Crystal Ball review

Graphics, Sounds, and Animations

Get ready to step into a mystical, magical world. Look into the crystal ball, and you might just see wins coming your way, when you play this Gamomat title.

Crystal Ball feels a bit older than slots you’ll have seen recently, but that’s not a bad thing. It just means that it has the traditional slot game feeling that some games are missing these days. The cheerful sounds as the reels spin are reminiscent of classic slot games at land-based casinos, but unfortunately, there’s no eerie backing track to further immerse you in the game.

Gameplay

To trigger a win in this game, you’ll need to land at least two of the high-paying symbols, or three of the lower-paying symbols on adjacent reels from left to right on a payline. The wizard symbol pays out the most, and the unicorn, potions bottle, and locket also award nice wins.

Wilds, Bonuses, and Free Spins

The Crystal Ball slot game doesn’t have a huge amount of special features, but the Free Spins round is definitely worth your time.

The blazing red crystal ball symbol is the Wild, and it can substitute for all other symbols, except the bonus icons during Free Spins. The crystal ball also happens to be the Scatter, so if you land three or more of them, you’ll get 10 Free Spins. The bonus round begins with a randomly chosen bonus symbol. At the end of each spin, any reel with a bonus symbol becomes a full bonus symbol reel if extra wins can be awarded.

After a winning spin, you’ll be given the option to gamble to try to increase your winnings. You can do this by trying to predict whether a virtual card will be red or black, or by attempting to climb up the Gamble Ladder. Both of these have a "partial collect" feature, so you can take some of your winnings away if you’re not confident to risk it all.

Bet Sizes, RTP, and Variance

Crystal Ball has a Return to Player (RTP) percentage of 96.11%, which is above the industry average of 96% for slot games. We were also impressed to see that the game has high volatility, so wins don’t pay out that often, but if you’re lucky enough to bag one, it could be quite big. This makes for entertaining gameplay, which is especially important for a relatively basic slot like this one.

The minimum bet is low at just $/€/£0.05, and you can spin for up to $/€/£10, and there’s a chance to walk away with up to 5,000x your stake.

Conclusion

Crystal Ball has a certain charm to it, largely because it feels a lot like playing a land-based slot from years gone by. There aren’t many bells and whistles, but unlike some other retro-style games, this one does have a few special features like Free Spins and the Gamble option. We’re usually fans of magic-themed games, but the theme here isn’t particularly strong, so it’s best to focus more on the gameplay, high volatility, and above-average RTP.
