Potion Spells slot review

Potion Spells is a fun and exciting slot game with a great theme and a cluster pays system instead of paylines in the base game. It is very highly volatile and has lots of bonus features. Its witchy, spooky vibe would make it a great Halloween slot, but this slot is sure to entertain at any time.

Theme

What will slot fans make of Potion Spells’ magical theme?

This is a slot with a lot when it comes to its great theme. Graphics, suspense, animation, sound: it is all going on in the lab. What does this Potion Spells slot review think of all this?

Spooky spells and ambient sounds

Players will find the scene a delight. The backdrop paints the spooky witches' lab perfectly, while the gameboard is littered with potions and all the ingredients for a heady witches’ brew. BGaming has set the scene really well here, complete with ghostly noises and creaking doors.

What about the funky animations?

Modest but used to stunning effect, the animations are the icing on the cake. Players will appreciate the mystique provided by the twinkling potions and suspicious green mist emanating from the cauldron. Hubble, bubble, toil and trouble!

Potion Spells RTP and variance 

Potions Spells RTP

The return to player of this BGAMING online slot, as published by BGaming, is 96.25 per cent in the base game. This is just above the average for similar slots.

Volatility and top win

BGaming also specifies that this is a slot with high volatility, meaning fewer potential payouts but they will have a higher value. As for the payout potential, the max win is 12,000x the total bet.

How to play Potion Spells

1. Start by looking at the paytable. You can open this by pressing the ‘i’ symbol in the bottom left-hand corner, followed by the money bag icon.
2. Next, place your bet by pressing the up or down arrows next to ‘total bet’ in the control bar at the bottom.
3. If you would like to use autospin, simply press the ‘A’ button on the left of the circular start button to reveal the options.
4. If you want to spin manually, press the start button when you are ready.
5. Remember to gamble responsibly. You can use the timeout and self-exclusion functions and you should walk away if a game stops being fun.

How to win

With no paylines and no win multiplier as such, these slots use cluster pays to award wins. This means landing clusters of between 5 and 15 matching symbols on the 7x7 grid. As winning symbols disappear, more will cascade down to create further winning opportunities on the same spin.

Bet sizes & paytable wins

For each spin, the maximum bet size permitted is 20.00 and the minimum is 0.20, although this may vary in online casinos. Players can check the paytable to see the potential top wins, such as:

• 15,000 for 15 frogs
• 6,000 for 15 mushrooms
• 3,000 for 15 feathers

Max-win 12,000x

Potion Spells bonuses 

Where do we start? This slot certainly isn’t short of bonus features, so let’s take a look at these Potion Spells bonus features now:

Backlit symbol

Random symbols will be backlit on each spin. Should they make a cluster, they will disappear to leave wilds behind.

Big symbol

These will double the win if they land. Although it is not exactly a win multiplier, it is one to watch out for. These occur when four identical symbols form a cluster.

Second chance

For any spin that doesn’t result in a win, the second chance bonus will kick in. This could see a random number of symbols turn wild, providing a second chance to form winning combinations.

Progress bar

The progress bar is the area where the four flasks are suspended above the cauldron. Its counter starts at 100 (25 per flask) and counts backwards. For each winning symbol, a point is removed from the bar. When each flask’s 25 points are diminished, they will tip up to trigger one of four features that offer transforming symbols and exploding cells.

Pot bonus game

This one triggers when all four features from the progress bar have been played, meaning a total of 100 winning symbols have landed. It gives players three spins, with the first placing a 3x3 wild, the second placing two 2x2 wilds, and the third placing nine wilds on the reels. This provides multiple opportunities to land a great total win. 

Potion Spells review: our verdict 

This Potion Spells slot review will now give the verdict on what we think slots fans will make of this unseasonable release.

A whole lot of bubble and a little bit of trouble

There is definitely plenty going on in this slot, with bonus features galore. Offering much more than just wild and scatter symbols, there are at least nine bonuses if you include the four triggered by the progress bar. All this is great, but some players could find it difficult to figure out how it all works.

So volatile it might just explode

The volatility of this slot is pretty explosive, which is unlikely to please players who prefer low- or medium-variance slots.

Does this video slot spell success?

We think players won’t be able to help liking this slot with its quirky and well-made theme and spooktacular graphics. It won’t be for everyone, thanks to the high variance and complex rules, but we are pretty sure there will at least be some magic in the air.
