If the important number of slot machines which are developed by Netent on some fantasy theme or other is any indication, I am starting to think that this developer has a crush on this genre. After, for example, Blood Suckers, Devil Delight, Voodoo Vibes or even Tales of Krakow, it has now edited Wild Witches. In this game, you will be introduced to very sexy witches. The symbols depict a rat, a toad, a mandrake root, an old spellbook, a cauldron or even different sorceresses. They all have an alluring pose and their drawing is reminiscent of the famous pin-up girls of the 1940s or 1950s. However, do not think that this slot machine is sleazy in any way, since its graphics will remind you a lot of Scooby Doo with their naivety and childishness, or even Hocus Pocus, the Disney movie with Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker, with its witches, obviously.

A coherent and endearing world beyond fantasy

With its 2D graphics, Wild Witches does not compare well with Enchanted, The Betsoft hit which shares a similar theme. Nevertheless, this game reminds us straightaway of the cruel realities of the market of online casino games. Sadly, all slot machines cannot be exceptional and offer us 3D graphics. In spite of this small disappointment, it must be conceded that this game is visually quite attractive. Its drawings are pleasant and they create a coherent and endearing world. Its atmosphere is therefore well-crafted, even more so with the soundtrack which does the trick. With its strange sound effects and its ominous bird screeches, it will plunge you easily into the depth of the realm of fantasy.

Simple but efficient game dynamics

With its 5 reels and 29 payment lines, the Wild Witches video slot machine offers classical features, but good enough features to play it over and over again. For one thing, as far as special symbols go, you can count on two wild and a scatter symbol. This video slot machine also offers you to win free spins.

Its combinations are meant to be read from left to right in a consecutive order. Only the highest sum won on a single activated payment line pays out. On the other hand, gains won on different activated payment line add up.

From 0,01 $/€/£ to 80 $/€/£ per spin

During the betting phase, you can choose to bet from 1 to 4 coins per line. you can also choose the value of the currencies. Several values are proposed: 0,01, 0,02, 0,05, 0,10, 0,20, 0,50 and 1 $/€/£. The range of the sums you can bet is therefore quite wide since conservative players can limit their bets to only 0,01 $/€/£ and high rollers can bet up to 80 $/€/£ per spin.

A spellbook as a Wild symbol

The wild symbol is depicted by a spellbook. It can replace itself by any other item in order to form a winning combination. It cannot, however, replace a Scatter symbol. When it allows you to get a winning combination, it doubles your gains. If you manage to make it appear 2, 3, 4 or 5 timeson a single payment line, it will make you win respectively 10, 250, 2.500 or 10.000 coins.

The Witchy Wild

On the third reel, the Spellbook symbol is golden. It prroves itself to be slightly different from the others and is called Witchy Wild. Actually, when it replaces another item, the combination which it allows you to form then makes you win four times more money than ordinary, instead of the simple x2 bonus which comes with a classical Wild symbol.

A cauldron as a Scatter symbol

The scatter symbol is represented by a cauldron. In order for you to win money, it does not need to appear on an activated payment line. Therefore, if you manage to get it 2, 3, 4 or 5 times anywhere on your screen, you will win respectively 2, 5, 25 or 500 coins. Also, with three scatters or more, you will also win free spins.

Re-triggerable free spins

In Wild Witches, you have the possibility to win 10, 20 or 30 free spins. In order to win them, you only have to get respectively 3, 4 or 5 cauldron symbols anywhere on the reels. During these free spins, all paying combinations will pay out three times as much as during the ordinary game. Also, if you manage to get 3 or more scatters on your screen during these spins, you will get extra free spins. These spins are thus re-triggerable.

A well-designed atmosphere and some classical but always pleasant features, nothing else is needed to say that Wild Witches is a great success, which allows Netent to revisit a new side of fantasy, a genre that it seems to like particularly.
