Play Magic Jam for Free

Magic Jam is mobile-compatible, and seems like it would be easily playable on a touchscreen, with large buttons and bright, easy to read symbols. Playability-wise, it's your standard 5-reel slot with a 5x3 board. As you'd expect, the main gameplay involves generating wins through matching up the base symbols. Wild appears as a purple spellbook, complete with ominous skull on the front, and you can also collect magic potions, which translate to multipliers.

The best symbol has to be the rather creepy magic hat (it would definitely not get the Harry Potter seal of approval!) which awards free spins. The game description refers to them as 'evil' and it’s true that they have a rather intimidating scowl going on, but on the plus side they give you free spins. Maybe they're just misunderstood?

The paytable for Magic Jam is easily clickable and understandable and includes information regarding the bonus game with boiling cauldrons. Magic Jam has a straightforward betting system, with 10 different betting levels with coin sizes ranging from 0.01, allowing you to set a max bet of 10 coins per line, which multiplied by the game’s 10 paylines makes for 100 coins per spin. There's an autobet option that comes with the game and a max bet button. Also, with an RTP of 95.7%, the chances to win are definitely higher than with many online slots around – always a plus. Combine this with free spins and multipliers and there’s enough here to keep most punters entertained.

If you like the distinctive style of ThunderSpin then it's worth checking out some of their other online slots. In particular Zombie Slot has a similar playing style and some truly disgusting (in the best possible way) squelching sound effects plus an awesome bonus round where you have to try and create a zombie corpse from different body parts. Alternatively, check out Calipso and search for sunken treasure under the ocean, complete with merpeople and various fishy friends. This game has a high payout, plenty of free spins, as well as wilds and a fun bonus round. If instead you prefer to stick with the fantasy or magical theme then many of the big names have brought out their own contributions, with Magic Portals from NetEnt being a more engrossing game with 25 paylines.

While there are undoubtedly more advanced games out there, in terms of both graphics and playability, Magic Jam has a certain endearing quirkiness to it. The fantasy theme makes this a fun slot to play slots for free or for real money, especially with the higher RTP it commands, and while the main gameplay is basic, it’s hard to find fault with the visuals on display here.

Magic Jam is great looking slot, one that lives up to its title in laying on no end of magic and enchantment, although there’s not much jam to be found, it must be said. There are a lot of fairy tale-themed slots out there, but on this evidence, ThunderSpin have staked a claim for being worthy of competing with the very best.
