Witch Treasures - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

GameBeat is a relatively new iGaming studio based in Cyprus. GameBeat free slots are distinguished by their cinematic style, original sound design and distinctive visuals. If you give some of their demo slots a try you’ll quickly become aware of their stripped down approach which foregrounds the content and keeps peripheral distractions to a minimum. Witch Treasures plunders the very rich mythologies and traditions of witchcraft, which are rooted in different ways within every culture. GameBeat’s version, like Dragon Gaming’s The Wicked Witches, focuses on the western European traditions of black cats and bubbling cauldrons.

Witch Treasures has a 5-reel, 3-column grid with 50 fixed paylines. The minimum bet value is 0.25 and the maximum is 50. On the reels there are 8 regular symbols: Witch’s Hat, Cauldron, Toadstools, Magic Potion and the 4 highest value playing cards. In addition there is the scatter which is a black cat, the wild symbol which is the witch herself and a magic circle symbol.

Theme, Graphics and Soundtrack

The grid occupies almost the whole of the screen, with only teasing glimpses of the witch’s lair behind. The reels are a deep purple colour with bright bold icons. The magic circle symbols turn gently, providing the only animation until you land the wild, at which point the rather demure witch smile enigmatically and waves her wand. Music is standard spooky stuff. The whole effect is smart and striking.

Witch Treasures RTP and Variance

The Return to Player is 96.23% and the volatility or variance is medium.

Witch Treasures Bonus Features

Free Games

If you land 3 or more scatter symbols in any position on the reels you will trigger the free games feature. During free games the magic circle symbol can substitute for any other symbol except for scatters in order to make the best possible winning combination. Free games can be retriggered during a free games round. The bet value used in free games is the same as on the spin which triggered the round.

Golden Rush Feature

When 6 or more magic circle symbols land simultaneously the golden rush feature is triggered. Three respins are awarded. Any magic circle symbols that triggered the feature will transform into money symbols, each displaying a cash prize or a mini, minor or major prize designation. The money symbols will stick in place throughout. Each sticky symbol position will spin independently. After each respin if one or more magic circle symbol lands the number of respins will be reset to 3 and all the money symbol prizes displayed will pay out. The most recent magic circle symbols to land will change into money symbols displaying prizes, which will be awarded if new magic circle symbols land on a new spin. The mega prize is awarded when all positions are filled with money symbols.

Witch Treasures Review: Our Verdict

A relatively straightforward game, Witch Treasures doesn’t stretch to a fully-fledged bonus game, limiting itself to free spins and respins. It’s fine as far as it goes but the subject matter seems to cry out for an ingenious gamble feature or a bonus that takes us deeper into the lair. Still, it looks good and the RTP is above average so it passes the time well.
