The Magic Cauldron Review

Pragmatic Play releases a grid slot once in a while, and The Magic Cauldron: Enchanted Brew is more akin to Play’n Go’s Reactoonz than their own classic, Sweet Bonanza. The game is all about landing lengthy cascades, which triggers modifiers to help keep your winning streak going. Max out the modifier meter to get to the most lucrative one in the end, which can lead to a total win up to 5,000x your stake.

There is no bonus round to look forward to here, and the high volatility translates to longer grinding sessions between modifier triggers. The gameplay flows smoothly, and the concept of mixing up an alchemic brew that hopefully turns your session into a lucrative effort has been thoroughly developed. Visually, the game is solid also, but you’ll need a bit of patience to appreciate what’s on offer here.

The Magic Cauldron: Enchanted Brew Features

The Cluster Pays engine combines well with the Cascading Wins mechanic. Whenever between 5 and 15+ matching symbols connect in a cluster, the winning symbols are removed from the grid and collected in the left-hand side cauldron. Symbols drop down from above to fill the gaps, and the process repeats as long as you keep winning.

You need to collect at least 25 winning symbols in a single cascading sequence to mark off one of the 5 stars above the cauldron.

Each star you highlight awards 1 random modifier in the queue, and they play out at the end of cascading sequences to help prolong your winning streak.

If you manage to fill the star meter by collecting 125 winning symbols in a single sequence, you will first get 4 random modifiers from the list below:

• Befuddlement – transform all high-value symbols into low value symbols.
• Invisibrew – removes all low-value symbols to trigger a new symbol drop.
• Enlarging Ale – awards a randomly placed 3x3 or 4x4 mega symbol.
• Balm of Transfiguration – transforms all instances of 1 randomly chosen low-value symbol into a high-value symbol.

The 5th modifier is randomly chosen from 2 alternatives as follows:

• Potion of Darkness – removes all low-value symbols, and only high-value symbols will land for the rest of the sequence.
• Unicorn Dust – awards 3 or 4 Unicorn Wilds, and these start with multiplier values of x1 or x2. The wilds move around per cascade, and the multipliers increase by +1 when they’re part of a winning combo. The multiplier can go as high as 20x per wild.

In addition to the above, you also have a couple of randomly triggered wild features. The Elixir Wild feature may add between 4 and 8 wilds randomly to the grid after any given non-winning spin. The Moon Seed Mark feature highlights random positions per spin with a blue frame.

When you win with 5+ marked positions, 2 wilds are generated in the empty positions after the winning symbols are removed.

Review Summary

The Magic Cauldron: Enchanted Brew has the same basic setup as Play’n Go’s megahit, Reactoonz. There is no bonus round, so the game is all about generating lengthy cascades. This again triggers modifiers that might take you all the way to the enhanced fifth modifier. If you come to this game expecting to be dazzled by a myriad of modifier action being paraded in front of your mesmerized eyes, you will be disappointed.

You’re in for a pretty hardcore grind most of the time, with low-value payouts and “close-calls” that can be frustrating. It can easily take 50 to 80 spins before you see a single modifier, and even that is no guarantee for a larger win. Overall, it’s a pretty solid grid slot though, and the magic brew concept has been thoroughly developed. You just need to get into it with the right mindset, that’s all.

Pros

• Winning symbols collection
• Triggers 5 unique modifiers
• 2 random wild modifiers
• Win up to 5,000x your stake

Cons

• Not for impatient players
