The Great Albini Slot

Graphics

The Great Albini puts the reelcase right in the middle of the stage. To the side, we see Albini himself, staff in hand (because all good magicians carry staffs...or is that wizards?), serving as the slot mascot and drawing applause as he makes his entrance.

The symbols themselves float mid-air and are comprised of Birds, Balls in Cups, Targets – all magically themed. With each winning combination, Albini will react differently, shuffling cards, performing tricks, essentially using his powers to spur us on towards wins. When the paylines increase to 50, the curtains change colour magically and the Lily Wild feature comes into play, giving us a massive assistant taking up the entire screen when she appears stacked.

A true sight to behold! As well as the perfect blend of 3D characters and symbols, the catchy soundtrack is fun to listen to, as are the character’s voices – it really does make us feel like we’re part of the show.

Gameplay

When it comes to betting options, The Great Albini gives us a wide selection but errs on the lower variable side of things, making this slot great for low rollers. But we still have that hefty jackpot to play for.

The Mystery Boxes add an element of suspense to the slot when they appear across the entire reels. Three Re-spins head our way with the boxes staying locked in place. Extra boxes can appear during our spins, remaining locked in place until the end of the round when the boxes are all replaced by a main game symbol and according - and often multiple - wins are calculated.

This feature adds magical surprise as we never know which symbol we’re going to get, but payouts are always generous. Even more so during the Free Spins bonus round. When three Bonus Boxes land on the second, third and fourth reels, we get 8, 10 or 12 Free Spins across the newly extended 50 paylines. Lily now appears as a Stacked Wild, Multipliers fly left, right and centre and then comes the chance to play for 4,000 times our stake!

Verdict

Magic shows tend to be a thing of the past nowadays. Up close and personal tricksters rule the roost while the big stage shows are dying out.

The Great Albini brings stage magic back with a bang, combining unique slot features with a fantastic show. After a few spins, like us, you’ll be shouting ‘Encore!’.
