The main gameplay is based on a 5×3 format with 10 paylines. It features cumulative Money symbols and a direct Free Spins purchase option. During these free spins, progressive multipliers and the Collect function with Wild symbols allow players to unlock additional spins and boost their chances of winning as the game progresses.

With a clear focus on innovation, Magic Stones positions itself as a key title in MGA Games’ expansion strategy. Its release represents a unique opportunity for operators looking to diversify their portfolios and offer players a distinctive, memorable, and highly profitable experience.
