Witch Pickings Slot

If the yellow brick road was paved with gold, we would surely follow it. But would you follow it if you were directed that way by three witches? Well, NextGen’s Witch Pickings Slot witches seem perfectly benign. In fact, have our best interests at heart. Namely that they’re happy to offer their magical powers to our benefit to grant us with special skills when it comes to this slot’s Free Spins round. At the risk of sounding like Yoda, Witch special bonus do you fancy?

GAME FEATURES

Graphics

These witches are clearly on the white hat branch of witchcraft. The graphics and game design are light and airy - the castle that these friendly witches call home sits off across the meadow, slightly out of focus but nevertheless looking plush. Classic witch paraphernalia make up our higher-paying game symbols - Cat, Potion, Cauldron and Castle. Standard 9s through Aces make up our numbers as low-paying symbols, while the shimmering Crystal Ball Wild magically substitutes for all other symbols. Our Red, Blue and Green Witch do make an appearance - as our Scatter. Landing three of this cheery coven will launch the enchanting Free Spins bonus feature, which will see our witches return with special spells to help us achieve our free spins aims.

Gameplay

NextGen continues in cute style throughout the game. Sweet musical ditties accompany winning combos, while bright magic light swooshes across the winning lines. Our trio of witches sneeze into a firework when we land them as Scatters (or, more likely, they blow magic dust towards us). Three such Scatters launch the bonus game, a Free Spins feature that seems a little stingy at five free spins. But each witch offers us a spell to help boost our winnings. The Blue Witch will transform our symbols. We can choose between having all high symbols the same, a randomly-chosen stacked high symbol or a cash prize gift between x25-500 our line bet for every instance of the random high symbol that appears. The Red Witch transforms our Wilds, conjuring us up either Expanding Wilds, Extra Wilds or a x2-x10 Wild Multiplier. And then comes the Green Witch, granting us either an All Wins Multiplier, a Pays Both Ways pay system or 5 Extra Spins. As ever, all our win transformations are dependent on our triggering bet.

Verdict

Is Witch Pickings likely to be the first slot you fire up when you log into your online casino account? Probably not. But it is a welcome distraction. The bright airiness and general friendliness puts the record straight that not all witches are sheer evil. Of course, their friendly help when it comes to the Free Spins bonus feature is also a key factor in our possible return to this soft focus hinterland. These witches may not be our first number on speed dial, but we’ll definitely be calling them back.
