Play Voodoo Magic for Free - Demo Mode Gameplay
Clicking on the play button of the free Voodoo Magic slot is where the excitement begins. The game loads with an overview of the different bonus games and you click the spin button to get started.
The music reminds us of New Orleans with bass sounds. The game itself features a voodoo witch to the right brewing up a potion in a large cauldron and you'll also see a swinging voodoo doll hanging from the ceiling as well as a snake in a glass jar. All of this is set in a gloomy dark room with the reels taking prominent positions at the front of the screen. The symbols have a neon 3D design making them pop.
The game settings, sounds, information, and spin button are all located at the bottom of the screen. There's also an auto spin feature up to 1,000 spins. Spins start from 0.20 and go up to 100. When you land a winning spin the symbols pop out from the reels with a puff of smoke. We did enjoy the extra sounds such as the cackling witch when a bonus potion symbol lands on the reels and the laughing skulls.
This is a highly volatile game but we did land smaller wins during our tests and the pick a potion bonus in under 30 spins. The sounds and music speed up during the bonus round but this slot could seriously eat into your bankroll before you trigger the free spins bonus feature. The Mystery Curse or Fortune Hex are good but perhaps not enough to keep you playing to try and trigger the free spins. You can also purchase the free spins round using the bonus buy feature which will cost 1600 coins at the lowest bet.
On entering the free spins bonus round you get to choose one of three cards which will determine which free spins round you play. We landed the Super Voodoo Spins with 5 free spins and a 25x bonus guarantee. Mysteries are also added to the reels and the tempo of the music really speeds up with trumpets that will make you feel like you're taking part in a New Orleans marching parade.
Magic Theme, RTP, and Volatility of this Game
The Voodoo Magic slot has a magical theme and features 5 reels and 40 paylines depicted in a 5x4 grid. The RTP is set at 96.50% which is slightly above average, but the high volatility means wins are less frequent and we definitely noticed this while playing. The background features a Voodoo priestess brewing up a potion and the music helps to set the scene as well. The visuals are great but the difficulty in triggering the bonus features is something that let the game down. The bonus buy feature is a great addition here and one that you should consider using.
This free slot is optimized for all devices and spins start from 0.20 and go up to 100. Pragmatic Play has ranked the volatility as 4.5 out of 5 but we feel it is closer to 5 as it took well over 300 spins to trigger the free spins bonus round. If you do manage to hit a big win the max is set at 1,000x which actually feels a little on the low side and might be disappointing for some players.

Mystery Curses and Other Bonus features in the Voodoo Magic Slot
While the volatility may be high, the bonus features included in Voodoo Magic are great when you activate them. They include Mystery Curses, the Fortune Hex, and three free spins bonus rounds. The Mystery Curse or Fortune Hex is the easiest to trigger but be prepared for quite a wait for 3 bonus symbols to land for the free spins bonus unless you opt to use the bonus buy option.
Wild symbols are prominent on the reels and these help to create winning combinations by substituting for other symbols except the bonus symbols. As well as this, players also benefit from the bonus buy option. All three free spins rounds come with 5 spins unless the guaranteed minimum win isn't reached. If this happens you get another 5 spins until the min win is reached.
In the table below, you'll find more information on each of the bonus features including in the Voodoo Magic slot.
3 Different Free Spins Bonuses to Choose From
There are three different free spins bonus rounds to choose from in Voodoo Magic. To activate this bonus feature you need to land 3 bonus symbols on the reels or use the bonus buy option.
You will be taken to a new screen where you pick one of three potion bottles. This will determine the free spins round you enter. The options are the Mega Voodoo Spins with a guaranteed win of 50x, the Super Voodoo Spins with a guaranteed win of 25x, and the Voodoo Spins with a guaranteed win of 10x. Each option awards you 5 free spins and these are retriggered if you don't meet the minimum win requirement.
During the free spins, mystery symbols are added to the reels and unveiled once the reels stop spinning. There is the potential for big rewards in these rounds but be warned, it can take a long time to trigger them when not using the bonus buy option.
What We Really Thought of this Game?
Having played Voodoo Magic from Pragmatic Play, we give it an overall rating of 4/5. We were a little disappointed with the high volatility and low max win. The theme, graphics, and soundtrack impressed us and the game is packed with features that are interesting. We were more than happy to have the bonus buy option for this game too.
The win guaranteed in the free spins was also great but the low potential really did put a dent in our overall opinion. We expected more from this slot and Pragmatic Play and more from the free spins round. The reward of five spins seems a little on the low side and we wanted more from this bonus feature. Despite the downsides, the game was entertaining and the soundtrack didn't become tedious or repetitive, and we did have fun playing. The Mystery Curse and Fortune Hex were great. It's a bit of a mixed opinion but overall we'd say, it's a good slot to play and one that lives up to its theme.
Speaking of themes and Pragmatic Play, if you want to try other free slots with skeletons, Cowboys Gold is a good choice. For zombie fans, Wild Walker or Plants vs Zombies from Blueprint Gaming are great. For even more magical fun Madame Destiny Megaways is another top choice.
