3 Magic Eggs

3 Magic Eggs: Slot Overview

The number 3 is one of the most significant numbers in history, showing up, amongst other things, in religion, mythology, and mathematics as the first prime number. In the online slot world, the number 3 is increasingly being associated with games that have three collection points linked to three modifiers, with the ability to combine up to all of them in a bonus round. Push Gaming's done it, Games Global studios have done them, and in this instance, developer Pragmatic Play is adding another one to the heap. Titled 3 Magic Eggs, it uses fantastical beasts, dragons, to add colour to its triple modifier action.

From a visual perspective, 3 Magic Eggs is a sort of spiritual successor to Games Global's iconic Dragonz. Here, three scaly amigos stand watch over a gaming grid, each one assigned to a collection nest and a special bonus round modifier. They live in a gorgeous, if chilly, realm of forests, water, and mountains, reminiscent of God of War's The Lake of Nine, though with less gore and monsters. Trigger the bonus game, and players are treated to a cavern rammed to the gills with glowing pointy gemstones. Nifty, if you like fantasy.

3 Magic Eggs is a highly volatile game that is played on a 5x3, 25-payline grid. Players may stake from $/€0.25 to $/€250 on each spin, or by using the ante bet, the stake is increased by 60% to double the chance of triggering the bonus round. When regular betting, the RTP at the highest setting is 96.51%.

On the symbol hierarchy can be found J-A card ranks, necklaces, hammers, warriors, and dragons. Landing 5 matching royals in a line pays 2x the bet, or landing 5 matching higher value picture symbols awards 4x to 20x the bet. Wilds are present on all reels, substituting for anything except Money symbols and Dragon Eggs. Wilds have the same value as the dragon pay symbol when making their own wins.

3 Magic Eggs: Slot Features

Three types of Dragon Eggs may land in the base game. When they hit, they are collected by their respective collection nest above the reels. When collected, they can randomly trigger the bonus round with their feature active. Dragon Egg collection happens at the end of the spin, and if the respin feature is activated, one, two, or three modifiers are randomly triggered with it.

Chest Respin Feature

Money symbols may only land during the respins round worth 0.6x to 50x the bet. When the respins round starts, regular symbols vanish, and only blanks and Money symbols may land. The round begins with 3 respins. All landed Money symbols remain on the screen till the feature ends, and every time at least one new Money symbol hits, the spin count returns to 3. When the Green, Red, or Blue Dragon Egg modifiers are active, these are their effects:

• Green Dragon Eggs grant a new row where only Collect or Super Collect symbols may land. The Collect symbol collects Money symbol values below it, the Super Collect collects all Money symbol values in view.
• Red Dragon Eggs grant a new row where only Mini, Minor, Major, or Grand symbols may land. These symbols are collected in the corresponding Jackpot meter. Every 3 Minis collected award 10x, every 4 Minors award 20x, every 5 Majors award 100x, and every 6 Grands award 2,000x the bet.
• Blue Dragon Eggs award a new row where only Multiplier symbols may land, multiplying the Money symbols on the reel beneath them by x2, x3, or x5.

The round ends when spins finish, or the reels are filled with Money symbols. At the end of the round, Money symbol values are awarded. If all positions are filled, then the Grand prize is also awarded.

Feature Buys

Players may buy the respins round with 1 modifier, 1-3 modifiers, 2 modifiers, or all 3 modifiers active for 60x, 70x, 100x, or 200x the stake, respectively.

3 Magic Eggs: Slot Verdict

3 Magic Eggs was a game that got less charming as it progressed. It started warmly as users are greeted by three friendly dragons in an enchanting dragony world. Then came the realisation it's another one of these 3 pot kind of games, which are an acquired taste. In saying that, a sizable number of gamblers must have acquired the taste because these sorts of slots are quickly growing into a large collection. 3 Magic Eggs is one that rests comfortably around the middle of the group, being neither exceptional nor totally subpar. Despite that, if you haven't been sold on this style before, then 3 Magic Eggs probably won't be the release to change your mind.

Interest in the game took a further hit when the bonus round was in play. It's alright, as far as average hold 'n' win Money symbol rounds go. It goes without saying that having all three modifiers active is the most desirable outcome. If players had to pick just one modifier, which would it be? The Red Dragon Egg triggered one has the benefit of being able to fling players closer to the game's 5,000x max win, should it produce the Grand prize. The Green Dragon Egg does lead to collecting Money symbols, which is a popular mechanic, and who can say no to the power of multipliers? How about we just say each modifier has its ups and downs and are about equally so-so.

So, while 3 Magic Eggs didn't wow, it's not hard to imagine it delighting the right gambler. It is a well designed slot that should be able to find a home among players who enjoy pot-filling anticipation, but for those seeking more dazzle, maybe don't be looking here. 3 Magic Eggs is a competent middle-of-the-road title, good for a few spins, but not memorable enough to become a permanent fixture.
