Pragmatic Play turns to the dark arts in Wild Spells, the sorcery-themed slot. Contend with these magical ladies and the tools of their craft to win big in base play and gain access to three varieties of free spins, as well as jackpots up to 2500 times the bet size.
Theme
In Wild Spells, an air of the supernatural pervades all. The background music features eerie howls, lots of percussion, and sounds of deep exhalation, conjuring up a sense of otherworldly power. A range of misty, jagged mountains expands behind the reels, adding to the feel of the unreal. Gaming symbols are entirely magical: the three leading ladies, each a different color of caucasian, slim-with-curves woman; a spell book; a magic potion; a lit candle; a glowing crystal ball, acting as scatter; and a black cat familiar, which acts as wild. Tiles with the playing card values ace through nine complete the set of symbols.
Betting Options and Functions
Sticking with what has worked in the past, Pragmatic Play opts for their favorite betting structure in Wild Spells. This means a coin-based slot with fixed paylines (25 of them, in this case), where players can alter bet per line from 1–10 and/or coin value from 0.01–0.50. This yields an overall per spin betting range of 0.25–125.00 times the betting currency.
Autoplay can be set up to 1000 spins. Pop-up menus accessible in the lower left corner of the game screen explain payouts and pay structure, as well as allowing players to toggle game and sound settings. The theoretical return-to-player is an above-average 96.4%.
Features
Players will find themselves spellbound by this slot’s array of bonus features. First of all, and available on every spin, are super stacked jackpot wins: since all high-paying symbols appear stacked at all times, there is always a possibility of three or more reels coming to a stop fully stacked. This is when jackpots are paid out, and handsome ones at that. Three, four, or five stacked reels pay 100 times, 400 times, or a whopping 2500 times the bet size, respectively – at the maximum bet, that’s a monstrous payout of 312,500.00 times the betting currency.
Free spins comprise the rest of the bonus options for this slot, but there’s a twist: after three or more scatter symbols appear on the reels, triggering free spins, players have a choice to make. Three options allow for either five, ten, or 20 free spins, with one, two, or all three of the sorceresses acting as extra wild symbols. Players may have different approaches based on their own preferences, bankrolls, and strategy, so it’s a welcome change of pace to see an element of choice come into slot gaming. Choose wisely, and magical wins might be the reward.
Our Take
Wild Spells is yet another strong offering from Pragmatic Play. Theirs is a design team that values clarity of design and smooth gameplay, while skimping on none of the fun or original features that draw players to online slots in the first place. This enchanting slot is a delightful addition to their catalogue – players may find themselves with a new favorite title.
