"Continuous spin" feature: Is autoplay mode back?

The Interstate Treaty on Gambling (GlüStV) generally prohibits the popular autoplay function. Despite this, the SlotMagie casino has been offering the so-called "continuous spin" feature for a few weeks now, which at first glance appears to enable this prohibited autoplay mode. But how does SlotMagie trick the legal regulations and is it even a fully-fledged autoplay mode?

A so-called "continuous spin" function has only been available in the licensed SlotMagie casino for a few weeks under the title "The Fast Number". A glance at the game explanation quickly gives rise to the suspicion that this is an autoplay mode. The "continuous spin" feature is currently available for the popular Merkur slots Blazing Star Multi, Frutinator Multi and Eye of Horus Multi.

How does the "continuous spin" feature work in the SlotMagie casino?

First of all, the player has to select a game level on the Merkur Multi Slots and then decide how many spins are to be triggered with a certain bet. A stake of just 1 euro is enough to trigger up to 20 spins in total. Once the game has started and the "continuous spin" function has been selected, the subsequent spins start automatically as if by magic. Even if free spins are triggered during the next spins, these are also triggered automatically.

At the end of the feature, i.e. when the previously selected number of spins has been used up, the player can decide whether they want to secure the win or continue playing directly.

But is SlotMagie's newly introduced "continuous spin" feature even compatible with the applicable legal regulations? After all, there is an autospin ban in the GlüStV 2021.

When we reported last June on what is missing most in German online casinos, the lack of an autoplay function was also a recurring topic for players.

Conclusion

Currently, players from Germany can legally use the "continuous spin" function in the SlotMagie online casino and thus imitate the popular autoplay mode of yesteryear. However, it should be noted that the 'continuous spin' feature is currently only available for the three Merkur Multi Slots Blazing Star, Frutinator and Eye of Horus. It will be interesting to see how the Joint Gaming Authority of the federal states (GGL) will react to this indirect undermining of player protection regulations.
