Wizard Shop

Magic is in the air, though you need a bit of coin to get your spells going on properly. The game comes with a non-traditional reel setup, which is nothing but a plus these days. The theme is not exactly underused, but like always the only thing matters is how well it is done, and how the special features and gameplay functions as a whole. At first look, the slot is indeed very promising and comes with the usual quality and dedication to detail we’ve come to expect from Push Gaming.

Theme

Enter a magical shop and witness an array of items, pets, and goodies on sale. The music and audio effects lay on a veil of mystery on the reels, well fitting to the theme at play. The reels come with plenty of symbols that with the subject. Wizards, potions, scrolls, tomes of magic, gems, and the occasional coins all complement the shop of magic. Rarely does a theme work so well.

Betting Options and Functions

The game has the normal five reels, but this time around they come in six rows. To offset this there are fifty different paylines. These combine symbols into winning combinations from left to right, which means that as long as you get at least three similar symbols going from the first reel forwards you are going to land a prize.

Betting is done by selecting a total bet from an array of possible choices, which run from 0.25 to 100 coins per spin. Even the low-level symbols pay out quite decent wins, from 10 to 50 times your bet per payline. The set of medium-value symbols up this to between 20 and 250 times, with the most valuable symbols offering up to 750 times your line bet.

Features

Each spin you take has a chance of landing you some coins. Not real cash in this case, but rather currency for the shop itself. This money can then be used to activate different special features for the free spins. On top of this, you have the Wizard wild, which can transform a whole reel into wilds.

Once you land three bonus scrolls the shop feature begins. You get some coins as an added bonus, so you can purchase some abilities even if you land this feature on your very first spin. You get ten free spins, for which you can buy up to 250 extra wilds, win multipliers of up to ten, as well as upgrade all scatter prices to five times their original value. If you have enough coins you can upgrade all of this features at once. If not, spend your money on the wilds for sure.

Our Take

Wizard Shop is an excellent slot, and we can say that even without landing any wins. The basic gameplay pays out, randomly as usual, and the free spins give some real wins once you get the special features activated. In this slot, it really pays out to play for the long haul. Instead of just wasting your coins in non-winning spins you are all the time gathering possible bonuses.
