Mystery Mice – Base Game
Base Game & Features
Mystery Mice is a 6-reel, 6-row Cluster Pays slot, playable from £.€0.20 per spin, up to a maximum bet size of £.€240 per spin.
Wins are calculated when 5-36 identical symbols land Horizontally or Vertically adjacent to each other. All winning symbols are removed from the grid.
This creates additional space for new symbols to drop in from above, via a Cascade Feature. The paytable contains 8 symbols, with the highest-paying producing wins of 150x your bet for a winning cluster between 15 and 36.
Mystery Mice has a theoretical RTP of 96.49%, a High Volatility rating, and a standard max win cap of 5,000x your bet. Lower RTP modules include 95.55% and 94.48%.
Power Wilds
When a special Poster Wild comes into view, it appears with a random number between 1 and 10. Wilds substitute for all symbols except Scatters.
Each time a Wild is part of a winning cluster, its number will decrease by 1. So long as a Wild displays a number, it is unable to leave the grid between Cascades. Instead, it will drop to the bottom of the reel. Wilds leave the grid once they reach 1 and are part of a final winning cluster.
Bonus Buy
Players can choose to purchase Free Spins via the Bonus Buy option. This will cost an additional 100x their current bet. Once active, 3, 4, or 5 Scatters will appear in view.
Free Spins
Landing 3 or more Scatters in the base game awards the Free Spins round, triggering 8 Free Spins and a payout of 1x your bet per Scatter.
During Free Spins, Power Wilds remain in view until they are used as part of a win, and their counter reaches 1. In addition, a special Power Up symbol can appear. This symbol will add 1, 2, or 3 to each Wild symbol present.
Landing 2 Scatters will award an additional +3 Free Spins.

Conclusion
If there’s a particular area in which Pragmatic Play excels, it’s Cluster Pays titles. Hot Pepper, Fire Portals, and Cyclops Smash are stand-out titles from Pragmatic Play due to their unique features and mechanics, but did Mystery Mice keep the momentum going?
In the base game, Power Wilds play an important part in creating or enhancing winning clusters in a single spin, and they’re not shy. During testing, we found Power Wilds to appear frequently, although they seemed to socially distance themselves from one another. However, when a group of Power Wilds come together whilst displaying a high number, wins are pretty much guaranteed.
Although a Cluster Pays title, triggering Free Spins only requires 3 Scatters to land in the base game, awarding 8 Free Spins as standard. However, landing 4 or 5 Scatters does not award additional Free Spins, but rather a payout of 1x your bet per Scatter.
We found this out the hard way when we were lucky enough to land 5 Scatters during testing. Our excitement soon turned into disappointment when the round began with no additional spins or guaranteed Power Wilds, ending as quickly as it began before we had time to process.
Keeping Power Wilds in the Free Spins round was a good call from Pragmatic Play, but one could argue that they could’ve enhanced this feature in some way or another. That being said, Pragmatic Play has included an interesting Power-Up symbol which adds up to 3 lives, if you will, to all present Power Wilds in view.
