With five reels, three rows and 25 paylines, Witch Pickings is a NextGen Gaming video slot that can be played from 40p to £80 per spin.
Theme
As you will probably have surmised, Witch Pickings revolves around the theme of witches. However, don’t be scared as these magical beings are of the friendly rather than evil variety. In fact, they look more like Disney princesses than old hags. The reels are set in a magical forest and the soundtrack is somewhat calming and tuneful. The colours are bright and cheerful and symbols include a cauldron, a potion, a castle and, of course, a black cat. The witches symbol is the scatter and a crystal ball acts as the wild icon.
Free Spins
Landing three or more scatter symbols on the reels activates the free spins round. Firstly you’ll be asked to pick a feature from each of the three witches. These include stacked symbols, extra wilds, wild multipliers and further free games. The features you choose will be valid throughout the free spins round and the witches stay close to the reels to remind you of the options you’ve chosen.
Trophies and Scoreboard
One interesting feature that Witch Pickings has is the trophies and scoreboard pages. You receive a trophy for every milestone you hit and can look to see where you’re at at any time. The scoreboard keeps track of your top winnings, noting the features you chose during the bonus round and the amount you won. This allows you to go back and find out which combinations have proved most lucrative.
Verdict
Witch Pickings is a fun game to play. The buoyant soundtrack and bright graphics ensure the slot is easy to look at and add to the enjoyment. Also, the fact that players have an input into how the bonus feature will work is a great touch. Don’t wait until Halloween to check this game out!
