“Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble” Are you brave enough to go spinning in the woods all alone?

Booming Games has gone spooky with their latest game ‘Witches Wild Brew’. But all may not be as it seems… A smoking cauldron, far from bringing dread, brings reward, as it unleashes wilds across the reels. Sinister ravens bring choices to the player, empowering them with coin, while Bursting Wild Multipliers add to the rewards. Keep your wits about you though, as the woods get even creepier at night, while you play out your dynamic Free Spins; willing them to go on as you win additional spins; while every fibre of your body screams “Runnnnnnnnn”.

This 5×4, medium high volatility slot, has a whopping 40 paylines. Coupled with a random pick & click feature where you can win an immediate 30 times your bet; the game is full of differing wilds to match the spirit of our 3 witches. Just be careful not to become bewitched.

Shane Cotter, Booming Games’ Director of Product, says “This is without a doubt one of the most fun and spooky ‘halloween games’ I’ve played to date. The high volatility coupled with the huge win potential of the Bursting Wild Multipliers makes this a game to be loved by players long after the Halloween season has passed”.
