Review and recommendations about the Witchcraft Academy slot by the testing team

• Because of the beautifully designed atmosphere and thrilling experience, playing the Witchcraft Academy slot machine could easily become one of our favourite pastimes. Especially because it pays for winning combinations left, right, and the middle – anywhere on the pay line. This keeps every single spin captivating until the last reel stops spinning. Furthermore, the graphics are pleasant plus the additional features keep the action suspenseful.
• In the regular game, many dead spins did roll by, no matter how many possibilities there are to make winning combinations. At times it almost became annoying that the first 2 reels and the last 2 reels were stacked with expensive symbols, while on the middle reel no symbol corresponded with anything on the other 4 reels. On the other hand, this is one of the slots where it is practically possible to trigger one full screen of top symbols.
• However, this all can compensate for the balance loss, but only temporarily. All in all the game doesn’t preserve one steady line of credits in the long-distance, despite some decent wins in the regular spins.
• It’s recommended to have a big bet balance for this slot because it might take a long while before the Elements Bonus round is triggered. Of course, it’s always possible for the bonus round to be activated early on in your session. The payouts from the Elements Bonus round depend very much on the fact that you make it to the Free Spins by hitting at least 3 Bonus symbols. If you don’t, then all you got is a Coin Win.
• How much is the total winning of the Free Spins relates to which additional functions are triggered? With all the functions: extra Wild reels- Sticky Wilds, and the max Multiplier x2, the slot can produce easily 250x bets winning. Some less valuable bonuses will bring the average index of Free Spins rewards down to the range of 80-150x total bets.
• During our tests, we realized that with or without the Free Spins, your chances at good payouts in this Academy are equal. So, don’t be frustrated if you didn’t get the opportunity to play the Free Spins to their full potential.
