Wild Cauldron from Quickspin Coming Soon to iGaming Shops

The growing arsenal of Quickspin’s unique slot games will be expanded in February with Wild Cauldron, a magical release with avalanche mechanics, playful monsters, potions and high volatility. In relation to features, the provider’s latest offering boasts locked symbols, expanding reels, a multiplier and a complimentary spins round.

There is also an entirely unique component to this game, as its traditional avalanche mechanics blow out only the non-winning symbols and keep the winning images on reels until the end of the round.

Step into the Witch’s Lair

The developer’s most recent addition to its portfolio, Wild Cauldron, comes with a layout of five reels and four rows, including 4,096 paylines, which can expand all the way up to 8x6 with 262,144 betways! This functionality enables wins of 21,000 times the total stake, diversifying the universe of exciting game mechanics beyond any measure!

Travis Grabau, producer at Quickspin, revealed the story behind development and said:

“We wanted to create a game for the kind of players who are well acquainted with tumbling reel mechanics. And we also wanted to combine these game mechanics with something fun and colourful.

So, we came up with the idea to use a witch’s ‘workshop’ for the theme, a warm and inviting place filled with magic. The symbols consist of playful – and slightly mischievous – ‘squishy’ monsters, magic spells, and different kinds of artefacts.”

In terms of art and graphics style, the studio wanted to go entirely mythical and represent the beauty of cozy cottages, warm lightning, wonky walls and cozy ambiance. As stated by Grabau, the team has managed to capture very entertaining game mechanics like in recent products and combine them with elements of fun, leisure and potentially really big wins.

Get to Know the Game

To be able to trigger as many winning combinations as possible, it is important to get acquainted with Wild Cauldron’s features, including Locking Symbol Tumble, expanding ways, extra spins and win multipliers. During the first feature, all winning combos are locked and accumulated at the bottom of the reels. This round enables each win to increase the number of paylines, extending them all the way to 262,144.

Next, every tumble that provides a winning combination will also increase the number of betways and add a single row of symbols with a maximum total of 8 rows. The game’s grid will also extend and continue in an 8x6 configuration for maximum performance.

By landing four or more Bonus Scatter icons on the reels, players may trigger mini games, counting up to 12 rotations, which is the maximum number of spins.

Inside this level, two additional scatters can provide two more rounds, while the expanded ways and win multipliers persist for the entire duration of this stage.

Ultimately, there is a Wild symbol in this game that can appear during each tumble sequence and increase the Win Multiplier by one. However, this booster can go as high as 7x for a single spin.

“When it came to the art style, we wanted it to be quite stylized. We gathered our visual inspiration from pictures of cosy cottages, warm lighting, wonky walls, and an overall cosy ambiance. The mood board looked a lot like the ‘Lord of the Rings’ films, and the end result really reflects this,” concludes Travis Grabau, producer.
