Summary:
- NetEnt releases What’s Up Witches slot
- Min/max bet: 0.20/40
- Max payout: 10,180x
NetEnt is leaning fully into modern fantasy culture with the launch of “What’s Up Witches“, a new online slot that reunites magic, mystery, and social media-style attitude into a surprisingly polished casino experience.
The game tells the captivating tale of three young witches named Isadora, Sage, and Sabrina and their struggle to balance their lives as students with the necessity to guard their city against a looming supernatural threat.
If the story reminds you of a classic teen supernatural drama, it’s because it very much resembles one, with its spell books, candles, enchanted symbols, and stylish visuals.
At the center of the experience lies the impressive six-reel layout with symbols landing a 4-6-6-6-6-4 pattern that delivers more than 20,736 ways to win starting with the leftmost reel onwards.
Low-paying symbols are represented by three stone symbols, three pieces of jewelry, and three witches. Land a winning combo of six matching witches, and you will get paid between 2.5x and 5x the bet.
The other pay symbols award between 0.6x and 2x the bet for six OAK. Wilds substitute the rest of the symbols, and they feature the same payout value as the most valuable lady.
Winning combos trigger avalanche mechanics where symbols vanish and make room for fresh ones for multiple consecutive payouts during single spins.
Special Features
The real attraction, however, comes from the magical spell system woven throughout the base game. Different spell symbols can transform sections of the reels into wilds using various patterns and directions.
While some will influence entire rows or columns, others will spread across nearby symbols, generating chain reactions that can produce large combinations and boosted multipliers.
The free spins feature pushes the magical theme even further. Players enter a separate five-by-five grid filled with sticky multipliers ranging from modest values to enormous rewards. A magical orb can randomly trigger additional features during the round, including upgrades, multiplier boosts, extra spins, and collection mechanics that dramatically increase payout potential.
NetEnt has also included several feature buy options, so you can jump straight into the middle of the action.
Despite the playful presentation, the game clearly targets experienced slot fans who enjoy complex mechanics and high-risk gameplay. Its maximum payout reaches more than 10,000 times the original bet, placing it firmly within the high-volatility category.
