WITCHCRAFT ACADEMY INTRODUCTION
Beginning in the Witchcraft Academy’s library, you’ve got to hunt for clues alongside close friends Efora and Earthan within the 5×4 reels. The slot’s symbols are centred around the witchcraft and wizardry angle, with owls and dragons denoted as high win icons. Ghosts may appear through the shelves to surprise you, and keep a close eye on the books as they tend to move by themselves.
As always, NetEnt’s production of online slots is second to none. The artwork and graphics are crystal clear, with a lot of attention to detail being undertaken. The sound effects befit the magical world perfectly too.
WITCHCRAFT ACADEMY GAME TUTORIAL
Although the list of game features isn’t the most extensive from a NetEnt slot we’ve ever seen, there’s a lot to get through. First of all, the Wild symbols. These are common in almost all of the Swedish developer’s hits, and they are simply icons that substitute for all other symbols (except Scatter, in this case) to try and either bag you a combination or enlarge one further.
The Wild symbols can only appear on reels 1, 2, 4 or 5, but they are visible in both the library’s main game setting and in the deep cavern where Witchcraft Academy’s Free Spins Round lays.
ELEMENTS BONUS
Before we get to this area of the Witchcraft Academy, though, first we need to explain how. That’s because you can’t just waltz down to the Free Spins Round cavern without passing through the Elements Bonus dungeon first, and that is possibly lucrative in itself. To activate this feature, at least 3 Scatter Symbols must appear in the main game anywhere on the reels.
Once you’ve entered the dungeon, it’s up to one (or both) of your trusty companion’s magical ability which road you’ll take, as there’s no guarantee that free spins will arise every time. Put simply, you decide between Earthan and Efora who will cast a spell to determine your path, with the number of spells you have dependent on how many Scatter Symbols landed when the Elements Bonus was triggered.
What are they casting at, you ask? A 5×4 grid full of potential! On the board, waiting to be hit by the enchantments are:
- Coin Win Symbols – landing a random prize of between 10 and 200 times the bet level.
- Armour Guard Symbols – An icon which destroys all others that are settled horizontally and vertically to it.
- Scatter Symbols – reel 4’s Scatters hide Free Spins Features: x2 Multiplier, +5 free spins, a Wild covered reel 1, a Wild covered reel 5.
If 3 or more Scatter Symbols are hit during this Elements Bonus Round, then get ready to be taken to the Free Spins Round cavern!
FREE SPINS
Now while this may seem dangerous, we can assure you that journeying so far through the Witchcraft Academy is only a good thing. You will get 5 free spins minimum to enjoy, but there’s a chance to add more as you play.
If during one of the turns you see 2 or more Bonus Spin symbols land, an additional 5 free spins will be granted. For every +1 Bonus Spin symbol, the overall turns added multiplies by 5, up to a maximum of 5 Bonus Spin Symbols which would equate to 20 extra free spins.
