Witch Doctor Goes Wild is a cascade slot, meaning that new blocks drop to replace those that have scored a winning combination.
This is tied to wilds and bonus games, as each consecutive win comes with an EXTRA prize.
The style is something that you would expect from a mobile game or a casual video game. The animations make it work just fine.
The combination of consecutive wins and special features means that this is one of those games that build up the wins gradually. Yet…
…there are wins to be had across the forty pay-lines too. This CORE Gaming release is quite a surprising slot full of action.
Theme
The cascading reels play into the theme. The Witch Doctor does his dances as the wins land on the reels and then fires up new symbols through some arcane magic.
The sound effects support this, making it quite easy to get in the mood for spins. The graphics aren’t of the latest fashion, instead capturing opting for their own style.
There’s no clear theme beyond the doctor and the wilds, but that doesn’t really matter.
Betting Options and Functions
The forty pay-lines would be hard to fit on just five reels, which explains why the play area has been expanded to six reels with four symbols each. This works quite well with the low overall betting structure and low payouts. Three symbols minimum are needed for a combination to fire up.
As a cascading game, this slot is all about streaks of luck. High volatility is to be expected, spin after spin will go without wins or just a single combination.
This will be counterbalanced by the rare explosion of symbols, where one combination drops to connect another one, and so on. The RTP could be a tad bit higher, but it’s still within acceptable limits.
Features
The special features start with cascading wins. For each consecutive one you advance on the witch doctor’s trail. Each step comes with different bonuses, and the final step will award you with eight bonus games. Each win during these spins will award an extra spin.
But what about the Wilds? Well, there are different ones for the free spins. These can be singular:
- Mega-sized
- Full reel-sized
- Multiple random wilds and…
…if you combined this with the wilds from the bonus trail, the screen will fill up pretty quick.
HOW to get the BIG wins then?
Well, once you get to the last step you will get an INSTANT MULTIPLIER of 30. Each consecutive continuing win will add a MULTIPLIER of 20 to that. Score enough of these…
…and any win will be in the thousands!
Our Take
This is a wildly surprising game from CORE Gaming. The pay-table and features offer…
…a perfect combination for those who are looking for a high volatility slot full of action!
The graphical style is likewise fitting for the fast spin, and its simplicity allows everything to be animated. Give it a go in demo mode here!
