Wild Spells Slot Review

Wild Spells slot review

I have spun Wild Spells since it launched back in 2017, and it still holds up well. Pragmatic Play went with a classic 5 by 3 layout and 25 fixed paylines, wrapped in a witchcraft fantasy setting. Snowflakes drift across a mountain backdrop while mystical music plays, so the slot feels calm rather than frantic. Under the pretty presentation sits a straightforward video slot that relies on stacked characters and jackpots.

The maths profile in Wild Spells sits somewhere between medium and high volatility in practice, at least from my sessions. The theoretical return to player ranges from about 95.17 percent up to 96.40 percent, depending on where you play. On paper the maximum win sits in the region of 1,250 times to 1,450 times your stake, helped by stacked witches and the Grand Jackpot.

How to play Wild Spells slot

When I load Wild Spells I usually start in demo mode, just to warm up and check the pace of the slot. You can spin with fun money first, then switch to real stakes once you are happy. Bets run from 0.25 up to 125 per spin, adjusted via the plus and minus buttons beside the main spin control and the separate wager settings menu.

Game rules in Wild Spells are simple enough. Wins pay from left to right over the 25 paylines, and stacked witch symbols often cover whole reels. I like to check the paytable and feature pages using the info button before I start long sessions. You can also set up a run of automatic spins, but high volatility means I still watch my balance closely and stop if things get too swingy.

Symbols in Wild Spells

Symbols in Wild Spells split neatly into low pays, picture symbols and the three witches. The low icons are 9 to A card ranks, then you step up to candles, potion bottles and the spell book. On top of that sit the Nature, Water and Fire witches, which can appear stacked on all reels. The Fire witch is the premium symbol, paying from 0.12 times up to 8 times your stake for a full line.

Wild Spells also uses classic special symbols. The black cat is the wild symbol and substitutes for all regular icons, helping to complete or extend winning combinations. The crystal ball acts as the scatter, landing only on reels one, three and five in my experience. Three or more scatters in view trigger the free spins feature, regardless of paylines, and in the bonus round they can award extra spins as well.

Wild Spells features

Bonus features in Wild Spells are centred on the free spins round. When three or more crystal ball scatters land on reels one, three and five, you are given a choice of three spell books. The first option gives 20 free spins, where only the Nature witch turns wild on reels two to five. This setup brings frequent wild stacks but feels more of a slow grind than a shot at a huge screen.

The second free spins option in Wild Spells gives 10 spins, with both Nature and Water witches turning wild when they land on the middle reels. The third choice is the one I pick when I want pure volatility. You only get 5 free spins, yet all three witches become wild on reels two to five. A couple of stacked hits here can fill the screen with premium wilds and throw out serious wins.

Outside the bonus, Wild Spells offers three fixed jackpots that drop when stacked witches cover consecutive reels. Three full stacks award the Minor jackpot worth 50 times your total bet. Four stacks give the Major at 200 times, and a screen full of witches pays the Grand jackpot for 1,250 times your stake. Some demo versions also let you buy straight into the free spins round, which is handy for testing your preferred option.

Wild Spells slot RTP and volatility

RTP in Wild Spells depends on the version your chosen casino runs. Pragmatic Play provide configurations from around 95.17 percent up to 96.40 percent, so I always check the game info panel while logged in with real money mode selected. The edge difference looks small, yet over thousands of spins the higher RTP setting usually keeps a bankroll alive longer, which means more chances to hit the free spins or a jackpot.

Wild Spells slot verdict

For me Wild Spells sits in a nice spot between classic and modern slots. The stacked witches, pickable free spins and fixed jackpots give enough tension without turning every spin into pure chaos. The graphics and sound design still look fine years after release, and it runs smoothly on mobile. I tend to use it when I want a session that can hit hard but does not demand turbo sized bets.
