Crystal Mirror makes symmetry part of the result: each outer reel pair mirrors the same symbols, so the six-reel display is built from three linked positions rather than six independent columns. A 1×4 Super Wild can substitute for paying symbols, and a partial landing may be nudged into full height. Free Spins intensify that rule by completing every partial Super Wild and locking fully visible ones for the round. For this review’s figures, the RTP and payout ceiling refer only to YesPlay’s published South African ZAR rules; other operators may use different settings.

Three mirrored pairs, six reels
The six-reel, four-row layout has 20 paylines. Reels one and six show the same symbols, as do reels two and five and reels three and four. Reading one side therefore tells you something concrete about the other. This creates a recognisable pattern across the board, although wins are still assessed along paylines rather than by counting all matching positions. The symmetry is part of the reel rules, not simply an effect in the artwork.
The Super Wild occupies a 1×4 block and substitutes for all paying symbols. A partly visible Super Wild may be randomly nudged until the full symbol covers the reel. That makes the stopping position important: outside Free Spins, a partial appearance is eligible for a nudge, but completion is not automatic. The feature can turn a clipped symbol into full-column coverage without changing the game’s line-based payout system.
Free Spins complete the Wild
Four Free Spins symbols award ten spins; six award 15. During the bonus, all partly visible Super Wilds are nudged into full view. Fully visible Super Wilds lock for the duration of the round, so a completed symbol becomes a lasting substitute. The bonus changes both parts of the base-game rule: it makes the partial-symbol nudge certain and preserves the resulting full-height Wild coverage.
The difference is visible from spin to spin. An ordinary nudge resolves one landing, whereas a locked bonus Wild remains part of later reel results. With mirrored pairs shaping the layout, persistent full columns give the player another clear pattern to track. The attraction is the development of coverage across the round, rather than a multiplier ladder or a separate prize-collection game.
YesPlay figures and verdict
YesPlay’s published South African ZAR rules list approximately 95.77% RTP and a maximum multiplier of 5,240x for this configuration. The R2m, R5m and R10m payout columns list maximum stakes of R300, R500 and R1,000 and cash wins of R1,572,000, R2,620,000 and R5,240,000 respectively. Red Tiger’s official listing also reports 95.77% RTP, while Evolution’s listing reports 94.76%. The listings do not explain the difference. Red Tiger reports a volatility index of 17.67, a numeric provider index rather than a verbal category. That index is separate from the YesPlay table and is not claimed as an operator-specific value.
Crystal Mirror keeps its feature set focused on shape and position. Players who enjoy symmetrical boards and lasting bonus symbols have a consistent idea to follow. The main compromise comes in ordinary play, where a partial Super Wild may remain incomplete because its nudge is random. The bonus offers a firmer version of that same mechanic.
Stolen Treasures — Both games give special symbols effects that persist or change position, but Crystal Mirror’s Super Wild is a full-reel substitute while Stolen Treasures’ boxes carry cash values and respin behavior.
Strengths and weak points
Strengths
Mirrored reel pairs give the board a recognizable structure, while Free Spins turn partial Super Wilds into full locked substitutes for a clearly defined bonus state.
Weaknesses
A partial Super Wild is only eligible for a random nudge in ordinary play, so full-reel coverage is less dependable there than during Free Spins.
Our Editor’s View
Crystal Mirror makes paired reels and full-height substitutes work toward one coherent design. Free Spins are the meaningful change: partial Super Wilds complete and full ones remain locked, making coverage persist across the round. This suits players who enjoy watching a structured board develop. Its limitation is the less dependable base-game nudge, while the mirrored layout still leaves line formation central to each result.
