Wild Cauldron Sneak Preview
Quickspin has already got off to a great start in 2020 with the release of its pirate-themed Skulls Up! slot. The provider’s next new release is the spooky Wild Cauldron, an exciting slot that’s played on an extra-large grid and comes packed with plenty of special features.
The theming of Wild Cauldron is very well done indeed. The slot’s set in a witch’s lair high up in some sort of tower on a dark night, with the starry sky and full moon seen in the distance. The reels take centre stage, of course, and directly beneath them is a cauldron full of bright green potion. On either side are various objects and tools belonging to the witch, such as a telescope, a crystal ball, candles and a spell book. Maybe now the likes of 888 will include Quickspin in their games and improve some of its signup bonus offers which you can review online before registering.
When you start playing, the grid has four rows and six reels. There aren’t any set pay lines as such. Instead, the slot uses the all-ways-win mechanic. This means that to win, you simply need to land matching symbols on consecutive reels, starting with the leftmost reel. During the base game, there are a huge 4,096 ways to win.
Believe it or not, the number of ways to win can get even higher thanks to one of the slot’s main features. Whenever you win, the Locking Symbol Tumble feature kicks in. All of the winning symbols remain where they are, and all non-winning symbols vanish from the grid. The empty gaps that are left behind are then filled by new symbols falling from above in a tumble sequence.
This gives you the chance to win again. In fact, there’s no limit to how many consecutive wins you can land from this feature. Every consecutive win adds an extra row to the top of the grid. A maximum of four rows can be added. Once the grid has eight rows, the number of ways to win is an incredibly huge 262,144. If symbols fall but no new winning combination is produced, the number of rows is reset to four.
Should a wild symbol appear during a tumble sequence, the value of the slot’s win multiplier will increase by x1. It starts off at x1 and can reach as high as x7, giving your wins a lot more value. Once the Locking Symbol Tumble feature comes to an end, the value of the multiplier is reset to x1.
Wild Cauldron also has a free spins round that’s triggered whenever four or more Bonus Scatter symbols appear during a tumble sequence. The number of free spins you receive depends on how many symbols trigger the feature:
– 4 Bonus Scatter Symbols = 8 Free Spins
– 5 Bonus Scatter Symbols = 10 Free Spins
– 6 Bonus Scatter Symbols = 12 Free Spins
While you’re using free spins, landing four or more Bonus Scatters gives you an extra two free spins.
Wild Cauldron looks great thanks to its detailed, high-quality theming and is also lots of fun to play. With thousands of ways to win, free spins, multipliers and wilds, there are lots of reasons to play. Check out the slot when it comes to your favorite Quickspin casino.
