Hocus Pocus Sorcery slot review

Potions, books and a cat on five reels

The setting is a magical one with a mysterious, Halloween mood: books, potions, gems and a cat appear among its themes. The grid is 5 reels with 25 paylines, a familiar layout that is easy to read. Wild symbols help build combinations, and free spins are the bonus round.

Evoplay's catalogue also holds Emerald Brewer, Ignis Rex and Lunar Wilds if you want to compare moods. Browse more Evoplay slots to see them.

High volatility with a sub-96% return

Over a very large number of spins this game returns 95.84% on average and the casino keeps the other 4.16%. The figure gives no hint of how any single session will go. High volatility pushes in the same direction: wins are rarer, and a balance can sink for a long stretch before anything lands. Casinos may run their own RTP setting, so check the help screen.

If those terms are new, the RTP guide and the volatility guide explain how the numbers are built.

The bonus buy, and a word on spending

A bonus buy lets you pay a set multiple of your stake to go straight to the feature rather than waiting for it. It does not raise the long-run return, and in a high-volatility game a single purchase can cost many times the normal bet. Some regulated markets do not allow the option at all. Decide in advance how many purchases your budget can bear, and stop when you have reached it.
