Wild Spells Slot Machine

Magic is a dangerous and difficult art to master. Those who seek to learn it must pass through many trials before they can prove themselves worthy to master this forgotten art. But while the world may have moved on, we haven’t. With the help of Pragmatic Play, we’re organizing an expedition into the mountains, where the rumoured three witches still live. With hard work and a little luck, we’ll tame these Wild Spells and make them work for us!

Gameplay

Graphics-wise, it isn’t bad. It’s more than fair to describe this slot as average, really! It has a few animations, though none of them really stood out to us. It doesn’t help that some symbol designs are plain and boring playing card royals. There was a little bit of effort put in to try and help them fit in. Sadly, they just feel out of place next to candles, magic orbs, and beautiful mages. Especially when said beautiful mages appear stacked and form a big icon that shows them off!

You play this game on a 5x3 board with 25 paylines, which pay left to right only. But to win the jackpot, you’ll have to chase right to left, instead! If one of the three witches appears fully stacked from right to left in adjacent reels, they can win one of the three fixed jackpots. Another thing to look forward to are the free spins. Before the extra turns even begin, you get to make a choice between three different free spins bonuses! Depending on what you pick, you’ll have a different number of Wilds and extra turns.

Wild Spells Slots Real Money

Players can set their total bet between GBP 0.25 and GBP 125.00 on each spin, which is a really good betting spread. There are two ways you can adjust your wager in this Pragmatic Play release. The first and simpler method is to simply directly change it by clicking the plus and minus buttons by the Spin button. Alternatively, you can use the dropdown menu, where you can adjust the coins per payline and coin value. No matter which method you use, available bets stay the same.

Wild Spells has a high volatility, which suits the temperamental nature of magic! You can tweak this slightly during free spins, as it lets you pick how risky or volatile you want that special feature to be. We admire the option to choose this a lot, even if it doesn’t impact the actual variance of the slot by that much. The maximum prize you can win is the Grand jackpot, worth 1250x your total stake. The RTP for this game is 96.40%, which is above the current industry average.

Bonus Rounds

Collect three or more Scatters in any position to win free spins. Before any extra turns are played, you have to pick one of three options. The choices are as follows:

• Twenty free spins, with the nature witch becoming Wild

• Ten extra turns, with the nature and ice witch becoming Wild

• Five free spins, with all three witches turning Wild

Additional extra turns can be won if you collect three Scatters on the first, third and fifth reel.

If you score three, four or five full stacks of any witch symbol from right to left, you win the minor, major or grand jackpot, respectively. The grand jackpot is what you want to win, as it’s the best prize in this release.

Summary

Honestly, we really liked Wild Spells as the entire package. Graphics, special features and gameplay are all well connected, and create a fun experience. That said, a high volatility slot needs a better jackpot than 1250x your total stake. As it stands currently, it’s just not worth it compared to other, more lucrative games.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the RTP of Wild Spells?

Wild Spells has a return to player (RTP) of 96.40%, which is above the current industry average of 96%. As a high volatility Pragmatic Play slot, this payback is delivered through the game's three fixed jackpots – Minor, Major and Grand – and the three selectable free spins options with expanding witch Wilds.

Can I play Wild Spells for real money?

Yes, Wild Spells is available as a real money slot at online casinos carrying Pragmatic Play titles. Bets range from GBP 0.25 to GBP 125 per spin across 25 paylines, with the Grand Jackpot worth 1,250x your stake the highest prize available through the game's right-to-left stacked witch mechanic.

What is the theme of Wild Spells?

Wild Spells is a Pragmatic Play slot themed around three witches dwelling in a mountain stronghold. The reels feature the three witches as main stacked symbols alongside magic orbs, candles and enchanted artefacts. Each witch corresponds to a different element – nature, ice and fire – and their roles as Wild symbols define the selectable free spins options.

How does the Wild Spells jackpot work?

Wild Spells offers three fixed jackpots triggered by landing three, four or five full stacks of any witch symbol in adjacent reels from right to left. Three full stacks win the Minor Jackpot, four win the Major Jackpot, and five full stacks of the same witch claim the Grand Jackpot worth 1,250x your total stake. This right-to-left mechanic operates independently of the standard left-to-right paylines.

What are the three free spins options in Wild Spells?

When three or more Scatters trigger free spins in Wild Spells, players choose from three options: twenty free spins with the nature witch as Wild, ten free spins with both the nature and ice witches as Wilds, or five free spins with all three witches turning Wild. Additional free spins can be won by landing three Scatters on reels one, three and five during the feature.

Why does Wild Spells pay jackpots from right to left?

Wild Spells jackpots require witch stacks to run from right to left in adjacent reels, which is the opposite direction to the standard paylines. This creates a separate and independent win condition that can trigger alongside normal left-to-right wins on the same spin. The unusual directionality adds strategic tension – players watch both win directions simultaneously on every spin.
