Lucky Witch Pokie
Although Lucky Witch is a seasonal pokie, themed around Halloween, the combination of a quality design and no less than 4 bonus games on top of a free spins round, should make this an appealing title to try out at any time of the year.
Anyone who is expecting the traditional old hag of a witch to feature in this game is in for a treat, as our lucky witch is a flame-haired beauty who seems to have forgotten to get dressed before heading out on her broomstick and while the rest of the symbols may not be so alluring, they still look pretty good, with images of pumpkins, potions, cats and lizards.
It’s a 5-reel game that has 15 paylines, with a bet range from as little as 0.01 to as much as 300.00, although to activate all lines and therefore claim all winning combinations that land on the reels, players should look to stake at least 0.09 per spin and adjust up from there to suit their budgets.
There’s not much of a background image to the game, with just a few crooked trees and a full moon behind the reels which take up the whole screen and there’s just enough room at the sides to view the payline indicators. Above the reels is the game title and below are the control buttons, while players will want to see what they can win for each combination of symbols just need to click the View Pays button to find out the details.
Each symbol is displayed next to information about how many multiples of the coins staked per line will be won whenever 3 or more identical ones land across a line that has been activated. The line will need to start from the left reel, and the symbols will need to be on adjacent ones to create a winning combination.
Lower value symbols include the pumpkin that’s worth 6x, 15x or 100x when 3, 4 or 5 land across a line, and moving up the scale we see crystals, magic potions, a magic scroll complete with a spider crawling across it and a gargoyle who pays 10x, 40x or 200x the coins per line when he lands.
Bigger wins come with the animal symbols like the lizard and owl, with the black cat being the highest paying creature, valued at 20x, 75x or 500x and our bewitching witch paying out 40x, 150x and 1000x when landing across a line.

Bonus Features
The Lucky Witch logo is a wild symbol although it only substitutes for the higher value ones to help create winning combinations. On the plus side however, the value of any win is doubled by the wild, and it will be stacked across a reel to make it more likely that a line will be completed.
A bottle of blue potion is a scatter symbol which will reward players with 15x the total stake when just 2 of them land anywhere on the reels, while landing 5 at once will be worth 3000x. Any 3 or more will also be the trigger for a free spins round which sees a lucky 13 spins play out.
The Mystery Bonus symbol comes complete with a cauldron filled with green slime and the odd eyeball floating in it. It launches a Mystery Bonus round when landing on reels 1, 3 and 5 at the same time, with any of 4 games being triggered.
In the Magic Potion Bonus, players see the witch surrounded by 12 bottles, and they just need to pick them, collecting prizes until they hit a green skull and crossbones symbol that ends the round, or they find a Win All bottle.
The Pumpkin Bonus is a game where players choose 3 pumpkins and can take the prize on offer or change their mind and go for a bigger win.
In the Secret Vault game, player pick 3 of the 12 symbols on a door but won’t see what they have won just yet. The 9 unselected symbol prizes will be revealed and then players pick 1 of the hidden symbols to find their final prize.
Last up is the Spell Book Bonus in which players pick 1 of the 3 books, with the chance of a magic imp turning up and increasing the value of the pick. Up to 52x the triggering bet can be won in this round.
