Play Magician Dreaming for Free

Magician Dreaming takes place in a proper circus, with magic and clown shows around the clock and a lot going on under the marquee.

The background of the game is a simple yellow and white striped pattern, reminiscent of the marquee itself. Nothing much going on there, the reels themselves are rather plain as well but the symbols are bright and stand out nicely on the rather dull background.

The music is what you would probably imagine circus music to be: upbeat and engaging, it will perhaps remind you of actual memories from your childhood. In a nutshell, Magician Dreaming does a decent job at setting up a universe, without being exceptional in that regard.

Playing Magician Dreaming is a rather straightforward endeavour, the gameplay being accessible to even beginner players. You have five reels and ten paylines maximum to bet on, which is less than for most games. Start by choosing your coin value with the red button at the bottom of the game screen, and activate as many paylines as you would like with the switch located right above it, or with the side tabs that flank the reels.

Once you have chosen the amount of your wager, you are good to go. Hit the blue Start button to set the reels into movement, and cross your fingers! Combinations of identical symbols on an activated payline pay from left to right and can add up. After a win, you can Gamble further by clicking the corresponding button and play a mini game against the computer. Guess correctly the colour of a hidden card to double your wager, and guess its suit to quadruple it. The game is over when you either decide to quit and leave with your coins, or when you make a mistake and they are taken away from you. So choose wisely!

Lastly, you can use the Autoplay function to set a number of autospins to bet on in a row. Perfect option for players who enjoy a seamless gaming experience, or simply if you prefer not to be interrupted and like to watch your wins pile up!

The circus of Magician Dreaming is full of familiar faces, as far as the paytable screen goes. Most of the symbols are inspired by the circus universe.

We begin with the odd ones out, so to say, ranging from 9 to Ace. Those playing cards-inspired icons are the least valuable of all, but they are shaped by tiny colourful light bulbs and are quite fun to see line up regardless. Besides, money is money!

Moving upwards, we find the Clown Shoes, the Entrance Tickets for the show, the (slightly creepy) laughing Clown, the Deck of Cards and the white Rabbit

The two last symbols in Magician Dreaming have something extra compared to the others.

The Magician himself tops the list: a combination of five Magicians on an activated payline is worth a whopping 10,000 times your initial bet! It also acts as the Wild card of the game, able to replace any basic symbol to form a winning combination. Each time it does so, the reward of said combination is immediately multiplied by two.

Finally, the Circus Games ticket is the Scatter in our game. It can appear anywhere on the reels and trigger rewards regardless of alignment. Moreover, a combination of three, four or five Scatters awards a Bonus round of 15 Free Spins, where all rewards are multiplied by three!

Magician Dreaming explores a theme that is not as widely exploited in the universe of online slot gaming: circus. It does so rather well, with a coherent universe and generous rewards.

The graphics are not exactly top notch, and the symbols stay static even when they line up. A more dynamic setup would have added a little something to the mix, but it is in no way a deal breaker. The game may struggle to compete with modern slots titles like Fantasini from NetEnt, but the circus aspect makes it just that little bit unique.
