Madame of Mystic Manor

Blueprint Gaming sets the scene for Madame of Mystic Manor around a reclusive fortune teller whose manor holds wilds that keep returning across spins. The main game runs in a sepia-toned, storybook palette beneath a manor silhouetted against a cloud-heavy sky, and the colour scheme shifts to purple once free spins begin and to blue during the super free spins round, giving each phase of play its own distinct mood. There's a faint gothic, otherworldly undertone to the artwork without it tipping into full horror.

Play unfolds across a 5-reel, 4-row grid with 30 paylines, and betting runs from 0.30 to 45 per spin. Jack through Ace card ranks make up the low-value symbols, paying 1x to roughly 1.67x the stake for five in a row, with books, crystal balls, hourglasses and candles forming the premium tier, worth around 3.33x up to 15x for a five-symbol line. A wild appears on every reel except the far right, substitutes for any regular symbol, and can even complete its own winning line of three or four, valued the same as the book symbol.

The Hot Zones and Returning Wilds mechanic ties the whole game together. Any wild that lands marks its position as a Hot Zone, starting at level 1; a second wild landing in an existing zone bumps its level up by one, and these zones carry over between spins, including into free spins if a round triggers. Landing an Oracle symbol, found only on the rightmost reel, fires Returning Wilds: every symbol sitting inside a Hot Zone turns into a wild carrying a multiplier equal to that zone's level, and when a winning line crosses more than one of these wild multipliers, their values are added together rather than multiplied. If Hot Zones, an Oracle and three scatters all land on the same base-game spin, Returning Wilds is bypassed in favour of Super Free Spins instead, with the active Hot Zones converted into sticky wilds that carry their multiplier levels into the round.

Three scatter symbols landing on reels two, three and four award 7 free spins, during which an Oracle adds an extra spin and any Hot Zones present clear once the round ends. Reaching three scatters together with an Oracle on the same spin instead awards 7 super free spins: here, wilds stay locked in place for the whole round, an Oracle grants both an extra spin and a permanent +1 to every sticky wild's multiplier, and crossed wild multipliers on one line are again summed.

Both bonus rounds can be bought outright: 50x the stake for the standard free spins, priced at a 96.22% RTP, or 130x for the super free spins version at 96.62% RTP, both above the base game's 96.25%. Blueprint Gaming has pitched the volatility between medium and high, with the 5,000x cap reachable mainly through stacking multiplier levels in the Hot Zones ahead of a trigger rather than through base-game wins alone.
