It is that time of the year again when the ghosts, ghouls and other assorted creatures of the night take to the streets for a night of pumpkin carving, trick or treating and the occasional casting of spells.
Halloween may be the biggest celebration of the autumn for many across the world, but you can get your fix of witches throughout the year thanks to Microgaming's Lucky Witch slot.
Let's start brewing this potent mix of slot-themed potion by taking a look at the basics of this popular and venerable slot. Lucky Witch is a typical 5x3 reel video slot which is based, as you would expect, on the theme of witches and Halloween. It boasts 15 non-selectable paylines and you can get the reels spinning for as little as 0.15 per spin, or you can wager up to a maximum permissible bet of 60.00 per spin.
That's good news for the micro stake players as well as those who prefer to play for more cash, but what else do you get for your money?
Well, the in game jackpot is 2,000 coins which isn't as big as some of the other Microgaming jackpots available out there, but this medium variance slot does tend to pay out good chunks of cash when you hit the right combinations, especially during the free spins round and those slot players who like to play games which hit decent sized wins more often than mega wins less frequently, will enjoy the added value of the Lucky Witch slot.
Another nice feature is that the slot is packed to the brim with symbols celebrating witches and Halloween. There's no playing card low symbols on this slot, just a plethora of symbols from black cats to grinning pumpkins and all things in between.
One symbol to pay close attention to is the Lucky Witch symbol, which acts as the in game Wild and substitutes for most of the other symbols in the game to create winning paylines. There's no multiple for wins created by a Wild but the fact that it appears relatively frequently across the reels to help you claim a payline win offsets that.
There are just a few symbols on the reels that the Lucky Witch wild does not substitute for and these are all symbols linked to the many different bonus games and features included with the Lucky Witch slot.
The first of these is the Potion Bottle symbol, which acts as the in game wild. You receive a small cash prize if you land two of these anywhere across the reels (they don't have to be on a single payline to trigger a win) but if you land three or more then you are transported into the Free Spins round.
Here you will receive the a lucky 13 free spins, which come with a 2x multiplier attached doubling your winnings in this round at a stroke. Yet that is not all, if you land three or more scatters during free spins, you can retrigger the bonus and receive another 13 free spins on top of those already awarded to you.
Then to increase your chance of a win further, the Red Haired Witch acts as as another Wild symbol during free spins, giving you even greater chance of landing a decent sized payout.
Another exciting feature is the Mystery Bonus feature, which is activated when you land the Cauldron symbol on the first, third and fifth reel on a single spin. When you do this, you are transported to the Bonus Game section where you will play one of four different bonus games.
The Pumpkin bonus feature is a simple selection game where you can pick from three pumpkins to win a cash prize, the twist being that you can elect to stick with your prize, or pick again to try and increase the size of your prize, or risk losing money if you pick a smaller amount.
Another bonus is the Magic Potion bonus game which sees you pick from a total of 12 potion bottles to win cash prizes, however be aware that one bottle hides the skull which when selected immediately ends the game. However, to combat that one bottle hides the Win All option which sees you win all the cash prizes hidden behind the 10 other prize-winning potion bottles.
The third bonus is the Secret Vault Bonus which sees you pick any three from 12 different symbols and then you choose a final symbol from those offered to ascertain exactly how much your cash prize will be.
Finally, the last bonus game is the Spell Book bonus, where you choose one of three spell books to set up your multiplier. Select the Magic Imp and he will cast a spell which will increase the multiplier to a massive 52x your base game stake, which is the biggest possible win available in the Lucky Witch slot.
Packed with features and with cartoon-style graphics and a hugely enjoyable number of features, the Lucky Witch slot is certainly one to try out at your favourite Microgaming casino this month and every month of the year.
