Wild Cauldron

Despite the dangerously risky gameplay, Wild Cauldron is a light-hearted, cutesy cartoon affair that works very hard to entertain the player with silly fun. However, even though the designers have gone to considerable trouble to craft the little monsters that populate this slot, they’ve neglected to create any sort of backstory, meaning that the whys, hows and wheres are left entirely to the player’s imagination. Here’s what we do know. The scene of slot appears to be some sort of medieval tower, where the windows give us a glimpse of the starry sky beyond. The room is occupied by a bookcase and reading desk, a telescope, and burning candles.

The dominating feature of the room is a large bubbling cauldron, above which sits our grid. Each symbol on the grid has been custom designed for the slot, and you won’t catch a single card suit or Royal to mar the immersive experience. Peppering the reels are a combination of low-value symbols (five etched rocks in blue, green, orange, yellow and red), and a gang of five high value monster creatures in colors that match the low value rocks. The bright green potion vial is the bonus symbol, while a deep red icon marked with a ‘W’ stands in as the slot’s wild symbol.

This is a feature-rich slot that thrives on a sense of near constant animation. But don’t be fooled by the adorable little monsters, you’ll need your luck to hold out long enough to trigger each of the special features if you’d like to brew up a profit.

At face value the slot offers players the chance to scoop up cash prizes based on 6 reels and 4,096 win ways. Bets can be placed starting at 0.10, and go all the way up to a very healthy 100.00, making room for all kinds of player strategies and budgets.

What won’t appeal across the board is the slot’s high volatility ranking, which might bleed dry those players with smaller bankrolls. The slot’s slightly low 96.09% RTP will serve to alienate these players further. For those willing to brave the potential cold, the lure of prizes up to 21,120 x the stake might serve to keep them warm along the journey. This prize is on offer thanks to a combination of win multipliers and paylines that expand to as much as 262,144 ways to win.
