Wild Wizards Slot Machine Review
Having seen the title of the slot, the first thing I did was to check that the slot featured wizards and that the wizard symbol was actually wild – and I am glad to say that I wasn’t let down! This slot features an elderly wizard, complete with long white beard and a pointy hat, which makes a change to the Harry Potter style wizards found at many slots of a similar genre. Here you’ll also find an owl, a bespectacled cat, a fun little dragon and a series of spells and potions.
The slot is a very dark one, the background to the reels pitch black, set against the night sky. The ornate title of the slot is framed by two dragon’s eyes, one which moves and blinks, while the other is strangely still and blank. Unfortunately the reels themselves do not look particularly impressive, with many of the symbols being very thin playing card ones. The relevant symbols are a little better, but graphically this slot falls a long way short of some of the high quality video and 3D slots you’ll find today. The accompanying soundtrack to the slot is a slightly mystical one, which fits the theme well.
The feature of the slot is the free spins round, which is activated by one of the two scatter symbols.
Set up and Play for Wild Wizards
Much like the majority of online slots, this one has 5 reels. There are 25 win lines and you’ll play all 25 by default, but you can change this to as many or as few as you’d like. Having chosen both the coin amount and the coin value, you’ll have your total stake for the spin and be ready to play. Hit spin to activate the wheel, or set the auto spin feature to set it in motion for up to 100 spins without interruption.
To gain a win you’ll need to land consecutive symbols on a win line from left to right. The top paying symbols in the game will only need you to land two in a row to gain a win, while all others will need three in a row. These top paying symbols are the dragon, the spell book, the crystal ball and the potions, paying out 2,000x, 750x, 500x and 400x the coin amount respectively when landing five in a row. The biggest paying symbol however is the wizard wild who will win you 10,000x your coin amount if appearing on all five reels on a win line. Obviously, this symbol is equally good as a wild, as it will substitute for any other symbols (aside from the scatters) to give additional wins.
The owl is the first scatter symbol and if this appears on the reels three or more times you’ll gain a win – these wins multiplied by the total stake. Landing 3 wins 5x your stake, landing 4 gains you 75x your stake and the maximum five wins you 2,500x your stake.
The bespectacled cat is the other scatter symbol and if this should appear three or more times, the free spins round is activated.
Wild Wizards Free Spins Feature
The number of free spins you’ll receive is based upon the number of the scatters gained to activate the feature. The usual three scatters will give you 10 free spins, but each additional scatter gives you an extra 5 spins. There are two good aspects to this round. Firstly, the free spins can be re-activated during the feature, which is not always the case. Secondly, each win during the feature sees the 3x multiplier come into play. A minimum of 10 free spins with a 3x multiplier makes for a very good free spins round, especially as there is the chance of re-activation.
Wild Wizards Overview
This slot by Saucify isn’t one that is going to set the world alight. There are many wizard based slots in the online casino industry and this has nothing that really makes it stand out from any of the others. This is due to the lack of features and the somewhat weak look to the slot. Having said that, this game may appeal to new players still getting to grips with slots, the lack of interruptions from outside features making for something of a traditional slot and the free spins round is certainly one you’ll be more than happy to land.
