The Alchemist's Spell

Created in July 2014 by The Gaming Lab for Playtech, The Alchemist’s Spell is a five reel video slot that houses a 243 Way Wins scheme, where the action revolves around an old scientist who has set out to turn base metals into gold using the ancient secrets of alchemy. Staying true to the prevailing theme, the game has more than enough ways to help players strike it rich, featuring three Wild symbols with special multipliers attached as well as a quite impressive Free Spins round.

The Alchemist’s Spell is one of the first games appearing under the Playtech portfolio awarding payouts according to the 243 Way Wins feature that was introduced by Microgaming a long time ago. For those unfamiliar with it, the important thing to note is that game symbols pay out when positioned on adjacent reels, regardless of their position. Another great news for casino gamers is that The Gaming Lab slot is equipped with no less than three Wild symbols that can seriously improve your line wins. Bronze, Silver and Gold icons all act as substitutes, appearing on reels 2, 3 and 4 respectively and multiplying all subsequent payouts by x2, x3 and x5.

Due to the Way Wins scheme, players are required to wager 30 coins per each spin of the reels, and while coin value ranges from $0.01 to $25, the total bet varies from $0.30 to staggering $750. Simply use right and left arrows to select the size of your wager, and click on Info in order to pay a visit to the paytable. Autoplay option is supported as well. Given that there are three Wild symbols coming with special multipliers to improve your wins, payouts on regular game icons before any special features are triggered are more than decent. The Old Alchemist is the highest paying symbol in the game, awarding 5,000 credits when five of these are found anywhere on adjacent reels.

Some nicely designed game symbols certainly enhance the overall gaming experience, with old alchemist, paper scroll, lab apparatus and alchemy book serving as the high-value icons. Six high cards offer much lower payouts, whilst red crystal, gold, silver and bronze are the feature symbols, unlocking special perks and benefits. The Free Spins round is triggered when at least three Red Crystal icons are positioned left to right on adjacent reels, with 10, 15 or 20 free games played depending on the number of symbols that activated the feature. Due to the fact that Wild multipliers can be multiplied by each other, your line wins can be multiplied up to 30 times.
