Players find themselves in the middle of a forest as the 'Mighty Hat' series is expanded with another release. The regular features are all included within this title, including four different jackpots and a handful of different bonus modes. With that being said, the graphics in Mighty Hat Mystic Tales seem to have had an upgrade when compared to other online slots in the series. Of course, the Mighty Hat also appears in the bottom left of the screen, reacting to any matching combinations that appear.
This slot was produced by Playtech, as are the other games in the 'Mighty Hat' collection. Previous releases include Mighty Hat Mine O'Mine and Mighty Hat Lamp of Gold. Playtech has also created some other unique slots, such as King Blitz and Witches Cash Collect. Like with most of their releases, Mighty Hat Mystic Tales also translates well to mobile devices.
The standard 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A symbols all make a return in Mighty Hat Mystic Tales. Up from here is a book, a selection of mushrooms, a snail, and a gnome. Should five of these icons appear along a payline, players can be awarded with 25x their stake size. The last regular symbol is a fairy that can award up to 50x.
Mighty Hat Mystic Tales also has three special symbols. The first is a scatter icon that can award players with up to 5x. However, unlike other symbols, these do not have to match along a payline and can simply appear in any position. Finally, there are two wild icons, one of which is a normal acorn. The golden acorn also acts like a wild but can trigger one of the bonus modes listed below!
Like with most slots in the 'Mighty Hat' range, this game comes with four different bonus features. All of these bonuses can be triggered if a golden acorn appears on the middle reel, with a random feature being awarded to the player. First up is the respin mode, which triggers one free spin. Some of the reels will be held in place for this spin, with a 1x, 2x, or 3x multiplier being applied to any of the potential winnings.
The next possible bonus is the treasure chest, which can be opened by the player to reveal up to 5 possible prizes. This can include a fixed value, any of the four different jackpots, or either of the two other modes listed below. Speaking of jackpots, there is a mini, minor, major, and grand pool, the value of which are fixed at 20x, 50x, 500x, and 1,000x, respectively.
Free spins can also be awarded to the player if a golden acorn appears on the middle reel. This mode will start with 12 spins, with all standard and special acorn icons locking in place for the duration of the round if they drop into view. In turn, other bonus modes can be triggered as a result.
Finally, there is a 'Mighty Hat' free spins bonus. During this mode, only stones and blank icons can appear. If a stone lands in any position, it will be given a silver border. This can then be upgraded if another stone lands in the same place, from gold and then to red. At the end of the round, silver and gold stones can reveal a fixed value, while positions with red borders can reveal one of the four jackpots. The middle reel will also contain a spot with a golden border, depending on where the special acorn landed. Landing 3 or more stones during the same spin can also award three additional plays.
Like most slots by Pragmatic Play, this one comes loaded with a variety of different features and bonus modes. The visuals are another standout aspect of Mighty Hat Mystic Tales, with animations and sound effects to accompany matching combinations!
