Magnet Mania Slot Review
A chrome logo sits on a mountain of gold coins against a molten orange backdrop, two magnet bars crossed behind it like heraldry, the whole reel frame ringed with fairground bulbs. Strip that away and the fruit symbols underneath are close to worthless on their own; BF Games have built a retro slot where the classic pays are decoration and every win of consequence arrives by magnet, swept up rather than lined up.
It’s a 5×3 grid with 243 ways to win, medium volatility and a 28% hit rate, with bets from 0.2 to 200 per spin. Coins and Collector symbols sweep cash towards each other, the ladder tops out at a 1,000x Grand, and it sits in the same family as Honey Beast and Juicy Booster. The bulbs are on.
Base Game & Features
The base game is classic fruit machine territory with a magnetic overlay. Cherries and bells sit alongside gold bars and BAR symbols, and wins pay across 243 ways, so any matching symbols on consecutive reels from the left count regardless of position. It’s a forgiving structure, and one that pays from as little as two matching symbols on the first two reels.
The 28% hit rate backs that up: roughly three spins in ten connect with something. Most of those connections are small, because the table pays are modest by design. Every value is a multiple of the total bet:
- Gold Bars – 1x for two, 1.5x for three, 2x for four, 4x for five
- Bell and pink BAR – 0.5x for two, 1x for three, 1.5x for four, 3x for five
- Green BAR and blue BAR – 0.2x for two, 0.8x for three, 1.2x for four, 2.5x for five
Those are table pays only. The fruit symbols exist to keep the balance ticking over, and even the best line in the game won’t move a session on its own. Everything above that comes from the magnetic side of the game.
The Wild is a 7 WILD symbol that appears across the middle reels and substitutes for the paying symbols to complete winning combinations.
Coins and Collectors
Two symbol families do the real work. Coins carry cash values from 0.5x up to 10x the bet, and Collector symbols land on the first and fifth reels only. When a Collector arrives, it acts like a magnet, gathering every Coin and Reward on the reels and adding their values to the spin win.
Because the outer reels carry the Collectors, the middle three are free to fill with value. A single Coin on its own pays nothing; it needs a Collector on the same spin to be worth anything at all. The whole base game is built around that pairing.
The Reward Ladder
Rewards are the ladder prizes, and they step up steeply. Each one is a fixed multiple of the bet:
- Mini – 20x the bet
- Minor – 50x the bet
- Major – 150x the bet
- Grand – 1,000x the bet
The steps aren’t even. Mini to Minor doubles, Minor to Major triples, and Major to Grand is close to a sevenfold jump, so the top of the ladder is doing almost all of the work.
That’s the base game’s best case: a screen of Coins and Rewards meeting two Collectors at once.
The Major coin that appears on the reels belongs to this ladder, and it’s swept like any other Reward. There’s no separate jackpot bonus to reach; the ladder simply rides on the same Collectors as everything else.
Magnet Mania Magnet Spins and Bonus Features
Landing three Scatter symbols triggers Magnet Spins. The octagonal Scatter can appear anywhere on the grid, and the round awards 2, 3, 5 or 7 spins at random, so the same trigger can pay out very differently on two occasions.
The feature strips the reels down to what matters. Only Collectors, Coins and Rewards appear during Magnet Spins, and at least one Collector is guaranteed on every spin. The fruit symbols, the wilds and the ways-pays all disappear.
Each spin sweeps whatever lands, and anything a spin gathers is banked before the next one arrives, so a seven-spin round is seven guaranteed sweeps of the board. What varies is the value on the reels, not the mechanism.
A seven-spin run with Rewards stacked across the middle can climb the ladder quickly; a two-spin run with a handful of low Coins ends almost before it starts. The random spin count is what separates a memorable round from a forgettable one.
Extra Chance
Extra Chance is a standing side bet that doubles the chance of triggering Magnet Spins for an additional 25% of your stake. Switch it on and a 0.2 spin costs 0.25. It’s a straightforward price for a doubled trigger rate, and it applies to every spin rather than being bought when you fancy it.
Buy Feature
Alternatively, the Buy Feature skips the waiting entirely and jumps straight into Magnet Spins. The purchase price is set against your current stake, so the cost scales with the bet you’re running.
Between the buy, Extra Chance and the natural trigger, there are three routes into the feature, which is more than most retro-styled slots offer. All three land in the same place: a random spin count and a guaranteed Collector, with the ladder waiting to be swept.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.1/10
Playing Magnet Mania is mostly waiting for something to stick to the magnet. The fruit reels tick over, the hit rate keeps you fed in crumbs, and the reason you’d pick this over any other retro slot is the sweep: a screen full of Coins and Rewards suddenly dragged into one payout, with the fairground bulbs flashing over the top of it. That moment is the game.
The ladder is what makes it work. A 1,000x Grand that has to be collected rather than lined up is a genuinely tense structure, because it can only arrive attached to a Collector.
The flaw is the trigger. The feature can award as few as two spins, so the round you waited for can be over in seconds and pay barely anything. For the patient, there’s a 1,000x waiting at the top of the coin pile. Anyone here for the fruit machine itself will find the fruit pays for the magnets, not for itself.
