Mata Hari the Spy Seduces the Reels with Redrake Gaming

Margaret Macleod, known by her stage name, “Mata Hari”, was a Dutch exotic dancer and courtesan who was used as a spy by the French during World War One. She was however convicted as a double agent for the Germans and executed by firing squad in France. 

This slot tells the tale of this seductress and her many lovers in bright visuals and engaging sounds.  

There are several features added to the game that allow for wins of up to 100x total stake per line (8,000x line bet). 

 Sights of Seduction 

For some reason, the chosen setting for this season of Mata Hari’s life takes on an Indian tale. It is well known that she posed for risque photos (for the era) in traditional golden Hindi garb that left very little detail for the imagination.  

The slot feels like a Bollywood film and even the reel rolls bring alive a Bollywood musical vibe to the screen. The graphics are well embellished, with much detail ascribed to each visual piece. 

The larger than life reel set is situated in the halls of an Asian temple in a forested area. Stop rolling for long enough to hear the sounds of nature. The reels hold your winning ways, which are made up of various game symbols. These include thematic icons, such as Mata Hari, herself, three of her lovers, a cobra, a golden headdress, and a Hindi Ornament. The lower pays are ornate looking card deck symbols (Jack to Ace). 

The Wild symbol is an icon substitute that will combine with all other standard symbols to create wins, except with the Ruby Scatter and Roulette Wheel bonus symbol. 

 Spy Life Action on the Reels 

Mata Hari: The Spy, is a 6 reels game, holding 6 rows of icons per reel. The size of the grid enables the game to line up a whopping 80 fixed paylines onto the screen. These can be played for a total bet of between €0.16 and €60 per spin. 

Wins are made when landing three to six of the same symbol over a single payline, starting from the leftmost reel to the right, unless you are landing scatters, which in this case landing between 3 and 8 anywhere, will reward you up to 50x your stake. All wins are paid in accordance with the paytable. 

As Mata Hari’s life was filled with action and intrigue, so is this game. Redrake have added some fine feature fun to the rollers for us all to enjoy. 

✓ Raining Veils 

Veils may fall randomly over some of the reels during a random spin in the game, increasing the multiplier on the symbols which it covers by 4x in the base game and 2x in the free spin round. 

✓ The Spy’s Roulette 

For some wheel spin action, merely land 4 roulette wheels on the reels. Spin a dual-layered wheel to win cash prizes accompanied by multipliers. Apply the amount and the multiplier together and you have your bonus win calculation. 

✓ Mata Hari’s Eyes 

Mata Hari’s eyes may randomly appear over the reels and cast their gaze over a selection of icons (2x2 or 3x3). All symbols beamed by her light will become Wild for better winning opportunity on that spin. 

✓ Mata Hari takes you for a Spin 

If you are lucky enough to land Mata Hari in stacks of two covering the middle rows along with any other reels, you will trigger a free spin bonus round, where the number of triggering symbols (1 to 6) will dictate how many free spins you are awarded. You can win between 4 and a massive 144 free spins on a single trigger of the feature. 

 Excellent Execution 

While Mata Hari’s fate was unfortunate, yours may not be. Although the RTP could be a bit higher, the medium game variance helps provide a mixed bag of wins, ranging from very small to rewards on the large side, too. If World War One history or tales of espionage intrigue you, then a few spins of this slot should be on the cards for you.
