Witches Wild Brew Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

Witches Wild Brew is a 2019 release from Booming Game with a Halloween theme. It takes a 5x4 format with five reels and 25 fixed paylines. Be prepared for witching hour with sorcery, potions and dark magic sure to send a chill and a thrill with every spin. Symbols include three witches, one of which is the young and beautiful black hat-wearing witch. The next is zombified and the third is older, with white eyes and a bulbous nose. There are five lower value playing card symbols, from ten through to ace. The bursting wild symbol is identified by the word ‘wild’ and will explode in a puff of green, while the bursting wild multiplier symbol is similar but with a multiplier written below. The game’s scatter is the cauldron.

The user interface is contemporary and different, being to the right-hand side of the reels rather than below. To the top right you will find the three lines indicating the menu of game options, where you will find the likes of information, autospin and game settings. The coin stacks below are to set the bet, while to the bottom right is the large main spin button. Attached to this button is a + sign that you can use to open more options, including turbo, 50 automatic spins, max bet and sound options.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

Witches Wild Brew is popular amongst Halloween slots, with an eerie tinted green forest serving as the backdrop for this game. A glowing green cauldron billowing smoke sits atop a glowing fire, while the reels are given an old and enchanted makeover with Celtic-style decoration and ivy vines and leaves. The free spins turn sepia into rusty red, as though the forest is on fire.

The animations are consistent, with fire and smoke from the cauldron as wins and features are triggered. For free spins, we might see a plume of green smoke take over the screen and the beautiful young witch holding glowing orbs.

An eerie soundtrack and sound effects such as the bubbling cauldron combine with the top-quality graphics to make for atmospheric and engrossing gameplay.

Witches Wild Brew RTP & volatility

This slot has a 95.13 per cent RTP, which is a little below the average 96 per cent we prefer; however, the ravens and other elements act as reel modifiers, essentially making this a lower variance slot. As such, it is likely that players will see lower but more regular payouts.

Overall review: our verdict

The aesthetics are what first stands out. Excellent graphics and animations make this a highly entertaining and distinctive game, but it is also a straightforward game to play thanks to practical user settings. We additionally like the shortcut for viewing symbol values by simply clicking on the symbol on the reels.

The wager options should satisfy both the casual and more daring player. There are ample features to shake things up and we like the added suspense in the Pick a Raven round. We consider the jackpot to be the most tantalising ingredient in this bewitching slot, capable of paying 1,500x the wager. Although the RTP is a little on the disappointing side, the lower variance could appeal to players who prefer lower but more consistent and regular wins to keep the gameplay entertaining and rewarding.
