Witches Wealth is a 9-payline video slot which runs on the Microgaming software platform. The game’s wild card is the Wild Witch symbol, while the scatter is the Bat icon. Players are welcome to test the slot on this page for free or choose any of the listed Microgaming casinos to play the game for real money.
To practice magic alongside the powerful witch, players should first adjust their bet. The +/- buttons beneath the coin symbol alter the denomination, ranging from 0.01 to 0.25. “Select Lines” chooses the number of active paylines, while “Select Coins” selects the number of coins to bet. “Spin” initiates the game and “Bet Max” plays it at the highest wager. Pressing “Expert” and then “Autoplay” spins the reels multiple times uninterrupted.
When 3 or 4 Mr. Twinkles icons emerge on an active payline, the Spinning Wand Bonus game is initiated. Players can win up to 1,600 coins in this game or they can activate the Flying Rescue Bonus game. Players spin a wheel consisting of 6 segments to win bonus win amounts. 5 segments have a random bonus and the 6th segment activates the Flying Rescue Bonus game.
5 Mr. Twinkles symbols trigger the Flying Rescue Bonus game, wherein players can win up to 16,200 coins. Players choose objects to reveal arbitrary bonus sums and by clicking on Mr. Twinkles players uncover their won bonus amount. The Witch needs to fly across the city and avoid falling objects in order to rescue Mr. Twinkles. If the Witch does not reach Mr. Twinkles, players are paid a random bonus amount. If she catches him, the amount won is tripled.
A jackpot of 6,000 coins will be awarded once 5 wild cards have emerged on an active payline.

This is one more of Microgaming games that I have never played before. My first impression of Witches Wealth was not too bad, because I liked the graphics and the icons in the game, which are well presented and nicely rendered, much better looking than most other games of the same age. Yet, I am totally amazed at how Microgaming could have utilised such a game with nice graphics purely for a very simple basic game. It just doesn't make any sense to me. Witches Wealth should have been a 15 or 20 paylines game, with Free spins and Bonus features, which would have made it into a much more popular game than it is now.
Serena the Witch is the Wild symbol in the game, paying a nice 6000x the line bet for getting 5 of them, but only does substitution for other symbols except Mr Twinkles Bonus symbol (the blue cat). This very dumb Wild symbol should have at least double all wins with it, or becoming stacked or expanded with any wins. The Bat is the Scatter symbol, paying 50x the total bet for 5 of them, but getting 3 or more of the Bat symbols do not trigger any Free Spins game, because there aren't any free spins in the game. What a shame. The blue cat, Mr Twinkles, is the Bonus symbol, a dumb symbol that doesn't pay anything for itself, but getting 3 or 4 of them on any active payline trigger the Spinning Wand Bonus feature. Get 5 of the Bonus symbols to trigger the Flying Rescue Bonus feature, which can also be won from the Spinning Wand Bonus feature. As for the other symbols, the Owl pays 2000x, the Books pay 300x, and the rest pay from 250x to 75x, all per line bet for getting 5 of each kind. An average paytable.
The Spinning Wand Bonus feature pays either a Coins win of 1x up to 8x total bet, or award the Bonus feature, which is the Flying Rescue Bonus feature. The Coins prizes of 1x and 2x the total bet amount are simply ridiculously low, not worth at all for getting a Bonus feature. In the Flying Rescue Bonus feature, clicking on Mr Twinkles award an initial Mystery Prize of up to 5400 coins. Mr Twinkles is suddenly whizzed away to the other building on the opposite side, and Serena the Witch must then get on her flying broomstick and rescue the cat. All along the way to the building, there'll be lots of falling items that can knock Serena off her broomstick, thereby failing in her rescue mission. Don't ask me where all those huge things are falling off from, maybe from some UFOs or something, and they are like falling hippos and elephants! You'll be lucky if Serena can rescue Mr Twinkles. Whatever it is, this rescue mission is only suitable for kids, not suitable for adults to play! Sheesh!
A game like this Witches Wealth makes me wonder if those design guys at Microgaming actually have kids mentality! Come on, such a silly stupid rescue mission for adults? There's only one thing that I do like about Witches Wealth, and that is the nice icons. Other than that, it makes me feel so very silly! Getting 5 Bonus symbols would pay absolutely nothing! The Spinning Wand Bonus feature paid me 1x my bet amount 5 out of 7 times. The only Flying Rescue mission that I managed to get paid me an equally lousy 18x my bet amount. The whole game simply sucks! If not for the paytable values, I would rate this game with just 1 star!
