Witchcraft Academy is a slot from NetEnt that has a very recognisable theme.Over the years, the Swedish software giant has proven its ability to create slots based on immensely popular films, and they do it again here, just a little more unofficially.
About the slot
This five reel, 20 fixed payline slot is playable from 20 to £200 a spin and is very clearly based more than loosely on the Harry Potter franchise, even the fonts are noticeably reminiscent.The slot itself is, unsurprisingly, based around a school for witches and wizards, and despite the similarity to the hugely popular JK Rowling stories, this is also a beautiful looking slot game.You join a young wizard, Earthan, and a young witch, Efora, as they search for magical treasures with the backdrop of a mystical and magical school in the background.The students come with their pet elements, an owl and a dragon, while the lower values on the reels are represented by card suits shaped potion bottles.Earthan is the most lucrative symbol, paying out 20x your stake if you land five on a payline.The wild symbol switches for all but the scatter symbol, and does not appear on the middle reel.
Gameplay
Three or more scatter symbols will trigger the Element Shot Bonus feature, which you can choose to play with either of the main two characters.You get a shot for each scatter you land, and there’s a win of between 10 and 200x your stake up for grabs, If the shot hits an Armour Guard, all symbols around that symbol will be cleared.If the shot hits a scatter symbol, you will trigger the free spins feature that offers various spins and multipliers.The theme may be familiar, but this is an excellent slot with many exciting features.
