Play Winning Wizards for Free

Playing this slot machine is as easy as abra-cadabra. All that you need to do is determine how many credit you wish to place and then spin the reels. Magic!

First of all, you will have to choose how many paylines you want to have in play. There are only 5 in total so you won't be confronted with a huge tangle of lines over the reels like you do with some slot machines. Simply click the “Bet One” button to add a pay line and you will see the numbers at the side of the reels light up as each line is activated. Another thing to bear in mind is the fact that the paylines run both backwards and forwards – so effectively there are twice as many ways to win.

After you have selected your paylines, you just have to alter the size of the bet for each active line by clicking the (-) and (+) buttons on the control panel. The available wager amounts per line are 0.25, 0.50, 1.00, 2.00, and 5.00, which are all multiplied by the number of paylines in play. So, if our maths is correct then the highest amount which can be bet on any one spin is 25.00.

Now, that is not a very large bet amount by any stretch of the imagination. But it is perfectly adequate for beginners and casual punters who want to play without taking too many risks.

Winning Wizards keeps it nice and simple when it comes to the symbols. This means that there aren't any wild symbols or scatter symbols to confuse things. All you have to do is line up matching symbols across any of the active paylines and you will be rewarded with a charming little payout.

The least valuable symbols are the standard ten, Jack, Queen and King cards. These symbols are more filler than thriller, but they will keep your balance nicely topped up if you happen to line up 3 or more on any spin.

The more valuable symbols on this slot machine are all depicted by instruments that are trademark objects of the magician's craft. For example, there is an enchanted ruby ring, a vial of magic potion, a book of spells and a glowing wizard's staff. The most valuable symbol of the whole game is the titular wizard himself with his bushy white beard and archetypal sorcerer's garb. Line up 5 of these magical maestros and you will win 10,000 credits. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the slot machine's highest jackpot.

It is fairly evident that this online slot machine was made some years ago from its slightly dated graphics. Nonetheless, the general aspect of the game is very-eye catching, with stylised cartoon symbols and plenty of rich colours. What´s more, the game features some basic animations with little glints and glows of light. If nothing else, these animations help to add that little magical spark to the proceedings.

Winning Wizards is not the most advanced slot machine in the world, nor is it the most exciting or visually stunning. But it doesn't have to be any of these things to provide some quality entertainment. That is because the game simply does what all good slot machines should do – it gives spinners every chance to win some decent sums of money.

There may not be a great deal of wow factor due to the absence of any bonus features such as free spins or wild symbols. However, this will not be a problem for punters who like their slot machines free from fuss yet full of charm.
