Crystal Mirror

Mirror, mirror on the wall, what's the fairest game of them all?

Well, according to Red Tiger Gaming, at least, this title belongs to Crystal Mirror, a slot machine where all 6 reels are synced via an invisible mirror in the middle.

Gaze into it and see if your jackpot wishes will come true!

Offering Nudging Stacked Wilds, innovative Mirror Reels, and Free Spins with Sticky Stacked Wilds, this odd-looking game will lead you up to 5,000x your stake!

And What About The Theme And Symbols?

The first thing you will notice upon loading the game is that it differs from other titles in its mirrored reels designs with simple, but attractive visuals.

The black and gold graphics really add to its overall royal feel, supplemented by symbols such as gemstones, crowns, diamonds and vials, but also four card suit icons made out of gemstones themselves.

Though you won't see much in the plain background, the lack of it is replaced by animations of flashing lights occurring on the reel edge and shiny symbols. 

You can play this royal-themed game on all devices including tablet and mobile, and...

...thanks to its simple gameplay and understated design, it works nicely enough on the small screen devices.

How Much Can We Bet?

This 6-reeled, 20 pay line game is played using an unusual game engine, which means that reels 1, 2 and 3 are synced with reels 6, 5 and 4 on every single spin.

Nevertheless, winning combinations are formed in the usual manner by landing 3 or more matching symbols in a pay line on adjoining reels, starting from reel 1.

With pretty high volatility, the title also comes with the RTP of 95.76% which is a little on the low side, offering a maximum prize of 5,000x the stake.

But, in order to try and earn it, you need to first set your bets that vary between 10p and £/€20, which is only good for low-risk rollers.

When it comes to symbols, there are 11 of them in total, with 2 special and 9 regular ones.

The lowest-rewarding symbols are gemstone-designed playing card suit symbols worth up to 1.5x the stake for six of a kind, while...

...the highest-paying symbol is the gem-adorned tiara which awards 1x, 2x, 4x or 8x the stake if you land 3, 4, 5 or 6 in combination.

The Wild symbol that substitutes for all the regular symbols is also the one that pays the most - up to 25x stake.

What About The Special Features?

The key to achieving success in this game is the Sticky Stacked Wilds which can really speed the pace up during the Free Spins round.

Let's see how to get there!

As we have already mentioned, the Mirrored Reels is the game's central feature with the first and last, the second and the fifth and the third and the fourth reels mirroring each other, while landing identical stacked symbols.

Speaking of Stacked symbols, punters will always have at least two stacked Wilds at the same time.

Besides, they can also expand and cover all 4 positions on the reel set. The 1x4 Wild may land fully or partially in view, and if the latter happens, it may be nudged to cover the full reel.

Now, in order to trigger the Free Spins feature, you will need 4 to 6 Scatter symbols, rather than the usual number of three.

When that occurs, you will be awarded 10 or 15 extra games. 

When the features start, you can expect Nudged Wilds to fill entire reels and remain their places until the end of the game. 

The partial Super Wilds are also present here thanks to the Nudges, which makes it relatively easy to land plenty of wilds during the extra rounds. 

What Can We Conclude?

The one thing that surely makes this game stand out from the rest of the titles from the Red Tiger's slot list is its unusual game mechanic.

Though the reel mirroring feature is perhaps not vitally-important, it adds extra fun to the base game, as well as to the extra round.

The 5,000x potential is decent however, the variance seems to be extremely high!

Overall, Crystal Mirror is an average game that might not appeal to everyone, but, it certainly has something new to offer, which is maybe the first thing that some punters have on their priority lists.
