Richy Witchy - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

You don’t need to wait until October to enjoy playing Halloween slots. If you like a darker side to your slots gaming, you’ll find plenty of options available. From fun, cartoon-style ghoulishness to full-on horrifying games that you wouldn’t want to play with the lights out, Halloween-themed games will always hit the spot. And now, we have Richy Witchy to add some fun and sparkle to the proceedings.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

It’s clear from the outset that Richy Witchy isn’t aiming to replicate the style of the spooky and immersive Wild Witches Brew slot. The witch in this game is young, pretty and just dying to help you win some big cash prizes. She’s got all the equipment she needs to help her, from candles, potions and black cats to a bubbling cauldron of bright green liquid. It’s all very bright and colourful and not at all scary.

In a particularly nice touch, the playing card icons have been given a thoroughly magical makeover. The J resembles the witch’s pointy lace-up boots, and the A looks just like her pointy hat. It’s one of those lovely little touches that help to raise the graphics of this game above the average.
 
The backing track has faint echoes of Harry Potter somewhere in there. It’s fairly muted and is accompanied by tinkling magical chimes as the reels spin. It’s all in keeping with the game’s theme, so it helps to create some extra atmosphere.

Richy Witchy RTP & Volatility

The RTP of Richy Witchy is a rather low 95%. That’s not quite low enough to dissuade us from playing the game for real money, but it certainly makes us stop and think twice about it. Relatively poor returns are combined with high volatility, making this a game more suited to high-risk players. A modest gaming budget won’t carry you far in Richy Witchy, which is why it’s well worth exploring the game in demo mode at first.

This is just one of the Platipus Gaming free slots we have available here on our website. You can trial the game for as long as you like, and it won’t cost you anything at all. You won’t be able to keep any winnings you spin up at Slots Temple, but your gaming budget will still be intact by the end of your session!

How to Play Richy Witchy

The game’s control panel is clearly set out just below the reels. Here’s what you need to know to get started.

1. There are 40 fixed paylines in the game, so you need to start by deciding how much to stake on each one. All interactive elements in the control panel are coloured green, so just look for the buttons next to the payline bet to set your stake. Your total cost per spin is shown in the window to the left.

2. Pressing Spin will play out one single game at your chosen stake. For multiple hands-free spins, press on the Autoplay button. The button just below Autoplay speeds the game up into Turbo mode.

3. Review the game’s rules and paytable by tapping on the menu button.

4. Mute game sounds from the speaker icon to the far bottom left of the screen.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

Payline costs start from just 0.01 and go up to 1.00 each. That gives wagering options from 0.40 to 40.00 per spin, which is bound to suit a variety of slots fans. It won’t hold much appeal for penny slots players, and high rollers are unlikely to be interested in the prizes on offer. But for everyone else, there’s a good choice of bets and the chance to win some decent cash payouts.

Your objective is to match up three, four or five symbols from left to right across a payline. The financial rewards for doing so are shown as multiples of your payline stake, apart from Scatters, which pay out against your total stake.

Richy Witchy Bonus Features & Free Spins

The black cat is the game’s Wild symbol and it appears Stacked, giving multiple chances to win. Every Wild can stand in for any other symbol on the paytable, apart from Scatters, so it’s always a welcome sight on the reels.

Three or more cauldron Scatter symbols will bring a cash reward, but they will also initiate the game’s Free Spins Bonus round, awarding 7 Free Spins. Just before your free spins start, the cauldron picks one of the symbols from the game’s paytable to act as an Extra Wild throughout the feature. Land five-of-a-kind Wilds across a payline during the bonus to win 1,000x your line bet.

Overall Review

Richy Witchy is a lovely-looking game with some fun features. The Stacked Wilds contribute to plenty of winning combinations, and the Extra Wild in the Free Spins Bonus is a nice touch. But the high volatility makes this quite a risky game to play with real money, so be sure to play it in demo mode first.
