Slot Details
Cauldron is a video slot with five reels, three rows and 20 fixed pay lines. Wins are awarded for three to five matching symbols landing on a line from left to right. You can venture into the Algroth caves on desktop, tablet of mobile from 0.10 to 50 credits per spins. The game has high volatility (79/100) with an RTP of 96.13%.
Loading the game will see you entering the deep caves of Algroth where you will be encountering the wacky wizard as he is preparing his latest potions. Some of the ingredients such as magic mushrooms and half-eaten apples features as symbols on the frameless reels. Enter the free spins and the cauldron will start bubbling as low-value symbols are removed and fall into it to complete the mysterious potion.
The pay symbols start at the low wend with bitten apples with a worm, a parsley-like root vegetable, red magic mushrooms, Venus Flytrap plants, and a magic black berry, awarding 1x to 1.2 your bet for a single five of a kind. They are followed by five wacky creatures – bees, spiders, bats, frogs and rats. Hit five on a line to win 1.8x to 10x your stake. A golden icon marked with the word itself is the wild, appearing on reels two to four only and substituting for all regular symbols. Lastly, a potion bottle acts as the scatter.
Cauldron Slot Features
Peter&Sons is deepening its ties to Yggdrasil’s YG Masters platform with another great-looking slot creation with their signature comical touch. Yggdrasil introduced the program a few years ago to allow smaller studios to host their games on the platform and thus reach a wider audience. Following the “Book of…” style Johnan Legendarian, Peter&Sons is taking us into the mysterious world of wizards, potions and hidden treasures. Reason enough to take a closer look.
The base game seems rather nonchalant although the animations keep the comical touch. To score big wins, you will be relying on hitting three or more potion bottle scatters to trigger 10 Free Spins. During the feature, scoring any win with a low-value symbol will see it removed, progressively leaving you with more premiums on the reels. In turn, hitting any win with a premium will see an x2 multiplier attached to the symbol with all following wins being doubled. Each upgrade will award +1 free spin.
While spinning the reels, keep an eye on the progress meter on the gauge to the side of the game window. Any scatter appearing on a spin in the base game will add +1 point to the meter. The collection is bet sensitive and will be saved for each stake size. Accumulating 750 points will trigger 10 Super Free Spins. Before the start of the round, all low-value symbols are removed from the reels and all premiums are upgraded with the x2 multiplier. The feature cannot be retriggered.
Final Verdict
Peter&Sons have carved themselves a niche for slots with a comical touch. Be it Rome: The Conquerors or Robin: Sherwood Marauders, they all mirror the creative drive to built something out-of-the-ordinary. The distribution deals with Oryx Gaming and Yggdrasil Gaming is giving them the necessary exposure to been recognized in the increasingly crowded iGaming industry and subsequently sees their games appearing in significantly more casino lobbies.
Cauldron fits well into the comical touch category while offering simple gameplay with high volatility and a good chance for mega wins in the bonus feature, although the max win is on the lower side.
