Witch's Brew Slots

You can see that this is going to be a fun one while the game is still loading. The name gives away the theme, but this game is just as much about wizards and potions as it is about black cats and broomsticks. A theme like this could easily carry the game, but Witch’s Brew doesn’t mail this one in. In fact, this game may become one of your favorites in Autumn and beyond.

Everything You Can Fit In a Cauldron

The most disappointing aspect of this whole game is the lack of detail in the background. For the most part, it is a brick dungeon with a few candles on each side. It would have been cool if the developers had put a little animation into the lights, at least to enhance the experience. Behind the reels, you can see a faint image of a witch’s cauldron, which is cool, but it could use some bubbles or something to make it a bit more eye-catching.

The best part about this game is that they don’t fill the symbols with a bunch of fluff. There are many unique symbols and not a single playing card number, letter, or suit in sight. Instead, you get all thematic symbols that are a lot of fun to look at. There are all kinds of things to feast your eyes on, like spell books, jars of eyeballs, black cats, candles, toads, cauldrons, wizards, and more. All of these symbols are eye-catching, but having this many also adds to the game's volatility. Despite the lack of animation in the background, a few of these symbols have special effects when they are part of a winning line.

There is a very bewitching song that plays throughout the beginning of the game, but something magical happens when you play the game itself. The music cuts off and only plays when you are spinning. So, while this is the same repetitive theme music you get in most games with only a handful of notes on loop, it doesn’t seem as annoying because it is chopped up. However, the abrupt start and stop of the music may annoy some players. There are also a few short tunes and standard slot noises to indicate wins, bonus features, and normal slot functions, like the reel sticking when they land.

These Special Features Will Cast a Spell on You

This game puts a lot of emphasis on the wild symbols, so much so that there are two of them. Both the witch symbol and the dragon fang symbol are high-powered wilds you can hit every spin. They can replace any symbol in the game but only appear on the middle three reels. If you land three wild symbols anywhere on the screen in a single spin, it unlocks the Wild Brew feature, which awards you up to ten free spins.

The other symbol to take note of is the vile of goblin blood, which doubles as the scatter symbol. When you hit three or more of these symbols in a single spin, it unlocks free spins. Three will get you ten free spins, and you can earn up to 125 free spins if you land five scatter symbols in a single spin. If you are lucky enough to hit a wild with the scatter symbols, every win you get during your free spins will get a two-time multiplier. So, one can imagine how lucrative this game can be if you win 125 free spins at twice your stake.

Double, Double, Toil and Trouble

The bottom line is that this is an amazingly fun game for every month of the year, but it is especially fun in October. The symbols are detailed and colorful, and some animation is used to make them attention-grabbing. The features are simple but still exciting, and the idea of catching the elusive wild and scatter combination is enough to make this game enticing to anyone. Sure, this isn’t the most perfect slot game, but the combination of a fun theme and decent features makes it great. If you give this slot a try, you’ll likely find that you like it more than you thought you would.
