3 Magic Eggs Slot Review
Pragmatic Play introduces a wild crossover of themes, where Viking muscle meets Dinosaur power in 3 Magic Eggs. This game looks just as playful as it sounds, with 3 adorable Dino mascots stealing the spotlight above the reels.
Each brings their own Dinosaur Feature to the party, keeping each session fresh, lively, and full of surprises. This game taps into one of the iGaming industry’s newest trend-setters, the ‘3 Pots’ mechanic.
After years dominated by the Megaways and Hold & Win format, this style of gameplay offers a refreshing shift in direction, as seen in Push Gaming’s 3 Magic Pots and Triple Rampage. Given how quickly the ‘3 Pots’ mechanic has gained traction, it was only a matter of time before Pragmatic Play decided to take it for a spin.
Those adorable dragons are not just there to look cute, either. Each one plays a vital role in unleashing powerful Dragon Features, with Cash Collects, Jackpot Bonuses, and Random Multipliers all firmly on the menu, transforming charm into genuine win potential…
Base Game & Features
3 Magic Eggs is a highly volatile 5-reel, 3-row video slot with 25 fixed pay lines. Wins are triggered when 3, 4, or 5 identical symbols appear on adjoining reels, starting from reel 1.
The Red Dragon is the highest-paying symbol, followed by the Viking, Hammer, Necklace, and A, K, Q, & J card suits. After a spin is complete, all winning combinations award a fixed payout between 0.2x and 20x your bet.
Additionally, Golden Wilds appear on all reels, in the base game only, and substitute for all symbols except Money & Dragon Egg symbols. Wild symbols apply a payout of 1x, 8x, and 20x your bet for 3, 4, or 5-of-a-kind.
Dragon Eggs
Throughout the base game, 3 types of Dragon Eggs can appear on the reels. When they do, they are collected into their respective Dragon Pot above the reels, for a chance to trigger the following Features:
- Green Dragon Egg: Randomly triggers the Respin Feature, where a new row is added to the matrix, which only Collect or Super Collect Dragon Eggs can land.
- Red Dragon Egg: Randomly triggers the Respin Feature, where a new row of Jackpot Dragon Eggs is added to the matrix: Mini (10x), Minor (20x), Major (100x), Grand (2,000x).
- Blue Dragon Egg: Randomly triggers the Respin Feature, where a new row of Multipliers (x2, x3, and x5) is added to the existing matrix. These Multipliers are applied to each Money symbol value collected.
The Cash Collection function happens at the end of a spin or if the Respin feature is triggered with 1, 2, or all 3 Dragon Features.
3 Magic Eggs: Respins Feature
During the Respins Feature, special Golden Eggs represent Money symbols on the reels, revealing a random value between 0.6x and 50x your bet. At the start of the mode, all paytable symbols disappear, leaving only Money symbols in view.
Each Respins Feature begins with 3 Respins, which reset when a new Money symbol comes in contact with the reels. Each new Money symbol that appears will remain persistent on the reels until the end of the feature.
If the Respins mode was triggered with a Green Dragon Egg, a new row of Collect & Super Collect symbols is present. When a Collect symbol appears, it will collect all available Money symbols directly below it. Alternatively, if a Super Collect symbol is visible, it collects all Money symbols across the reel set.
However, if the Respins mode is triggered by a Red Dragon Egg, a new row of Jackpot Prizes becomes available, where only Mini, Minor, Major, & Grand Jackpots can be won.
- Mini: Requires 3 to award 10x your bet
- Minor: Requires 4 to award 20x your bet
- Major: Requires 5 to award 100x your bet
- Grand: Requires 6 to award 2,000x your bet
Lastly, triggering the Respins feature with the Blue Dragon Egg awards an additional row of Multipliers, with a random value of x2, x3, or x5. When they hit, the corresponding Multiplier is applied to all Money symbols on the reel below it.

Players may purchase any of the following Ante Bet & Bonus Buy options:
- Ante Bet: Doubles your chance of triggering a Respins Feature for 1.6x your bet per spin
- Respins 1: Instantly triggers a random Dragon Feature for 60x your bet

- Respins 4: Direct entry to the Respins mode with all 3 Dragon Features active for 200x your bet

Our Honest Verdict
3 Magic Eggs rocks a classic and slightly old-school aesthetic while maintaining modern visuals and lively soundscapes. From the minute you load into the game, you’re drawn to the 3 adorable Dragons sat patiently above the reels, as a clear representation of the game’s ‘3 Pots’ mechanic.
The base game can feel a little dry at times, with Dragon Eggs acting as the only focus point, but with 3 different Dragon Eggs in play, it rarely takes long to see at least one Dragon Feature spring into action. If you’re fortunate enough, there are opportunities to trigger multiple Dragon Features in the same spin, although this requires a lot more patience and persistence.
Each Dragon Feature leads into its own Respins mode, complete with an added row of Collect, Jackpot, or Multiplier symbols depending on which Dragon is activated. The Jackpot mechanic, in particular, demands a bit more finesse, as landing enough matching Prize symbols within the allocated Respins can be challenging. This is especially true for the Grand Jackpot, which requires 6-of-a-kind to seal the deal.
All in all, 3 Magic Eggs feels like a safe & simple release from Pragmatic Play. It pairs a charming theme & likeable Dragon Features with the proven ‘3 Pots’ mechanic, which adds variety where the base game lacks. The familiar 5,000x max win potential & straightforward structure keep the game firmly in safe territory rather than pushing boundaries.
