Potion Spells

Potion Spells Review

This game is a surprising release with more than meets the eye. It takes place on a large playing field with 7 reels, 7 rows, and Cluster payouts. To get a win, you have to get 5 matching and touching symbols on the board.

Thematically, this game is all about throwing some ingredients into a giant cauldron and hoping for the best. That’s nothing new, of course, but the game’s designers came up with colorful visuals, and the game just feels great to play.

Mathematically speaking, Potion Spells is a high volatility game, but its jackpot is massive, clocking in at 12,000x your bet. The game’s betting range then runs from £0.10 to £100 per spin, which should please essentially everyone. Finally, the theoretical RTP of Potion Spells is 96.25%, which is a notch above average.

Potion Spells Game Features

Let’s now turn our attention to the game’s paytable. It has a total of 8 pay symbols, and you can look forward to 4 low pays and the same number of high pays. For low pays, there are potions of various colors, and you can get up to 15x your bet for a large cluster. For high pays, meanwhile, there are eyes, purple feathers, mushrooms, and frogs. Frogs are worth the most, and you’ll get a massive 750x payout if you manage to find a Cluster of 15 or more.

Aside from pay symbols, there are also Wilds that can substitute for any of the pay symbols in Clusters.

Kicking off the gameplay, we have Cascading Wins that allow you to get multiple wins in a single spin. All winning symbols are automatically removed from the board and replaced with new ones, with the process continuing until you fail to find a new win.

This then goes hand in hand with the Progress Bar feature, which starts at 100 points and which decreases by one point for each winning symbol that gets removed from the playing field. Each set of 25 removed symbols triggers a random feature. There are four of them available, and they are called Detonation, Promotion, Separation, and Reduction.

The Detonation feature turns up to 6 symbols into Wilds and then detonates symbols around them. The Promotion feature then turns symbols into matching ones, while the Reduction feature removes all low pays from the board. The Separation feature is the most intriguing of them all, as it creates a Wild symbol in the middle of the board and then also comes up with symbol transformations.

If you manage to take the Progress Bar all the way down to 0, you’ll trigger the Pot feature, which will place a large 3x3 Wild symbol onto the playing field. This will be followed by two 2x2 Wilds and nine 1x1 Wilds, so the potential is immense!

Landing 4 matching symbols in a 2x2 block turns them into Big symbols that double all wins in which they feature, which is a pretty nice detail.

Next, there’s the Backlit symbols feature that lets a number of low pays shine after a spin. If those symbols then form a winning combination, they will leave 2 Wilds behind, increasing your chances of getting another win in the process.

Any no-win spin can then trigger the random Second Chance feature. When that happens, you’ll get a random number of symbols turned into Wilds for another shot at winning.

And, to round things off, you can also use the Buy Bonus feature and just purchase the aforementioned Pot feature for 100x your bet. Note that this decreases the game’s theoretical RTP to 96.02%.

Review Summary

To sum things up, Potion Spells is an excellent game that we can wholeheartedly recommend to all fans of complex Cluster games. It has great graphics, a plethora of nice gameplay features, and you can win as much as 12,000x your bet in one go!
