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

Introduction

If you’re browsing through free Dreamtech slots looking for a game that’s fun, rewarding and has exciting bonus features, Witch Winnings has everything you could want. This 5x4 slot with 100 paylines has a little more depth of format and a few more ways to win than many slots, and on top of that, it’s designed with engaging graphics that make the most of the spookily fantastical theme.

This theme is represented by five regular themed symbols, but even the lower playing card symbols are drawn on pumpkins to make the theme more cohesive. The Scatter is a vampire and the Wild is a Witch (available in three different forms - regular, Scatter and Collect), and both pay in their own right, in addition to having their extra function of triggering free games or substituting for other symbols.

The free demo of Witch Winnings is available right here on Slots Temple, so give it a go and find out if it’s the slot for you.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

The concept of a witch has varied through different folklore in various centuries, but there is a certain image that probably comes into your head when you hear the title. You’re expecting a female magic-user in black robes and a pointy hat, and the white-haired woman at the centre of Witch Winnings certainly meets that requirement. She certainly is not one of the good, fairy tale witches of the Witch Pickings demo slot.

No, this witch is on the younger and more seductive side, and the slot as a whole goes for spookiness but not outright horror. The skull, skeletal tree, spider, bat, owl and cat all come with different coloured backgrounds for extra visual interest, and even the card symbols come on pumpkins. This all fits neatly with the haunted house on the hill under a full moon that can be seen in the background.

Witch Winnings RTP & Volatility

The 97.13% RTP of Witch Winnings is on the high side, but as always, this is a guideline figure based on average payouts over a long period of time. You still have to be prepared for statistical deviation. Medium volatility means that wins are fairly balanced in size and frequency, and therefore risk and reward are fairly even.

How to Play Witch Winnings

Luckily, playing this game isn’t restricted to the Witching Hour of midnight, and you don’t have to cast any spells before you begin.

1. There’s a Settings gear in the top right of the screen for sound and other settings.

2. The bottom left of the screen is where you’ll find displays for Bet and Total Bet. Between them is the multiplier, with plus and minus arrows to adjust your wager per spin.

3. The centre set of purple controls under the reels include Max Bet, Spin and Autoplay. These are all pretty self-explanatory, with Max Bet taking you straight to the highest possible wager, Spin starting one manual turn of the reels, and autoplay for automatic spinning.

4. At the bottom left of the screen are displays for the most recent win and current balance. If you’ve done the responsible thing and set yourself a budget and win and loss limits before you play, you’ll want to keep an eye on these.

5. If you want more information on game rules, paytable and bonus features, you can click the little “i” at the bottom left, just above the bet displays. It’s always a good idea to understand how a slot works before you start.

Witch Winnings Bonus Features & Free Spins

Free Games

Three or more Scatters will award you eight free spins. During the free games round, the Collect Meter will appear and allow you the opportunity to create Wild Reels and collect extra free games. Free games can also be retriggered. It is an exciting example of how a free spins feature can add something to a slot.

Collection Feature

When a Collect symbol appears on the reel during free games, it will be added to the Collect Meter. Four Collects on a reel will turn it into a Wild Reel for the next four games, with the meter reducing by one on each spin. C-Wilds can also contribute to the meter. If you reach two Wild Reels, you will also be awarded an extra free game. This continues with one free game for every new Wild Reel until all five reels are Wild.

Conclusion

This slot has been designed to be charmingly spooky - it’s not going to provide major scares, but it should be an enjoyable experience for those who like just a touch of creepiness in their games. The use of the theme and high-quality graphics keep the base game engaging whilst there are also some fun extra features - it’s always exciting to watch a meter fill as you hope you can reach the top - to create an all-round pleasing gaming experience.
