Pros

• The mystery box respin offers the potential for big wins
• The free spins allows for respins to be earned during the free spins

Gameplay, Playability and Volatility

The Great Albini offers very traditional video slot gameplay. The base game does include some features and the free spins mode also includes an extra feature to add to the game on the whole.

Mystery box respins

When a full stack of mystery boxes land on the middle reel the mystery box respins feature will trigger. This instantly awards 3 respins. The mystery boxes remain sticky throughout the respins and any new mystery boxes that land on the reels will also remain sticky, as well as resetting the respin counter. Once the counter runs out the respins are finished.

Free Spins

There are two ways to trigger the free spins in The Great Albini. The first way is by landing the free spins symbol on the reels. It is a 3x3 box that will instantly trigger 12 free spins. The second way is by paying either 100, 125 or 150 times your stake for either 8, 10 or 12 free spins respectively. During the free spins mode the Great Albini will randomly perform a trick which will send his assistant onto the reels as a sticky stacked wild that will also add a 2 times multiplier to all wins. The assistant sticky wild will remain in place for a random number of free respins that will not use up your free spins.

Volatility

The Great Albini has a very high volatility. It can be a very long wait in between wins, this means that it can require high quality bankroll management in order to play the game in the long term. It does offer high payouts to go with the high volatility though.

RTP, Wagers and payouts

The Great Albini has an RTP of 96.60% which is slightly above the market average.

A maximum wager of $50 means that high bankroll players will be comfortable settling in for long lasting games. A minimum wager of $0.25 also gives low bankroll players a similar opportunity. The maximum win of 4,000 times your stake means that players will be able to play for a possible prize of $200,000, which is quite a large win.

The Great Albini: Overall

On the whole the high volatility of The Great Albini can make it a slightly frustrating experience. However, this soon changes when the free spins mode and mystery box respins kick in. Relatively large wins can soon replenish your bankroll which is where the long term engagement really kicks in. If you are a patient person then The Great Albini is an excellent experience. 3.6/5

Theme and basic information

The Great Albini gives us a magician theme, it’s not quite magical though it aspires to be. Think late 19th, early 20th century, big stage, an illusionist holding everyone’s attention and a beautiful assistant who helps with the most important tricks. That’s The Great Albini. The magician himself is standing to our left, keeping a close watch on the reels and spinning his staff every once in a while.

The slot looks good. The 3D graphics are well done, though not excellent. Indeed, we’re inclined to say that a little less would have been better here, because the graphics look too ambitious to really work, especially on the small screen. The stage looks great and the floating symbols are well done and detailed, but either you need an exceptionally high resolution on your screen, or the details really do become as pixelated as they appeared on our screen.

The background music fits in well, however, giving us a bit of a magic touch here.

Albini himself is the most valuable symbol, paying out 1,000 coins for a 5-of-a-kind win. Lily pays out 500 coins for such a winning combination. The canary, the knives and the lucky cups pay out 300, 200 and 100 coins, respectively. In addition, you’ll get the card royals from 10 to Ace.

You can play this game from €0.25 to €50, making this a medium-range slot, not quite suitable for high rollers.

Mystery Boxes in the base game

The Great Albini Slot Machine

Whenever the Great Albini spins his magician’s staff around, a bonus feature might be added to the base game. A stack of mystery boxes will need to land on the middle reel, covering it entirely. That’s when the Mystery Box Re-spins begin. The mystery boxes are locked in place and during 3 free re-spins, more might be added to the reels. Indeed, nothing but the mystery boxes spin on the reels. Whenever another mystery box lands on the reels, your re-spins will reset to 3. This continues until either no further mystery boxes appear during the next 3 re-spins, or until the reels are filled with nothing but mystery boxes.

Once the re-spins stop, Albini will reveal one random symbol behind all boxes and any wins are paid out according to paylines.

Every so often, Albini might swing his staff and a massive free spin symbol might appear on the reels. If it lands on the reels, it will trigger the free spins. Usually, however, you only see it spin past without it landing.

Lily rules the free spins

You will need three scatters on the three middle reels to activate the free spins. Alternatively, however, you can also buy your way into the free spins.

• 8 free spins are available for 100x your stake
• 10 free spins are available for 125x your stake
• 12 free spins are available for 150x your stake

If you land the free spins with three scatters, you’ll receive 12 free spins right away.

During the free spins, the reels expand to cover 6 rows, giving us 50 paylines. Lily is the main attraction here. If she lands on either of the 3 middle reels, she will expand to cover the whole reel, turn wild and add a 2x multiplier to all wins. You will get a free re-spin to get you started. If you land a winning combination on the free re-spin, you’ll receive another free re-spin. Indeed, as long as you keep getting consecutive wins, free re-spins will be added, and Lily remains locked in place. Once you don’t get any more wins, Lily is removed from the reels once more and the regular free spins continue.

This may happen several times during the free spins, which usually means you’ll play a lot more spins than the initial number you’re getting (whether bought or triggered via scatters).

We’ve experienced wins that were good enough to make it worthwhile to buy the free spins. But there’s no guarantee that it works.

Conclusion: Ambitious slot that almost succeeds

The Great Albini Slot Machine Wins

The theoretical RTP (Return to Player) of The Great Albini is 96.66%, which is excellent value. This is indeed much higher than we get with most Microgaming slots and it makes this a worthwhile game to try out.

The Great Albini Slot Wins

Visually, we consider the game a little too ambitious because it doesn’t quite manage to deliver. The gameplay is well done, however. The Mystery Box Re-spins hit often enough to keep the base game interesting and having the option of buying your way into the free spins can be a worthwhile consideration as well. But you need to be lucky for it to work out. We had fun playing The Great Albini, but eventually it was just not that great to keep looking at it and so we moved on to other games with better graphics.
