Have you ever wondered how alchemists ever found out if their concocted potions worked? Did they try them on themselves, or did they have willing or even unwilling test subjects? I mean, there’s a big difference between magically transforming into a lion or an ant, and what if a love potion does the opposite and makes a person hate you with a murderous passion? Answers on a postcard, please chaps, and chapettes, as this is something I’ve often wondered about. In case you’re wondering, I’m harping on about potions and alchemy for a simple reason, a request to review PGSoft's Mystic Potion landed in my lap, so the loyal servant I am, here it is. Mystic Potion is a 6-reel and 6-row cluster pays slot with a 96.73% RTP and a 10,000x the stake maximum win.
So, what magical ingredients does PG Soft have up its sleeve for this latest slot concoction? Well, first up, the cluster pays mechanic works alongside cascading reels, meaning there is the potential for a single spin to churn out multiple wins. Plus, Giant symbols form on the reels holding multipliers of up to 500x, which are then applied to the total win at the end of a spin. In the slot’s free spins bonus, those multipliers carry over between spins, potentially creating some rather lucrative multiplier-enhanced payouts.
Is this a concoction that sounds appealing? If so, you can practice for free on the Mystic Potion slot demo below. It’s free to play, of course, so you won't have to worry about hurting your bankroll.

The Cluster Pays mechanic is not used as much as it once was when it became the next big thing in calculating payout mechanics, mainly because other engines such as Megaways and, more recently, Scatter Pays have proved more popular with players. Personally, I still play quite a few Cluster Pays slots, and if you want to try a couple more in the PG Soft catalogue when you're finished up with today's review of Mystic Potion, then go ahead and fire up our Rave Party Fever slot and Diner Delight demo games.
As you’ll see on the Mystic Potion paytable, you’re rewarded for clusters of symbols rather than having to land them across paylines. The Red Potion offers the best payout, as you will receive 50x the stake for any cluster containing 20 or more of the symbol. The Pink Potion is next, with 25x on offer, while the Blue and Green Potions return up to 12.5x and 10x, respectively. The non-premiums are the Clubs, Hearts, Diamonds, and Spades, all offering payouts of up to 5x the stake. While it has no payout value, a Wild symbol will also help form winning combinations by substituting for any of the above symbols.
Before you start enjoying the Mystic Potion slot, you’ll have to decide on a bet that suits your bankroll. Fortunately, the betting range of €0.20 and €180.00 per spin supported should have most of you covered.
As mentioned, the Mystic Potion slot uses a cluster pays mechanic to determine payouts. That means you’ll need to land at least five matching symbols connected horizontally or vertically to receive a payout. Clusters pay no matter where they are formed on the 6x6 gaming grid.
A cascading reels mechanic is also in play. It works by removing all symbols involved in a winning combination so that more can fall onto the grid, potentially creating a chain reaction of wins.
Whenever four matching symbols appear on the reels in a square shape, they’ll transform into a giant 4x4-sized symbol and hold a random multiplier between 2x and 500x. All multipliers of Giant symbols are collected beneath the reels, added together and applied to the total win of the spin.
Those Giant symbols and their multipliers are the only features in the base game - aside from wild symbols, of course. Fortunately, there is a free spins bonus that’s always welcome once triggered.
You need three or more scatter symbols anywhere in view to trigger the free spins bonus. You’re given 15 free spins for three and two additional for each scatter symbol on top. The action plays out similarly to the base game, but the multipliers collected from the Giant symbols now carry over between spins. They no longer reset.
I’ve always enjoyed cluster pays slots in the main, and Mystic Potion is another that I had a good time testing out. Is it up there with the better ones I’ve played? Perhaps not, but it does have some appealing aspects. The Giant symbols, should you get lucky enough, can create some impressive multiplied wins, and what I like is that those values are applied to the total win on a spin rather than just the winning combinations of the symbols holding them.
