Mr Null's Wicked Wares: Mystery Multipliers

Mr Null's Wicked Wares is a Pragmatic Play slot set in a sorcerer's lair, played on a special 3-4-4-4-3 grid. The two outer reels hold three symbols each and the three centre reels hold four, 18 positions in total.

Everything in the game runs through mystery symbols on those centre reels. They transform into a randomly chosen paying symbol and carry a win multiplier, and when two or more of them help form a win, their multipliers are multiplied together rather than added.

The free spins keep the same idea but change where the multipliers come from: numbers above reels 2 to 4 set the value for each mystery symbol and climb as the round goes on.

Pragmatic Play lists the RTP at 96.49% on its official game page, and that is the only RTP figure it publishes there. The RTP shown in the game's own information screen is the one that applies to the version you are playing.

The game page does not publish volatility, a max win, a bet range or a release date, so none are quoted here. The figures it does give are the mechanics themselves: base game multipliers from 2x to 10x, 7 initial free spins, 1 extra free spin per additional scatter, and free spins reel multipliers that start at 2 and rise by +1.

The shape of the grid matters because the mystery symbols only land on reels two, three and four, the three tallest reels. Those reels hold 12 of the 18 positions, so the feature reels make up two thirds of the board.

Reels one and five, with three positions each, are not among the reels Pragmatic Play names for mystery symbols. Whatever lands there still counts towards the winning combinations that a mystery symbol needs to be part of before its multiplier applies.

In the free spins the same three centre reels gain a number displayed above each of them, so the grid's tallest reels are also the only ones with their own multiplier track.

In the base game, mystery symbols landing on reels two, three or four transform into a randomly chosen paying symbol. Each one carries a multiplier between 2x and 10x.

The multiplier only counts if the mystery symbol forms part of a winning combination. When it does, it boosts the total win; when the transformed symbol misses, the multiplier does nothing.

Pragmatic Play's summary describes the base game mystery symbols as carrying a win multiplier of up to 10x, which sets the ceiling for any single mystery symbol outside the free spins.

The key rule is multiplication. When two or more mystery symbols contribute to a win, their multipliers are multiplied together, not added.

As an illustration of that rule, two contributing mystery symbols at 3x and 4x would combine to 12x rather than 7x. With three contributing mystery symbols, one on each centre reel, the product grows faster again: 2x, 3x and 5x together would make 30x.

That is why the centre reels carry the game. One mystery symbol can lift a win by up to 10x, but every extra mystery symbol in the same winning combination multiplies the result again.

Three scatters trigger the bonus game with seven initial free spins. Each additional scatter grants one more free spin.

Pragmatic Play's summary describes the extra spins as one additional free spin for each scatter that lands, so the round can run beyond its opening count of seven. As an illustration, a trigger with four scatters would start the round with eight free spins.

During the feature, numbers shown above the centre three reels, reels 2 to 4, determine the win multiplier for any mystery symbol that lands on that reel. In place of the random 2x to 10x values of the base game, each reel has its own number.

Each of those numbers starts at 2 and increases by +1 every time a mystery symbol hits the reel below it. A reel that keeps catching mystery symbols therefore builds a bigger multiplier for the mystery symbols that follow on it.

Each number belongs to its own reel and only rises when a mystery symbol hits that reel, so the three values can differ. As an illustration, a round in which reel 2 catches three mystery symbols and reel 4 catches one would leave reel 2's number at 5 and reel 4's at 3, ready for the next mystery symbols to land there.

The free Mr Null's Wicked Wares demo on this page is the quickest way to see how often mystery symbols actually form part of a win. In the base game, count how many land per spin on reels two to four and how many of them connect.

In the free spins, track the three numbers above the centre reels. Note which reel climbs fastest and how high the values get by the end of the round, since every mystery symbol hit raises its reel by one.

A demo session shows how the mechanics behave, not what any future spin will pay. Play is for adults aged 18 and over only.
