Balthazar’s Random Bonuses
At any point, Balthazar can appear to award random potion bonuses to turn a loss into a win! The ‘potions wild’ symbol adds wilds to the reels, the ‘magic re-spin’ gives you an automatic re-spin with a guaranteed win, the ‘snake eye’ potion shuffles the reels to award a win, the ‘déjà vu’ potion rewinds the reels to find a potion, and the ‘Dr Burns’ burns off a symbol to reveal a winning symbol beneath.
Magic with Potions and Plenty of Ways to Win
Balthazar’s Wild Emporium is great fun with a weird and wonderful theme and many different bonus features. The atmosphere, graphics and sound effects are entertaining and will suit fans of magical themes. Balthazar appears regularly at the side of the screen in his maroon suit outfit to award magical bonuses, such as extra wilds.
The potions free spins rounds will certainly take a while to trigger as you need 5 symbols on the screen at once, but most players will enjoy the magical forest theme so much that the time passes quickly while you wait for the bigger rewards from Balthazar.
