliers that do the heavy lifting. The Epic 5,000x is a proper carrot, and the max win figure is headline-friendly. If eligible, the Bonus Buy options at 33.24x and 55.02x are fair entries. For me, Andvari: The Magic Ring is memorable for its unusual Norse angle and the LockNWin upgrades, while the rest is solid, standard fare.
