The Magician Plus in Playboy Casino (Play8oy): Three Features, Three Jackpots and the Stake They Need

A 9-line stage-magic slot with three separate features. The catch: the jackpots only pay in full at a Total Play of 180, which changes how you should bet.

The Magician Plus reels in Play8oy with the magician in a red hat, MAGIC logos, daggers, blue top hats, gloved hands holding a wand and a snake, 9 lines at Play 1

The Magician Plus is a stage-magic slot in the Playboy Casino (also written Play8oy) lobby: red curtains, columns on either side, and a dark green reel set full of props. It plays on nine lines, but it packs in more features than most 9-liners, and its jackpot rules have a direct effect on how much you should stake.

The paytable runs along the top of the rules screen. For five / four / three:

  • Magician in the red hat: 1000 / 500 / 100
  • MAGIC neon logo: 750 / 300 / 50
  • Snake: 400 / 200 / 30
  • Yellow canary: 250 / 150 / 25
  • Crystal ball: 200 / 100 / 20
  • Blue top hat: 150 / 75 / 15
  • Dagger: 100 / 50 / 10
  • Gloved hand with wand: 50 / 25 / 5

Our small win shows the bottom of the table: three wands across the bottom row paid 5 at Play 1.

The three features

This is where "Plus" earns its name:

  • Main game feature: a white tiger and the magician next to each other, left to right, award a bonus score.
  • Free Game: the blonde assistant and the magician next to each other, left to right, start free games. "More free spins can be won during free spins infinitely."
  • Bonus Game: three or more Bonus Game symbols anywhere on the screen. The preview strip shows several stages (a phone booth, a board of tiles, a cage, the magician on stage and balloons), so expect a multi-step bonus.

Jackpots and the stake they require

Three jackpot boxes sit at the top, each with a picture: the assistant (Jackpot 1), the white tiger (Jackpot 2) and a monkey (Jackpot 3). In our screenshots all three read 0. The rule is "Five-in-line wins 100% of jackpot", with a table beneath it:

  • Minimum Total Play 90: 50% of the jackpot
  • Minimum Total Play 180: 100% of the jackpot

That is the key betting fact. Our captures were at Play 1, Total Play 9, which is ten times below the lowest jackpot tier. At that stake a five-of-a-kind still pays its line value, but you are not playing for the jackpot at all.

Choosing your level

Two sensible ways to play:

  • Cheap and cheerful: Play 1 or 2, enjoy the free games and bonus game, ignore the jackpots.
  • Jackpot-eligible: Play 10 (Total Play 90) or Play 20 (180). This costs ten to twenty times as much per spin, so only do it with a balance that can take a few hundred spins at that level.

Anything between those two is the worst of both: more cost per spin, still no jackpot.

Questions players ask

How do I win a jackpot in The Magician Plus?

Five in a line wins the jackpot, but the share depends on your stake: a Total Play of 90 wins 50% and 180 wins 100%. The table lists no share for stakes below 90.

How are free games triggered?

When the blonde assistant and the magician land next to each other from left to right. More free spins can be won during the free spins.
