Abracadabra…

…The Showman slot is here!

A dash of magic and illusion is what everybody needs from time to time. When it comes to big winning potential as this game has, then the fun is at even a higher level.

The mischievous magician and his blonde assistant have a few special tricks in their sleeves that can help you get some nice wins. Bonus round, extra wilds and rewarding scatters are just some of them.

Quite a simple game design with quality animation…

…doesn't distract from the very exciting gameplay and thrilling special features.

Mutuel Play is the developer behind the slot, and it seems like more than a magical touch was invested in creating it. It is certainly a fun game, worth trying out.

Theme

Magic shows are a clear inspiration for this game. On the left side of the screen, you will notice a magician assistant in skimpy clothes standing in front of the knife-throwing wheel. This is also the imaging of the scatter symbol.

The main character appears on the left side of the grid...

...while it doubles as the wild symbol as well. It is animated a bit evil looking. It doesn’t send the vibe of the welcoming host, but rather resembles a con artist.

While the design of the magician is debatable…

…the overall graphics and animations are at a very high level.

That doesn’t change when you switch devices since the game’s mobile version is available for both iOS and Android users.

Betting Options

The minimum bet amount per line is 0.01 euros. Meaning the betting range is set from a minimum €0.15 to a maximum €105 for all lines. Changing the number of active lines isn’t an option.

Since it comes with medium variance...

...this release will be a great practice for all that are still finding their perfect slot tournament playing techniques but also can pique the interest of high rollers.

The RTP is set at 96.05%.

Regarding symbols...

...beside wild and scatter, the high paying ones include rabbit in the heat, guillotine, card dealer, handcuffs, and bouquet of roses with a magic wand. Letters A, K, Q and J, commonly seen in developer’s slots, represent the regular symbols, with lower payouts.

The Showman Features

Complimentary Round

When you spot 3 bonus spins symbols on the reels 1, 2 and 3, the main show begins. A click on each bonus icon will reveal the number of complimentary spins that you have won, and the multiplier. After you review them, initiate the feature.

The number of new spins that player can get ranges from 8 to 20…

…while the multiplier award from x2 to x5.

For every bonus symbol that appears during the feature, there are extra spins. The multiplier shown at the start of the round applies to all wins across all extra spins. Including the additional plus spins that are awarded during the feature.

Magical Reappearing Reels

On certain spins, the magician will replicate the symbols on reel 1 onto other reels. The number of reels it appears on is random and it can occur on any of the other reels.

Extra Wilds

On certain spins, additional wild symbols will appear on the reels…

…increasing the chance of wilds landing in view and thus creating more winning combinations.

Conclusion

While the magic is noticeable in the reels…

…the same can’t be said about its uniqueness.

It is a rather simple release, that can’t compete with some of the new slots with an abundance of special features.

On the other hand…

…while it isn’t the wonder of innovation, it provides a very fun playing experience. Especially when the bonus features are active.

All in all

The Showman slot is enjoyable to play, gives good payouts, and nice visuals. Of course, it will be best to try its demo version and judge for yourself if it is worth your time and suitable to your preferences.
