The highest-paying symbol is the wild symbol, which pays up to 2,500x your bet for 5 matching symbols on a payline. This wild also symbol stands in for all the other symbols on the game, except the three coloured potion bottles, to create more potential winning combinations.

The second-best symbols are the gold coin and the Balthazar symbol, which both award up to 2,000x your bet for 5 matching symbols. The box of three potions and the ‘wonder potion s’ book both pay up to 1,500x your bet for 5 matching symbols, while the high cards award the lowest payouts. The Ace and King both pay up to 1,000x your bet and the Queen, Jack and 10 all pay up to 500x your bet for 5 matching symbols on a payline.

The three types of coloured potions all award a different free spins bonus.

If you hit 2 coloured potion bottles on reels 1 and 2 you can also trigger the gamble game. You are awarded a certain amount of free spins, depending on which of the three potions is active. You can either collect your bonus prize or gamble all or part of it. If you choose to gamble and a third potion bottle lands on reel 3 the gamble screen appears again to give more free spins.

At any point, Balthazar can appear to award random potion bonuses to turn a loss into a win! The ‘potions wild’ symbol adds wilds to the reels, the ‘magic re-spin’ gives you an automatic re-spin with a guaranteed win, the ‘snake eye’ potion shuffles the reels to award a win, the ‘déjà vu’ potion rewinds the reels to find a potion, and the ‘Dr Burns’ burns off a symbol to reveal a winning symbol beneath.

Balthazar’s Wild Emporium is great fun with a weird and wonderful theme and many different bonus features. The atmosphere, graphics and sound effects are entertaining and will suit fans of magical themes. Balthazar appears regularly at the side of the screen in his maroon suit outfit to award magical bonuses, such as extra wilds.

The potions free spins rounds will certainly take a while to trigger as you need 5 symbols on the screen at once, but most players will enjoy the magical forest theme so much that the time passes quickly while you wait for the bigger rewards from Balthazar.
