Magic Money Maze by Pragmatic Play, developed in collaboration with Reel Kingdom, offers a distinctive blend of classic slot mechanics and board game elements. The game features a 5×3 reel layout with 10 fixed paylines, set against a backdrop of green and black, adorned with symbols representing U.S. currency and historical figures.
The core feature is the Board Game Bonus, triggered by landing three or more Bonus symbols. This bonus round transforms the reel set into a 7×7 grid, resembling a board game where players roll dice to move a token around the board. The objective is to land on squares that offer various rewards:
- Cash Prizes: Values ranging from 0.1x to 1,000x your bet.
- Arrows: Move your token to the next level at the end of the arrow.
- Hearts: Award an extra life, up to a maximum of three.
- Snakes and Scorpions: Remove a life.
- Presidents: Collecting 2, 3, or 4 President symbols applies multipliers of x2, x3, or x10, respectively, to the total round win.
Reaching the center of the board activates the Magic Money Maze Modifier, multiplying all cash prizes by increasing factors of x2, x3, x4, x5, and up to x10 with each subsequent visit to the center. The bonus round continues until all lives are lost or the maximum win of 10,000x your stake is achieved.
The base game includes Money symbols, which can appear on reels 1 to 4 and display random cash values. Landing five of these symbols on a payline awards the total of their displayed values. Additionally, the game offers a Bonus Buy option, allowing players to purchase direct entry into the bonus round for 120x their bet, where available.
