Slot Summary

Start an experiment with a spin in Magic Lab, NetEnt's slot set among potions and spells. The laboratory premise gives its changing symbol mix a clear identity: combinations disappear, replacements arrive, and the bonus gradually removes ingredients from the reels. A persistent wild supplies the connection between those successive reactions.

How It Plays

Wins require at least 8 matching paying symbols anywhere on the grid. Their positions do not need to form a line, so the relevant question is how many matching symbols are present.

Winning symbols disappear and replacements fall into the gaps. A wild substitutes for paying symbols, survives winning combinations, and increases its multiplier by 1 with each avalanche; only one wild can appear at a time.

Bonus & Free Spins

Landing 3 or more scatters awards 5 free spins. A guaranteed wild is locked at the bottom of the reels on the first spin, followed by symbol removals that last through the round. Larger scatter triggers add more removals, while a 5-scatter trigger also doubles the accumulated wild multiplier on the final spin.

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-High). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (96.06%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (5,999×).

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.
