Slot Summary

Ian the stage magician treats the reels as another prop in Magic Ian, Blueprint Gaming's portrait-format slot. Tricks can interrupt ordinary spins, while the main bonus uses card picks to alter a prize selection. Its medium volatility sits alongside considerable variation in how a round unfolds, including performances on a second reel set.
MechanicsRandom modifiers alter reels and bonus access

How It Plays

A rabbit wild substitutes for ordinary paying symbols but not the bonus symbol. During base play, Ian can also intervene with a modifier before the round finishes resolving.

Those interventions include matching reel arrangements, a whole reel becoming wild, and extra bonus symbols appearing. Teleport Spins introduce another grid, with wilds copied into corresponding positions.

Bonus & Free Spins

Three bonus symbols on reels two, three, and four open the Circle of Magic. Card picks improve awards or add features until a Spin card starts the final selection.

Possible outcomes include a cash multiplier or a free-spin mode. Magic Rope Spins increase reel height through their special wild, while Metamorph wilds expand the grid and award another spin.

Bankroll survival simulator

How long could a bankroll last on Magic Ian? We simulate thousands of sessions from this game's published RTP and volatility — the long-run math, not a prediction of your next spin.

Volatility tier: Medium

Running simulation…
How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (Medium). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (95.86%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (1,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
