Introduction

Enter the mad scientists lab as he attempts to turn base metals into gold in Alchemy, a brand new title from Kajot.

This title is feature-rich with a range of different ways to boost your chances of winning on each spin.

Theme and Graphics

The graphic design of this title is absolutely brilliant with well-rendered 3D-styled symbols. The reels are set in a dark dungeon where the alchemist would complete his work.

The reels spin smoothly with great winning animations as well as special animations letting you know the bonus features are being triggered.

Alchemy RTP and Variance

The long-term average RTP of Alchemy is 96.00%, which is bang on the average for titles of this type. The medium to high volatility of this title provides a mixture of balanced gameplay with the presence of some big wins. The big wins which are available are also set up in such a manner that they do not come along very often, so patient play is more often than not needed to realise these.

3. Spin the reels by clicking the spin button directly below the middle reel. 
4. To spin the reels multiple times, use the auto spin button, which is situated directly to the right of the spin button. This provides you with options to spin between 10 and 100 times, as well as an infinite spin option. You can stop the autospin whenever you want by clicking the spin button again.
5. Please play Alchemy responsibly. Set a sensible and affordable budget for each play session. Only play with money you can afford and don't chase losses. When the fun stops, end your session.

Alchemy Bonus Features

Filling three, four or five reels with matching A, K, Q or J symbols multiplies your winnings by 3x, 4x or 5x respectively.

If the wild alchemist symbol helps to create a winning combination, it will expand across the entire reel, which could increase your chances of winning. The alchemist substitutes for any symbol other than the scatter symbol.

If your spin is not successful, there is the chance that one of the three free bonus features may trigger. These free features are shuffling, where the symbols on the reels rearrange to create a winning combination. Changing converts all of the flask symbols to the same symbol. Random wilds change some symbols on the reels to wild alchemists.

If three scatter symbols appear in any location on the reels, you either get nine free spins with the changing feature, five with the shuffling feature or seven with the random wild feature.

All wins achieved during free spins are based on the bet value in play on the spin which triggered the bonus.

Alchemy Review: Our Verdict

Alchemy is a feature-rich title with plenty to keep you engaged as a player. Graphic design and animations are outstanding, giving you a visual treat whilst playing too. Whilst there are plenty of bonus features, they do not trigger often.
