Wizard Shop slot review (Push Gaming)

Once again, I am looking at Wizard Shop, a Push Gaming slot with a pinch of magic

The exciting background sounds nicely complement this fairy tale themed slot. And that makes me want to start playing, like now!

The slot has both a Wizard Wild Feature and a Wizard Shop Feature, both of which can turn out very nicely.

I am curious to see what other magic this wizard has in store.

Abracadabra, and let the games begin…

Excellent payout rate of 97%

The game has a great payout rate of 97 % with a medium to high variance. While playing, you will get small prizes every once in a while, and now and then again, there will be an anomaly (as in much bigger).

How does the Wizard Shop slot work?

The game consists of 5 reels and 6 rows.  This slot has a minimum bet of $€ 0.25 per spin, so also fun for beginners to try it out.

The maximum bet tops out at $€ 100. This video slot has 50 fixed paylines.

Symbols and payouts

The symbols in the game are the wizard, the book and the hourglass. Apart from that, there are magic potions with the colours purple, blue and green. Lastly, there are the low-value symbols in the shape of gemstones coloured red, yellow and purple.

The gems pay out 1 x your bet with five the same ones. The magic potions will net you 3 x to 5 x your bet. The hourglass will get you 6 x your bet with a 5-of-a-kind — the book and the wizard 8 x your stake. In contrast to the other symbols, the wizard pays out, starting at just two symbols.

The Wild symbol is called the Wizard Wild; it’s the wizard symbol in gold. This replaces all symbols except for the scroll and the treasure chest. You only see the Wild during the Wizard Wild Feature. This Wild also pays out nicely, starting at two symbols.

5-of-a-kind are worth a goodly 15 x your bet.

Wizard Wild Feature

Both in the primary game and the bonus feature, we have the Wizard Wild Feature. As soon as a whole reel is filled with wizard symbols, it will change into an Expanded Wild. All other wizard symbols on the rest of the reels will also transform into a Wizard Wild.

Bonus Coin Collection Feature

While playing, you will see at the top left-hand side of the reels a piggy bank for coins.

During your play, you can collect gold and silver coins. They can appear randomly with spins and are added to the bonus bank. These points come in real handy during the Wizard Shop feature. More about that later

Extra options

In the game, you can use the spacebar as a spin button. You can also change the spin speed to Turbo Mode, an accelerated spin.

Free spin bonus: build your bonus

The scatter symbol is the paper scroll. In the primary game, it only appears on reel 1, 3, and 5. To trigger the Wizard Shop feature, you need 3 of these, and it will also get you extra coins in the coin bank.

These coins are now going to come in handy as you may now arrange your own bonus game. You receive 10 free spins and can add some fun extra’s to go with these.

Added Wilds

Buy extra Wilds for the game with your coins.

This Wild symbol is recognizable by its blue Wild lettering. This one also pays out, starting at two symbols. So, five symbols will get you 15 x your bet paid out. Every upgrade level will add 50 extra Wilds.

• Level 1 – 50 extra Wilds
• Level 2 – 100 extra Wilds
• Level 3 – 150 extra Wilds
• Level 4 – 200 extra Wilds
• Level 5 – 250 extra Wilds

Wizard multiplier

Hand in your coins and add Multipliers to your free spins.

With every upgrade level, an x 2 multiplier is added.

• Level 1 – x 2
• Level 2 – x 4
• Level 3 – x 6
• Level 4 – x 8
• Level 5 – x 10

Scatter prizes

Exchange your coins for scatter prizes and receive your bet back 1 x or more as soon as a treasure chest lands on the reels.

The size of the payout depends on the upgrade level.

• Level 1 – 1 x your bet
• Level 2 – 2 x your bet
• Level 3 – 3 x your bet
• Level 4 – 4 x your bet
• Level 5 – 5 x your bet

I can hear you thinking: ‘What’s up with these levels?’ Plain and simple, if you have enough coins in your bank, you can make multiple purchases. Say, for example, that you buy the Added Wilds twice. That means you are on level 2, and 100 Wilds are added.

The Wizard Shop Feature cannot be retriggered during the feature itself.

If you are a real fan of this do – it – yourself bonus packet, you might want to have a look at Alchymedes, a slot by Yggdrasil as well. Coincidentally that theme is quite close to that of the Wizard Shop with different magic potions by a chemist.

Can you find the right ingredients and start a party?

Our verdict on the Wizard Shop video slot

Push Gaming’s The Wizard Shop slot is a multi-faceted game wherein the wizard has pulled out many magic tricks. There is no time to get bored. In the beginning, it might all seem a bit like Hocus Pocus, but you soon figure out everything that is going on.

What I also find a mega plus is that you can create your bonus. Add a dash of Wilds, some multipliers, and finish it with some treasure chests.

Stir for a moment, and voilà, your own homemade bonus feature. A- MAZ- ING!!

I will certainly be back to try these dark arts again. Will you?

3.7 out of 5 stars
