True Illusions is a contradiction in terms because if something is true, it cannot be an illusion… right? This acts as the ideal clue to the theme in play in this game, so think about that for a moment as we settle into the elements of our review. If you have any questions, we’re about to answer them for you here.
Which developer came up with True Illusions?
We can reveal one of the most popular game studio names out there… Betsoft.
Expect to get the chance to play a demo
Just load this version of the game instead of the real one, so you can try it and see it in action first.
Have you worked out the theme?
If you were wondering about magic, you’ve got it – this is based on a magician and reveals some of the parts of his act.
Does the game offer a magical design?
Yes, we get 3D action here, and there are many magic tricks and items appearing on the reels. White doves, a locked chest, a crystal ball, and the magician’s hand moving a handkerchief with a flourish all appear during the game.
How to play the True Illusions slot game
We have a standard 5 x 3 game to play here, and it doesn’t feature any progressive jackpot prizes. The wild is a normal one – it says WILD and features a couple of stars behind it – replacing everything except for the illusionist (magician, we guess) and the cards. Wilds can only land on the middle three reels.
The illusionist is a scatter, as is the card symbol that shows three cards of various suits in the same image.
How many lines are available to bet on?
We have 30 variable ones here, although if you drop lower than the maximum, you could miss a prize landing on one of the ignored lines.
Sort out your wager first
You’ve got plenty of variations here. Firstly, they’ve got coins ranging from a penny to a dollar. Secondly, they allow up to five of your preferred coins on each line.
Read the paytable before you play
We don’t think it matters if you’re getting into the demo game or the real one. You can still learn plenty from the paytable, so you’re more attuned to what might happen.
Bonus possibilities in True Illusions
If you can find three of those card scatters on the reels, you’ll go to another screen where the illusionist shows you a sheaf of cards. Choose one and you’ll see how much that card is worth in an instant bonus prize.
There’s another bonus too, this time connected to the wild symbol. If it lands on all three spots on reel three, you’ll see it lock into position as a wild reel. Better yet is the fact you get up to seven spins of the other reels when this happens. Sit back and watch what happens… you could net some prizes from these free spins.
Is there a proper round of free spins available as well?
Yes, you can head into this round whenever three illusionists turn up on the reels. All the free games offer cascading reels, which means winning combinations vanish and new symbols complete the presentation on the reels. These fall from above, and if you get more wins from this, the process continues.
Any details on the RTP figure?
We have noted many sources quoting one of two amounts in each case – 95.34% and 96.62%. So, it’s uncertain which one is correct, although we sure do hope it is the second!
Our rating after playing True Illusions
We love this one, especially as magic-themed slots are a favorite of ours. There are some neat tweaks and features involved, so we have seen enough to warrant an impressive score of 9.5 out of 10 points.
The magician’s assistant holds the best prize
Out of all the regular symbols, she awards the largest amounts for three, four, or five symbols on a paid line. Be aware that the paytable values change depending on how much you’re betting on each line.
Get some entertaining play from the demo
We had a long session on the demo that helped us work out whether this might be a promising game to play for real. We suggest you begin in the same way.
Always double check your coins before playing for real
It is wise to do this because every bet is final once you spin the reels.
Does it look cool on mobile devices as well?
Yes, True Illusions is a wonderful game no matter how you decide to access it. All casinos with Betsoft slots should have this one, and you should find it in the mobile casinos as well.
