Coven Rising Slot

A slot from Pragmatic Play, and it has a witchy theme with one of the weirdest reel layouts ever that I have seen. The min bet is 0.20 per spin, and the slot has a 5000x max win cap, which is decent, I would say.

The slot has a free spins feature where the more scatters you trigger it with, the more free spins you get, and I am giving it credit for that, as I think all slots that have multiplier scatters should be like this to give the player more spins, and in this case 12, 16, 20, 24 free spins. Another positive thing about the slot is that the feature can be re-triggered, and thus each time you get 2 or more scatters you will get 2 more spins, great. When I was giving this slot a go, I had to first do some reading about what the different colored witches do, and some slots are not as complicated as this one.

The graphics here: you have a group of 4 witches, each one with her own colored outfit, green, red, blue, yellow. I mean, it is an unusual slot to have this circle in the middle of the screen, and the witches are using their wands to cast spells.

The music you get is some kind of string instrument, and laughter from some witches is heard throughout too, and each spin the witches are blasting their wands, so that comes with all these sound effects. If the laughter gets annoying, there is the option to turn off sound effects, as they are not needed at all for this game; rather, just have the guitar music on its own. The music during the features is different compared to the base game and has some singing too.

The bonus buy option has two bonuses to buy, the 100x and 200x, and since I am not a fan of bonus buys, I wouldn’t bother with it, but if I were to buy, I would just go with the 100x.

I played the 94.49% R.T.P., and the max R.T.P. is 96.42% so we're talking about almost 2% difference, and I wish more casinos would have the max R.T.P. versions of their slots, but for some reason casinos are choosing the faster way to shear the sheep.

Ante bet is 200% of the normal bet; that is insane. Why make it so high? I think it’s overpriced here. Because of the 4 different witches, there is sometimes a situation where a valuable coin lands on the reels and you need the green witch to do her thing, but when she doesn’t, it’s annoying. The slot is kind of complicated to know what’s going on, and I don’t think I am interested in playing it again.
