Spirited Wonders

Introduction

Spirited Wonders is a November 2021 release from PG SOFT that blends Japanese folklore with a modern 6-reel, 10,000-ways engine. With a disclosed RTP of 96.7%, medium volatility and a headline win potential of 50,000x your bet, the slot positions itself between everyday grinders and high-risk thrill rides. Below I break down what those numbers and features mean in practice, so you can decide whether this title deserves a spot in your session roster.

Theme & Presentation

The reels sit in front of a lantern-lit street during the Obon festival, a fitting backdrop for the game’s cast of yōkai and paper-scroll sorcery. Symbols range from stylised kanji royals to more elaborate spirit icons, all drawn in PG SOFT’s trademark high-contrast, almost comic-book style. Animations are snappy and the sound design relies on taiko drums and bamboo flutes—subtle enough not to fatigue during longer play.

Math Model at a Glance

• RTP: 96.7% (verify in your casino’s paytable; alternative versions may exist)
• Volatility: Medium – expect streaks of smaller cascades with the occasional spike during feature hits.
• Max win: 50,000x stake, theoretically achievable through the multiplier plus 10,000-way set-up.
• Grid: 4-5-5-5-5-4 layout, creating 10,000 fixed ways to win on every spin.

Base-Game Mechanics

Wins pay left to right on adjacent reels, after which the winning symbols disappear and new ones tumble down—a classic cascading sequence that can string several payouts together from a single wager. Every time a cascade lands at least one new win, a global win multiplier increases (exact step values are not specified in the public material, but it does climb progressively). When no further wins land, the multiplier resets for the next paid spin.

Mystery Symbols

A sealed paper talisman can land anywhere. Once the cascade chain pauses, all Mystery symbols on screen reveal the same randomly selected pay symbol. Used well, they can extend a cascade or push small wins into something more meaningful when combined with an active multiplier.

Free Spins Feature

• Trigger: 3 Scatter symbols award 10 free spins. Additional scatters on the triggering spin provide extra spins (provider does not state the exact increment—check the in-game rules).
• Enhanced Multiplier: During free spins, the win multiplier ceiling lifts to up to 15x. This is where the headline 50,000x potential becomes mathematically feasible.
• Retrigger: The provider confirms retriggers are possible if 3+ scatters land again.

The combination of 10,000 ways, Mystery symbol reveals and a higher multiplier cap means bonus rounds can escalate quickly. That said, medium volatility suggests you will see the feature with reasonable frequency, but don’t expect every visit to the round to hit double-digit multipliers.

Mobile & UX Notes

Built in JS/HTML5, Spirited Wonders adapts cleanly to portrait play. Swipe gestures spin the reels on most devices, and key controls collapse into a single thumb zone—useful for one-hand sessions. Autoplay settings include loss and single-win caps, which can help keep impulse chasing in check.

Verdict

Spirited Wonders delivers PG SOFT’s instantly recognisable art direction wrapped around a math model that is a notch steadier than their high-volatility blockbusters. If you enjoy cascade multipliers but prefer smoother bankroll swings, it deserves a look. High-risk hunters, however, may find the medium volatility curve a touch tame despite the headline 50,000x max win.
