Wizard Slot

Enter a medieval laboratory and try and conjure up a magical haul of coins in Wizard, a 5 reel, 50 payline slot game from Novomatic. Helping you to find the mystical elixir is a bonus feature that awards up to 30 free spins with 16 extra wilds and 3 extra scatters added to the reels. Play, on all devices, from between 50p and £100 per spin. 



Wizard has that classic Novomatic look - set against the backdrop of an alchemist's lab, the reels include A to J playing cards, bubbling cauldrons of potion, flasks full of chemicals, a raven, book of spells, ring and gemstone. The latter two each award payouts of up to 10 times your total stake if you manage to land a 5-in-a-row combination. The bearded wizard is the game's wild - he replaces all other symbols except the scatter - 5wilds in a line awards a payout of 20 times your total stake.

The fantasy theme continues with the scatter which is a dragon - this is by far the most lucrative symbol on view. Landing 3, 4 or 5 of them anywhere on the reels will get you a payout of 5, 25 or 200 times your total stake - it will also trigger the Free Spins feature.

Here you'll be awarded 15 free spins. The extra wrinkle is that you'll see an extra 16 wilds and 3 extra scatters spinning around the reels during the feature, boosting your chances of landing a winner or re-trigger another set of 15 free spins (taking your total to 30).

Wizard is a typical Novomatic powered slot game - it's one of the developer's better offerings as far as visuals go but you'd still be hard pressed to call it a thing of beauty. The action is as fast paced as usual though with the 50 paylines delivering plenty of action. The biggest potential thrills come via the feature though where the extra wilds can make a big impact if they land nicely.

We usually know exactly what we're going to get with a Novomatic game and Wizard keeps to the standard brief. If you like the developer's usual frantic formula and you're looking to cook up plenty of action, then Wizard casts just the right spell. If you want something with more bonus features with a similar theme, Wizard of Oz Ruby Slippers by WMS is worth playing.

At times your bankroll will feel like it's heading to the glue factory - get lucky with the stacked and frozen symbols though and Hold Your Horses can deliver some thoroughbred purses. If you like horses, Playtech’s Frankie Dettori’s Magic Seven is a good option.
