This interesting video slot has several features which include a wild and a scatter symbols, a Free Spins bonus game and a Mystery bonus game.
Wild in the game is the Lucky Witch symbol and it can act as a substitution for only four symbols which include Witch symbol, Cat symbol, Owl symbol and a Lizard symbol. Furthermore, this symbol doubles the pay-out of any combo it completes as a wild symbol and creates its own winning combos when multiple symbols appear on an enabled pay-line. Also, this symbol creates a wild symbol stack.
The potion bottle is a scatter symbol which completes a winning combo when two or more of these appear on the reels. Wins are calculated by multiplying the scatter combination pay-out by the total number of regular coins bet. When you land three or more of the potions symbols you will trigger Free Spins feature.
Once you activate the Free Spins bonus round you will be awarded with 13 spins. During free spins the Lucky Witch symbol acts as a wild, multiplier symbol and creates a wild stack. Free Spins can be re-triggered during the bonus game and any additional free spins you may win, will be added to the remaining number of free spins. Also, the Mystery bonus game can be activated during this feature.
If you happen to land three Cauldron Mystery Bonus symbols scattered anywhere on the reels 1, 3 and 5 you will activate Mystery bonus game. During this bonus game you can win up to 30.000 coins and once you hit three Cauldrons you will be randomly awarded one of four games: Magic Potion, Pumpkin, Spell Book or Secret Vault Bonus Game. All the bets and pay-lines in the bonus game are the same as the spin which activated the bonus round.
In the Magic Potion bonus game you are displayed 12 bottles and behind each there is a random bonus win amount. If you find Win All bottle, all hidden bonus amount are added to your balance and if you reveal Stop bottle the game will end.
Pumpkin bonus game displays 5 pumpkins and behind each pumpkin there is a random bonus amount you can win. Once you pick a pumpkin the bonus amount will be revealed and you will be given the choice to keep your win amount or to pick again. The maximum number of picks is 3.

What do I like about this Lucky Witch game? Hmm. Firstly, from first glance, those beautiful witches. Wonder if real witches are as beautiful and shapely as them. I guess not. This can only happen in Hollywood and in games. Witches in horror movies are usually shown as 'not beautiful' and always looking evil and dastardly. In comedy serials, yes, witches can be very pretty and very suave looking, to attract viewers of course. Well, if the witches here aren't shown as pretty as they are, there would probably be less players playing the game. Hehehe.
The logo 'Lucky Witch' is the Wild symbol, it doubles all wins with it, it substitutes other symbols except for the Scatter and Bonus symbols, it comes stacked on all reels, but, it doesn't pay anything for itself. Damn, why must there always be something taken away from them? Why can't they pay 5000x the line bet for 5 of them as usual? Players are again being short-changed by you-know-who! The Scatter symbol pays 200x the total bet for 5 of them, and getting 3, 4 or 5 of these Scatters trigger 13 free spins without any multiplier. Yet another damn! The Witch, the highest paying symbol amongst the regular paying symbols, pays 200x the total bet, and becomes an Extra Wild in the Free Spins game. If this is to replace the missing payouts for the Wilds, then it isn't good enough. The other symbols in the game pay from 100x to 20x the line bet for 5 of each kind. A very low paytable.
The Mystery Bonus game, triggered by Mystery Bonus symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5, but can also be triggered in the Free Spins game, randomly awards one of 4 pick-and-win games, the Magic Potion Bonus, the Pumpkin Bonus, the Secret Vault Bonus and the Spell Book Bonus games. In the Magic Potion Bonus game, pick bottles to win cash prizes. Get the 'Win All' symbol and win all the prizes at once. Get the Skull and the game ends. In the Pumpkin Bonus game, pick a pumpkin to win an instant cash prize. if not satisfied with the amount, you have 2 more chances to try and pick a better prize. The third pick would be the final prize. In the Secret Vault Bonus game, pick 3 out of 12 symbols. The unselected symbols then unhide their prizes, leaving behind the 3 symbols that you had picked. Pick one of the 3 to win the final prize. In the Spell Book Bonus game, pick 1 book out of 3 to win a multiplier. A Magic Lamp may appear to increase the prizes, up to a maximum of 52x the total bet amount.
Well, despite having those beautiful Stacked Wilds on all reels in the game, they have not materialised effectively enough for me to offer any good big wins so far. This is rather disappointing and very disheartening for me, although I know lots of players out there have gotten good wins from this Lucky Witch game. Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised at all, because where Microgaming games are concerned, my luck has always been very very low with any of them.
