Respins from collected orbs
The Respins Feature starts in the Base Game, where collected BONUS ORB symbols can trigger Respins. This game has no separate Free Spins feature, so Respins are the only extra mode you can reach.

Know how wins form before you commit a bet
Pick Spellmaster if you want a Fantasy and Witchcraft slot on a 5x3 grid. Wins pay left to right from the leftmost reel, with at least 3 matching symbols on adjacent reels. Its symbols are Owl, Spellbook, Magic potion and Wizard's staff, plus the cards A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9. Matches on the 50 fixed paylines pay, and BONUS ORB symbols collected in the base game can trigger Respins.
Choose Spellmaster if you want features on top of a 5x3 reel. The game lists Hold and Spin, Money Collect, Multiplier and Wild among its features. Its two modes are the Base Game, where BONUS ORB symbols you collect can trigger Respins, and the Respins Feature itself. Check the rules of each mode before you set a bet.
Wins you can read
When the first spin lands on the reels
Unsure how one spin turns into money? These steps show it before the first bet.
How high can I go?
Pick a bet from A$0.10 up to A$250 before you spin. All 50 paylines are fixed, so the bet is the one setting you choose.
Where does a win start?
Wins form when matching symbols land on adjacent reels from the leftmost reel. Three of a kind is the fewest that pays.
When a Multiplier lands
The base game lists four features: Wild, Multiplier, Money Collect and Hold and Spin. Read each one on screen as it appears, before you count on any payout.
Spellmaster ORB trigger
Collect BONUS ORB symbols in the base game, because they can trigger the Respins Feature. It is the only bonus mode, and no separate Free Spins feature exists.
Budget before first spin
Set your session budget before the first spin, and decide now when you will stop. Each spin uses the bet you chose, so the total at risk grows with the bet.
Two modes to know

Spellmaster base game on 5 reels

Spellmaster: test rounds or cash bets, your pick
At Slotastic Casino, you choose when real money comes into play, one bet at a time.
Start with the demo to watch rounds without staking money; it pays nothing. Real play needs a Slotastic Casino account and you must be 18 or older.
Play nowBefore the first spin, the bonus stays hidden
Choosing a bet means accepting that the bonus round arrives at no rate you can plan around. How often the Respins come is not known in advance, since they depend on collecting BONUS ORB symbols in the Base Game. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP version in use, so a short session can end far above or below the average.
Checking the RTP before you play means reading the game rules. Which RTP version Slotastic Casino runs is shown only there, so take the rules as the final word on the figure. Read it before the first spin, not after the session ends.
Deciding how much weight to give the top prize starts with reading it as a ceiling. The maximum win of Spellmaster is the highest payout the game can reach, expressed as a multiple of the bet, and it is a ceiling reached very rarely. Set your bet and loss limit before the first spin, not around that top number.

Player questions
Look up the Spellmaster reels before you bet
You will know the bonus price, the top win, and what the RTP means for your money.
Can I try Spellmaster at a low bet before I stake more?
Start at A$0.10 a bet if you want to see how Spellmaster plays before you stake more. The 5x3 grid and 50 fixed paylines are part of the game, so a low stake shows how the reels run.
Can I buy Respins on Spellmaster and what does it cost?
Buy Respins only if the price fits your budget, because it costs A$250 at the A$5 example bet, which is 50 times the bet. In the base game, collected BONUS ORB symbols can also trigger Respins.
What is the RTP of Spellmaster and does it have versions?
Pick Spellmaster knowing its RTP is 96.50%, the only version listed. RTP is the average return over a very large number of spins, so it cannot tell you what one session will pay.
How big is the maximum win on Spellmaster?
Treat the top win as a ceiling, not a target. The top win is 40,000 times the bet. At the A$5 example bet that is A$200,000, and at the A$250 maximum bet it is A$10,000,000. No one can know in advance whether a session reaches it.
When is it time to stop playing?
Spellmaster is for players aged 18+. For help, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858. You can self-exclude through BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Pocket money for the reels
Decide how much you can afford to lose on Spellmaster before the first spin, and keep that amount separate from money for bills.
A fixed exit point
Pick your stopping point before the first spin, and keep it after a big win too, because a win can tempt you to bet more.
Spellmaster limits in your account
Set a deposit limit and a loss limit in your account before you open Spellmaster, and check them when you return.
Breaks and self-exclusion options
If Spellmaster stops being fun, or you chase losses, take a break or self-exclude through BetStop before the next bet.
