Mystic Dreams is a Native American themed slot machine, not a very original choice, but one that Microgaming approached correctly for the most part, while also using a modern ways to win system instead of paylines. The Native American theme brings you the life of these people as it was a few hundred years ago, with a tee pee village visible in the middle of a snow covered field, with a big fire in the middle. There are images of the Native Americans, but there are also a lot of pictures with birds and animals, and unfortunately some playing cards as well.
Using the modern ways to win system, with 243 paylines, Mystic Dreams has 5 reels, a wild symbol, a scatter and the feature with free spins and huge multipliers. Top payouts of up to $2,500 are offered for the base game, but the free spins can improve it significantly.
Features of Mystic Dreams
Among the features of Mystic Dreams you will find a Tee Pee with the role of a wild, an Eagle Totem used as a scatter, plus some free spins and multipliers of 4x or less. The ways to win are also important to the way the game plays, bringing you lots of smaller wins since there are so many more chances to create a combo.
The classic Native American tent, the tee pee, is the image selected to be used for the wild feature. The biggest thing about this wild is not that it brings you prizes, it doesn’t, but that it offers multipliers and that they can pool together their resources if they’re on the same line and during the free spins. The base game wilds are basic, but they become pretty great once the free spins get started.
The Eagle Totem is the scatter symbol in this case, a symbol capable of awarding free spins and triggering cash prizes that reach a value of 50x the total bet value. You need up to five randomly placed symbols in order to get that kind of prize, plus you also get the free spins. In both cases, you need 3+ scattered symbols.
Free Games Feature
The number of scattered Totems decides how many free spins you get from this slot. You win 10, 15 or 20 spins for free, when you have 3, 4 or 5 Totems, respectively.
For the duration of these free spins, the wilds from the middle three reels have multipliers of 2x for the 2nd reel, 3x for the 3rd and 4x for the 4th. Whenever multiple wilds are on the same line, they pool together their multipliers, so if all three wilds are part of a combo you can get up to 24x the usual prize with their help. That’s an impressive multiplier to get from the wild symbols.
Betting options and jackpots
You use 30 to 150 coins in this game, always covering the 243 ways to win. 1 to 5 coins are selected for each line, while denominations range from $0.01 to $0.20. The maximum bet is worth $30, using $1 line bets.
You can take home only up to $2,500 while in the base game, but during free spins the wilds can add multipliers of up to 24x to a prize, so in theory you could walk away with $60,000.
Design and symbols
If you’ve played slots with a similar theme in the past, you probably see the resemblance that they have with this one. It’s a pretty normal slot when it comes to the graphics, which isn’t something to be excited about. There are standard playing cards as well, taking over a big part of the screen, so that’s another downside. Overall, it’s a decent looking game, but nothing to write home about.
Symbols: Tee Pee (wild), Eagle Totem (scatter, 50x bet), Chief (2,500x), Buffalo (2,000x), Wolf (1,000x), Eagle (1,000x), Ace (200x), King (200x), Queen (100x), Jack (100x), 10 (100x) and Nine (100x).
Is It Worth Playing?
I’m a big fan of the multipliers available from the wilds while the free spins are running. I just wish this was something offered in the base game as well, as it’s not quite impressive enough without them.
This Mystic Dreams slot is offered by all online casinos with Microgaming software, playable either in practice or in real money mode.
