Fantasini: Master of Mystery

By Matt Kennedy | Updated 7 March 2016

The game is designed by Net Entertainment and is playable from 20p to £125 per spin.

Theme

Fantasini is a 19^th century illusionist and game play revolves around him and his world of magic. Symbols include the illusionist himself as well as his female assistant, gold handcuffs, a chained magic box a crystal ball and playing cards with a dagger through them. The reels are encased in an ornate gold frame that sits on top of a table covered in a deep red cloth. The colours are all pretty dark and a powerful soundtrack adds to the excitement of the game.

Wild Symbol

The magician Fantasini represents the wild symbol and this substitutes for all other symbols on the reels. The wild symbol only appears on reels two, three, four and five.

Linked Reels Feature

Fans of other NetEnt slots such as Dazzle Me will be familiar with the linked reels feature used in Fantasini. At the beginning of each spin at least two of the reels are chained together. This means that when they stop spinning both reels land on exactly the same symbols. If you’re lucky the linked reels will take in three, four or even all five reels, significantly boosting your chances of creating a winning combination.

Verdict

Despite the lack of a free spins round or any other bonus games, Fantasini: Master of Mystery is an entertaining game to play. The linked reels feature boosts chances of winning with every spin and there’s always the chance that all five reels will link to create a big win. You could walk away with 1,080 times your stake if you’re lucky enough to have five reels link together. The game is fast paced and does not lack in thrills.
