Magic Maid Cafe

You might wonder why a video slot would have as its main character a girl dressed like a maid, inviting people to serve food and coffee in a café. That’s what happens in Magic Maid Cafe, a game that is definitely designed for the Asian market. 

You see, in Asia there’s a whole culture surrounding Maid Cafés, places where the waitresses are young attractive girls all dressed up like French Maids. This trend has its roots in Manga culture, and it has an increasing following in Asia and even in Europe and North America now. 

Theme

The whole action takes place in a Maid Café, the waitress sits right next to the reels and invites the customers to taste the goodies. There are no actual spinning reels in Magic Maid Cafe, you have trays with various deserts dropping in from above in front of the patron. 

There is no background music in this game, all you hear is the clients chatting and some sound effects when the trays drop and when you hit winning combos. The “spin” button is designed in the shape of a coffee cup, and that is a very nice touch. 

Betting Options and Functions

The game has 5 reels and 3 rows, with the classic number of 20 paylines. However, the gameplay is not based on spinning reels, the symbols drop like in a game of Tetris and the symbols that make up winning combos disappear, while others drop in their places. 

That can lead to very rewarding cascading wins, we’ll get into more details about that a bit later. The biggest payout that you can get in this slot is 2,300 times the stake. This title has medium to high volatility and the theoretical return to player (RTP) sits at 95.97%. 

Features

There’s no shortage of special features in this game, let’s see: 

• Avalanche System

As mentioned earlier, you can experience cascading wins in this slot. However, there’s more to that because whenever you hit a winning combination, there’s a multiplier for the next one. You can move up from x2 on your second avalanche to x3 on the third and ultimately to x5 on the fourth. 

• Free Spins

The Key symbol can lead to a free spins session, you need at least three of those to drop in a spin. The special thing about the free spins (or free falls as they are called in this game) is that the avalanche system gets a boost, the multiplier ranges from x3 to x15! 

Conclusion

Magic Maid Cafe is a good attempt from NetEnt to capture the Asian market, Maid Cafés are very popular over there and this game does get you into that vibe. However, it should be appealing to players from all over the world, because it definitely is entertaining. 

The Avalanche System surely adds a lot to the entertainment value of the gameplay, it can lead to some great wins. The whole design is based on pink and that might put off some people, but overall there are nicely designed symbols and an immersive atmosphere.
