Witch Pickings

When creating their recent video slot, NexGen Gaming has decided to give more freedom to their players then they have ever experienced. During the main game, Witch Pickings seems like an ordinary video slot based on magic and witchery. Although skilfully designed, the main game has nothing particularly distinctive to offer. Furthermore, with so many slot games themed on seductive witches and their magic tools, yet another similar game would not astound even the hardest NexGen fans. However, once you enter the bonus game, all previous skepticism about this slot will be wiped out and you will find yourself in a world of many possibilities.

After adjusting your bet, you can either choose the auto play option to commence a series of up to 100 auto spins or click on the spin button. Spin button is located on the top of a mushroom and after every win, another mushroom grows carrying the gamble option. If you click on Gamble you will be picking either colour or suit to double or quadruple your win. All wins pay left to right except the Scatter symbol. Both, payline and Scatter wins are multiplied by the total bet. Wild symbols substitute for all non-scatter symbols.

You will need 40 coins to launch this 25-payline slot machine. With fixed number of paylines and coins per spin, all you can do is clicking on arrow buttons in the bottom right corner to determine the coin value in range of $0.01 to $2.00. Since the bonus round wins are unusually high, NextGen Gaming has developed a not so awarding main game to result in an overall payout between 95% and 96%. The highest paying symbol is the Wild, awarding up to 1000 coins per line. However, patience pays off since the bonus round delivers massive winning streaks.

Beside standard card value symbols like A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9, regular symbols include themed symbols whose variations we have seen many times before: Castle, Cauldron, Potion Bottle and Pendant. However, all of them look really nice, including Scatter and Wild. Magic Ball is Wild symbol and it appears quite often, while Three Witches is Scatter symbol. Scatter symbol pays with two or more of them showing up anywhere on the reels and opens up the bonus round with one more.

Three Scatters automatically trigger the bonus round in which you will need to pick one feature from each witch and you will be awarded 5 free spins. Blue Witch offers: Symbols The Same feature (all regular themed symbols turn into one), Symbols Stacked (one of 4 regular symbols appears stacked) and Symbol Prizes (one symbol pays 500, 250, 200, 150, 100, 50 or 25 coins each time it shows up). Red Witch is all about Wilds: Expanding Wilds (covering an entire reel), Extra Wilds and Wild Multiplier (all Wild wins are multiplied by 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10). Green Witch is very generous: All Wins Multiplier, Pays Both Ways and Extra 5 Free Games.

Mobile slot was released at the same time with the desktop version and it offers pretty much the same options, with the exception of Gamble. Although a mobile version can be played in the portrait mode as well, playing in the landscape mode is recommended for better gaming experience.
