Pragmatic Play Releases Mysterious, a New Video Slot with a Ghostly Victorian Theme
Pragmatic Play’s Mysterious may appeal to fans of eerie ghost stories. This new 4-reel slot is built around 4096 ways to win.
Mysterious arrived in February and is set in the 19th-century Victorian era. Instead of a conventional historical backdrop, Pragmatic Play gives the slot a spooky atmosphere, with supernatural features and reels that can expand during play.
Mysterious sets 4 reels against a misty Victorian cityscape, creating a spectral mood from the outset. During play, the reels can expand from a 4x4 setup with 243 ways to win to a 6x4 arrangement with 4096 ways to win.
Players look for the ‘The Lord’, The Lady’, and ‘The Baron’ wild symbols. They can form winning combinations and activate features that spread across the reels, including 2x and 3x multipliers, expanding symbols and wilds that spread to neighbouring reels.
The effects have a spooky presentation, but each wild symbol feature can create several wins from a single spin, adding a potentially rewarding twist to the game’s supernatural theme.
A scatter can award 8 to 12 free spins, creating another chance for multiple wins. In the free spins bonus, the layout expands from 4 reels to 6, enabling 4096 ways to win. ‘The Lord’, ‘The Lady’ and ‘The Baron’ wild symbols remain active throughout the bonus.
The free spins round also includes roaming wilds that may disappear and return on a random reel. Their reappearance can help build winning combinations as the feature continues.
A separate locking multiplier feature centres on a gold Victorian clock. When it lands and strikes 12, random multipliers from 3x to 12x are applied to the combined value of winning combinations. Wilds that return to the reels could create additional combinations on a spin.
Mysterious was the fourth Pragmatic Play video slot announced for February, after Master Joker, Super 7s and El Dorado The City of Gold. Golden Beauty was scheduled as the fifth release, due at the end of February. The studio also had three online slots planned for March: Aztec Bonanza, The Wild Machine and Dance Party.
