3 Lucky Witches Slot

Pros Tips

With its medium to high level of volatility and a 96% RTP, I decided to be a bit more daring and go for a higher bet level than what I’m used to having with higher volatility games. The results were great, as I triggered the witch wheel three times in 100 base game spins. Of course, I would still recommend sticking to a bet level that suits your respective budget, but know that there are several opportunities to potentially score a great win, especially with the video slot’s 5,000x maximum win cap. Three distinct bonus buy options can trigger the bonus modes but only go for these if they work well within your budget.

3 Lucky Witches Slot Bonus Features

Meet the three witches, Scarlett, Celeste and Ivy outside of their cauldron ridden house (or coven), surrounded by many a haunted pumpkin, twisted trees and swarms of bats. Among these creepy surroundings, you’ll find a grid made up of five reels and three rows which put together 243 paylines. I found the interface unnecessarily busy and would have preferred it if the bonus wheel wasn’t present at all during the base game spins, particularly because it doesn’t feature at all during those rounds, but more on that later.

A quick look at the paytable reveals the online slot’s selection of symbols, with five royal card tokens from 10 to A making up the lower-paying symbols. The K and A symbols have the best payouts of the lot, awarding 5x your spins for five matching symbols.

On the other hand, the high-paying tokens showcase some of the witches’ prized possessions, including lit candles, a green potion, a magic spellbook, an enchanted raven in flight and a magical black cat. The cat is the highest paying symbol of the lot, awarding 30x your stake for five identical symbols.

Having covered all of 3 Lucky Witches’ basics, it’s time to jump into the online slot’s special features.

Wilds

Wilds take on the shape of the titular three witches and you can pick your favourite witch to show up on the reels from the game’s paytable. The choice is purely aesthetic, so there’s no difference in gameplay and mechanics. I think it’s a missed opportunity and would have liked to see specific gameplay modifiers come through, based on your witch of choice.

As per usual wilds step in for missing pay symbols that could form a winning combination, while also enhancing existing wins for better rewards. Wilds land in both the base game and bonus rounds.

Scatter Symbol

Scary jack-o’lanterns represent scatter symbols and you’ll need a minimum of three to access the witch wheel feature. The more scatter symbols you have, the more advanced your wheel level will be when you begin spinning.

Witch Wheel

The witches’ wheel sits to the left of the reels during base game spins and is activated once you land a minimum of three scatter symbols. It has five levels, each with increasingly more rewarding cash prizes and bonuses. If you activate the bonus with three, four or five scatter symbols, you start from levels one, two or three, respectively. You can also upgrade levels by landing on the arrow symbol on the wheel.

Levels one and two contain cash prizes of up to 50x your stake, as well as up to six win spins. Moving on, levels three and four have cash prizes of up to 500x, up to 20 win spins and up to three mega picks. The fifth and final level has cash prizes of up to 1,000x and up to five mega picks.

The witch wheel also has mystery boxes with a question mark which lets you pick between a cash prize, 18 win spins or five mega picks.

Win Spins

Whenever you unlock win spins, you can decide to play the bonus or cash out with a win that’s equal to the average prize you’d get with that amount of free spins. If you choose to play, then you get a free spins bonus where each spin is guaranteed a win. Of course, the value of said wins will vary from one spin to another.

You also get a global win multiplier of 3x, and this can be upgraded to 10x if you trigger the bonus through a mystery box on the witch wheel.

Mega Pick

During the mega pick bonus, you’re presented with a series of witchy artefacts, including a vampire bat, skull, deadly plant, night owl, poisoned apple, voodoo doll and more. Depending on the number of picks you get, you can choose from the artefacts, revealing an instant cash prize. Each pick can have rewards of up to 590x your stake, so the overall win can end up being pretty high.

3 Lucky Witches Slot on Mobile

I always appreciate when developers go over and above to make sure the mobile version of their game works perfectly and 3 Lucky Witches just so happens to be one of these cases. I ran the game on Chrome using my Android phone and I have to say – I much prefer the mobile version. Specifically the portrait version of the game.

Earlier on I complained about the messiness of the interface on desktop, and to be fair the same applies to the landscape mode on mobile. But when switching to portrait mode, all of the framing fits perfectly and I feel like this is the definitive way to enjoy the game. The game runs on iOS and all modern mobile browsers too, so you can fire it up across a huge selection of phones and tablets.

Conclusion

I wasn’t quite sure of what to expect going into 3 Lucky Witches, but I must say I was pleasantly surprised.

All three bonuses are incredibly different and can lead to some fantastic prizes. My only criticism is that it may take a while for players to fully get familiar with them when compared to other modern online slots. The bonuses also triggered quite often for me, which made every spin feel more relevant.

The visuals are spot on too, with a fantastic set of graphics that bring the witchy, Halloween theme to life. It sets the right mood in being quite spooky but still very light. I was also quite happy with the math model, which clocks volatility between a medium and high setting, while also having an RTP of 96%. I never quite hit the 5,000x maximum win, but if you’re lucky enough to get there, you’re in for a fantastic reward.

So, all in all, 3 Lucky Witches successfully builds on its predecessor’s blueprint, delivering a fun, spooky and rewarding slot experience.
