Pragmatic Play Unveils Mysterious, a New Video Slot with a Ghostly Victorian Theme
Fans of eerie ghost stories may appreciate the setting of Pragmatic Play’s Mysterious, a new 4-reel slot built around 4096 ways-to-win.
Mysterious launched in February and is set in the 19th-century Victorian era. Rather than relying on a straightforward historical backdrop, Pragmatic Play gives the slot an eerie mood, supernatural features and a reel layout that can expand during play.
Mysterious begins with 4 reels against a mist-covered Victorian cityscape, setting a spectral tone. During play, the reels can expand from a 4x4 arrangement with 243-ways-to-win to a 6x4 layout offering 4096-ways-to-win.
Players seek the ‘The Lord’, The Lady’, and ‘The Baron’ wild symbols. They can form winning combinations and trigger features 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 one spin, adding a potentially rewarding twist to the game’s supernatural moments.
A scatter symbol may award 8 to 12 free spins, providing another opportunity for multiple wins. During the free spins bonus, the layout expands from 4 reels to 6, unlocking 4096-ways-to-win. The ‘The Lord’, The Lady’, and ‘The Baron’ wild symbols remain active throughout the round.
The free spins round also includes roaming wilds that can disappear and reappear in a random reel position. Their return may help form winning combinations as the feature plays out.
A separate locking multiplier feature is linked to 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 brought back onto the reels could create additional combinations in a spin.
Mysterious was the fourth Pragmatic Play video slot announced for February, following Master Joker, Super 7s and El Dorado The City of Gold. Golden Beauty was planned as the fifth release for the end of the month. The studio also had three online slots lined up for March: Aztec Bonanza, The Wild Machine and Dance Party.
