Net Entertainment is really skilled at coming up with their own themes, concepts and characters for online slots and then putting them together with payout schedules and bonus features that make a lot of sense. The end result is a game that feels cohesive from the time you start playing until the time you stop your session. Fantasini: Mastery of Mystery is a great example of a game that falls into this category, and it features a stage magician and his assistant in an environment of magical props and reels that magically pair up to give you more opportunities to win.
Basic Format
The format for this game is pretty basic: five reels, three rows and 243 ways to win. Net Entertainment has a bit of a history of using typical formats in games and not really deviating from those most basic game layouts less it's completely called for by the theme or features. In this case, the 243-ways format really works well with the main feature in this game, which we'll cover below. You'll bet in increments of 25 coins, which start at $0.01 apiece, and you can bet as many as 250 coins at $0.50 apiece for a total maximum bet size of $125 per spin.
Winning Combinations
The winning combinations in this game start with Fantasini's assistant. She'll give you 50x for three, 250x for four and 1,000x for five. His locked drunk of magical props is also a top symbol, and you can earn 30x for three of a kind, 150x for four of a kind or 500x for five of this symbol. The hand holding the glowing crystal ball pays 15x for three, 100x for four or 400x for five. When you add in the fact that you can pick up 250x for five of the shackles or the sword through the playing cards, that covers all of the biggest winning combinations in the game.
With that having been said, the minor symbols add a bit of value to the game as well, and more than you'd probably expect, because of the 243-ways format and how the main feature (listed below) works. Top wins for the minor symbols are 40x for five of the red A, yellow K or green Q. You can also earn 25x for five of the blue J, light purple 10 or dark purple 25.
Wilds and Linked Reels
There are two key features in this game that combine to give players a lot of value and frequent hits. The first is the wild Fantasini symbol. It makes sense that this magician would be the wild in this game, but he doesn't get his own payouts. Regardless, you'll still pick up lots of combinations that you wouldn't have hit otherwise thanks to this symbol, so it's pretty valuable.
The second feature, and the most important feature in the entire game, is the set of Linked Reels. NetEnt has set this game up so that at the beginning of play, two adjacent reels (the fourth and fifth) are linked up. Being linked means that they show the same three symbols. They're in the same order on these two linked reels, so you're getting better chances to hit winning combinations (though with the 243-ways format, the order doesn't really matter all that much).
To give you even more value on top of that, you'll randomly get extra linked reels in some spins, and this means you'll pick up three or four linked reels at a time. This is obviously a huge deal in a 243-ways format because it creates situations where four- and five-way payouts become much easier to achieve.
Overview
Most gameplay for Fantasini: Master of Mystery centers around the Linked Reels feature and how it makes the four of a kind and five of a kind wins much easier to hit. Add that in to the wild symbols and the fact that the 243-ways format works really well when paired up with this feature, and you get a game with a significant hit-rate that ultimately defines the experience.
If you're looking for big brands from various forms of media like movies, television shows and video games, you're not going to find that here. However, if you like a solid, low-volatility video slot experience, then you'll love this game.
