Charms and Witches Slot

Honestly speaking, I do like playing games with themes on Witches or Halloween, but I hardly ever got lucky on any of them. Maybe those witches have a bad spell on me all the while, or maybe I'm just hallucinating and imagining it all, but whatever it is, it won't stop me from playing any of such games - not until I do get boiled and cooked in that witches cauldron of course, which hasn't happened so far. Got scalded, yes, but cooked, no! Hahaha.

As with most other similarly themed games, this Charms And Witches game too has that similar eerie moonlit night background scenario. In this game, the foreground greets you with the gates to hell, or is that the gates to the witches home and cauldron? Walk in to find out, or simply run away and be a chicken! Hahaha. Hmm, okay, so I walked in, but more like a frozen chicken that couldn't run away, or wouldn't run away, whatever! Hehehe.

After walking in through the gates, what greeted me from thereon wasn't that good at all. Why? Well, 5 Wild symbols only pay 3000x the line bet, 5 Scatters only pay 100x the total bet, and 5 of any other symbol only pay from 500x down to 100x the line bet, so the overall win values aren't that good enough for me. Not only that, the playlines are also fixed and cannot be selected, so that's another thing that I don't like at all. However, I do like that the Wild symbol doubles wins with it, but the 10 free spins could certainly do much better with a higher multiplier than that lousy 2x. They should have been with a 3x multiplier at worst, or with a 5x multiplier on average - anything more than a 5x multiplier would be very good indeed, but you can hardly ever find such good offers anywhere.

During base game play, there is a randomly activated Spooky Bats feature that would turn random symbols into Wild symbols, for extra winning opportunities. This spooky feature occurs more frequently during the free spins, to add a little bit more of 'oomph' into the low paying free spins feature game, but nah, that's still not good enough for me! Getting all 3 of the non-paying Bonus symbols, on reels 2, 3 and 4, awards the Pick Me Bonus game, but this sort of feature has hardly ever been any good to me, so I don't really like it at all. From what I have won so far, this Pick Me Bonus game only paid between 10x up to 27x my bet amount, so that's far from being satisfactory to me.

On the whole, my few plays on this Charms And Witches game have not been of any good, and I certainly found the Free Spins game very hard to trigger! With only 10 free spins and a 2x multiplier to offer, this feature game should occur more frequently for better impact and better entertainment, but it doesn't. Well, this is one more Witches game that failed to impress me.

Combinations are wide, you can win with different lines.

Design and game icons, is it current century? Opening is great, but the main part just like american casinos used to have in 90s.

“NextGen Gaming” is another gaming software developer that wanted to give us this month, a video slot with a theme focused on Halloween celebration.

The name of the slot is “Charms and Witches” and on it, we will find a beautiful witch accompanied by many pretty representative elements of this celebration; it could be said that this is a darkly attractive video slot.

“Charms and Witches” has proved to be a rather amusing slot, and certainly much of the magic of this game arises from its good hit average and generosity of its special features, of which, I think “Pick Me Bonus” it takes the first place in this latter aspect because it happens relatively often and has decent prizes.

Each “Pick Me” symbol hides an instant prize behind, but often, in addition to cash, we gain the opportunity of picking again or simply “win all” prizes behind all the three symbols. I have sometimes come to win prizes up to 35x my total bet on this feature, which I consider a pretty decent payout since these awards are complemented with other interesting features and also with a nice performance during the base game.

On the other hand, there is a wild symbol with the power to double your winnings, a round of 10 free spins where your winnings are multiplied by x2 as well, and finally, a feature called “Spooky Bat Bonus” that happens suddenly both during the base game and during free spins, in which a flock of bats flies over the reels converting one or more symbols into wilds along.

Overall, I think “Charms and Witches” is a pretty solid game and also fair in every aspect; not to mention that time flies while you spin your reels over and over again.

For its good potential to generate profits and be a pretty entertaining game, I think this is one of the video slots you should play this month before you wear your disguise to go to any Halloween party.
