Witches’ Charm Slot
Witches are well-known for carrying good luck charms around with them but the meaning behind the title of EGT’s Witches’ Charm video pokie is perhaps more to do with the beautiful and charming sorceresses who top the pay table in this 5-reel 15-line game. Alongside these lovely ladies, we see black cats, owls and cauldrons, while a look into the crystal ball can reveal some surprise wins when it completes extra winning combinations.
Other bonuses that can cast a spell over players include free spins with multipliers, a chance to magically transform smaller wins into bigger prizes, (or see them vanish as if by witchcraft), and a progressive jackpot feature that can turn an ordinary spin into a huge payout.
Bet options range from 15 coins to a high limit of 300, and all 15 lines are active at all times, so there’s no option to test things out with a tiny wager, however free Witches’ Charm video pokie games can be found, so that players can see how it works. Wins from most symbols are created in the standard format of landing matching ones across a payline on connected reels from the left side, and the longer the line, the higher the prizes.
Playing Witches’ Charm
There’s a magical forest peeking out from behind the reels of this game, but above the trees, players will see the 4 jackpots slowly rising in value, while underneath is the set of control buttons. Like most EGT games, it’s been very thoughtfully designed and is a good-looking online casino pokie where animations are smooth and graphics crisp and clear.

A review of the pay table shows that the regular high card symbols 9 through to A will tend to turn up frequently, as they create the lower-value wins. A t a 1-coin per line bet, the 9 pays between 2 coins and 100 when landing across 2 to 5 reels on a line, while the 10, J, and Q each return wins of between 5 and 100. K and A symbols are worth a maximum of 125 coins and then the unique picture symbols start with the owl and black cat, with a run of either being valued at between 15 and 250 coins.
A cauldron pays out 400 coins for a full line and the two slightly attractive and yet slightly scary witches are each worth 2 coins when landing on reels 1 and 2, while 3, 4 or 5 of a kind pays 25, 125 or 750 in that order. Any of these values will be doubled if the crystal ball wild symbol helps to complete a combination by acting as one of these symbols, so there’s up 200 coins for the low-paying cards, or a big 1500 if it helps make up a line of 5 witch symbols. It’s also a high-value icon on its own, paying out wins of between 10 coins and the top prize in this game of 10,000 when filling a payline.
Free Spins Bonus
The wild isn’t able to act as the witches’ house symbol as this is a scatter that pays between 30 and 7,500 coins, while also triggering a free spins round when 3 or more turn up at once. 15 spins are awarded and should players get any wins during these games, the base value will be tripled, while seeing 3 or more scatters again will result in another 15 spins being added on to the total.
Other Features
The option to play a double or nothing gamble feature is given with any win of less than 525 coins, and players who take up the offer will see a playing card flashing from red to black, winning the gamble if they correctly predict what colour it will be and losing the triggering prize if they get it wrong.
If the random Jackpot Cards round is awarded, then they will see 12 playing cards lying face down and by clicking a card, the suit is revealed. Once 3 of the same suit are found, the jackpot connected to it is won, and these can range from the lower value Club award to the top-paying Spade prize.
The Verdict
This appealing online pokie has a lot going in its favour, as it covers the popular theme of magic and witchcraft while also having some potentially magical bonus features. The wild multiplier is a real treat, and having wins tripled in the free spins round is an added reward, although if the wild symbol completes a line in the bonus games, the tripled win won’t be multiplied yet again.
Any punters who like the looks of this casino game online, could be cackling all the way to the bank if the right symbols line up for them.
