The world of poker has produced many legends in history, but one of the most intriguing is arguably Amarillo Slim. Amarillo Slim was born in December 1928, and until 2012 when he sadly passed on was a major name in the poker industry. He was a professional gambling expert, though it was his ability to land poker wins that made him one of the most famous names in the entire industry. He is a Poker Hall of Fame inductee, arriving in 1992, having won the 1972 World Series of Poker Main Event.

A colourful and bashful character, he started out as a major lover of the Texas Hold ‘em style of cards, and played a role alongside names like Doyle Brunson and Sailor Roberts to bring the card game to the Las Vegas scene. So, if you have ever won big at Texas Hold ‘em in Vegas, you know who to thank!

Slim was a very successful gambler, but the one thing that might make him less famous today is the era he played in. Given that his lifetime tournament earnings reached around $587,000, many modern players might be shocked at the relatively low total. Remember, though, that Slim played mostly in an era where half-a-million was still a lot of money.

While he might not have played in the era where people win millions, Slim was a massive part of the modern growth of the poker industry. Indeed, he was also the host of the 1980 Second Annual Poker Classic, a major event that was a massive part of the industry until 1991.

In his career, Slim won four WSOP bracelets, winning in 1972, 1974, 1985, and 1990. He was also a successful author, including his popular eBook collection and his wonderful, engaging 2003 autobiography. RIP, Slim!

Canada has produced many great names in the sporting world, but they are also a nation known as being a prolific producer of gambling and gaming experts. Indeed, a famous name in the Canadian gaming scene stems from Daniel Negreanu. The gambler, who goes by the name of ‘Kid Poker’, was voted by the Global Poker Index as the best poker player of the decade in 2014.

He’s won a whopping six World Series of Poker bracelets, and also a pair of World Poker Tour titles. He’s a top quality poker player, and has become known for his fearless approach to the game and the challenges that might pop up for him at any of the tables that he plays at.

He was the former WSOP Player of the Year, winning the award twice – the only player to do so in history. He’s also won the Player of the Year in the WPT events, wining in 2005. In fact, he is the first player in history to have made the final table for the three major WSOP events in Las Vegas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific regions.

He’s also the first to win a bracelet in all three, making him one of the true legends of the modern poker game. He was anointed into the Poker Hall of Fame in 2014, and has become a modern icon for players who want to take their game to the next level.

With over $40m in winnings over his career, he’s also someone who has put a lot of time into good causes. He’s a big philanthropist, and has invested and taken part in charity events like Ante Up for Africa in the past, often giving his time and alerting his massive audience to humanitarian causes and events that are worth backing.

The Magician’s Secret is a video slot created by Pragmatic Play that has a spooky magic theme. It has six reels and four rows as well as a maximum number of 4,096 ways to win. For each spin, the player is required to place a wager between 0.1 and 100. At 96.5%, this slot game has a higher return to player (RTP) rate than the average for this type of slot game.

Gameplay And Features

There is a real magician’s touch to this free spins slot. The Chalices, swords, books and shields are the main symbols featured in the game, as well as others that include potions and gems. 

Aside from the special symbols, four playing card suits (clubs, diamonds, spades, and hearts) are also used on the reels. The goal is to match three or more of the same symbols which will then result in a win. Wild and scatter symbols also appear in the slot.

Wild symbols can expand to cover an entire reel when appearing in the base game which can result in some substantial wins. Multipliers are also applied in this case. Free spins will begin when you are lucky enough to land three or more of the scatter symbols. There are also two types of free spins available: sticky wilds and expanding wilds. In both cases, we were able to win some good money.

Final Thoughts

Our favourite part of playing the Magician’s Secrets slot game was playing the bonus game as this was a very entertaining aspect of the slot. The graphics and sound were also of the highest quality, as you would expect from a Pragmatic Play slot game. When entering the free spins session, there were two options available. We were able to achieve good results with both of these free spins.
