NetEnt's school of sorcery with a chessboard dungeon bonus
Landing 3 or more scatter symbols opens a chessboard-style bonus where you pick Efora or Earthan to fire elemental shots at hidden symbols. Coin wins pay between 10x and 200x the bet, and hitting an Armor Guard symbol triggers an explosion across neighboring tiles.
Reaching 3 or more scatter symbols inside the Element Plus round awards 5 free spins along with whatever features were unlocked during that round, such as overlay wilds or multipliers.
During the free spins round, landing 2 or more Plus Spin symbols adds extra spins: 2 symbols grant 5 more spins, 3 grant 10, 4 grant 15, and 5 grant a full 20 additional spins.
Certain unlocked bonus symbols can turn reel 1 or reel 5 completely into an overlay wild during the free spins, boosting the chance of bigger combinations.
The Wild can appear on any reel and substitutes for every symbol except the scatter, helping complete extra winning lines.
Adjust your total bet per spin before spinning the reels; the game supports a wide range of stake sizes across its 20 fixed paylines.
Witchcraft Academy runs on 5 reels and 4 rows with 20 fixed betting lines counted left to right.
Land 3 or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels to open the bonus board and choose Efora or Earthan to shoot for prizes.
Unlock free spins from the bonus game, then land Plus Spin symbols during the feature to add even more spins to your round.
The Element Plus Bonus is where Witchcraft Academy really comes alive: after landing 3 or more scatters, you choose Efora or Earthan to fire elemental shots across a hidden chessboard of symbols, banking coin wins worth 10x to 200x the bet, setting off Armor Guard explosions that clear neighboring tiles, and — if enough scatters turn up along the way — unlocking a free spins round that carries over whatever wilds or multipliers were revealed during the shots.
NetEnt sends players through the gates of a fictional school of magic in Witchcraft Academy, a video slot that leans hard into wizarding-world atmosphere without ever claiming an official Harry Potter license. Instead of Harry and Hermione, the reels follow two original characters, the witch Efora and the wizard Earthan, each accompanied by their own familiar — an owl and a dragon — as they search a candlelit library and hidden dungeon for treasure.
Structurally, the game plays out on 5 reels and 4 rows with 20 fixed paylines, returning an RTP in the mid-96% range with medium-to-high volatility, meaning wins land less often but can pay out more generously when they do. The standout mechanic is the Element Plus Bonus: land 3 or more scatters and you’ll choose a character to fire elemental shots at a hidden board of symbols, banking coin prizes, triggering Armor Guard explosions, and potentially unlocking a free spins round enhanced with overlay wilds and multipliers. Extra Plus Spin symbols during the free spins can add up to 20 further spins on top.
The presentation matches the premise — sharp, detailed animation and an enigmatic soundtrack lean into the game’s secretive, magical tone, and the whole experience runs instantly in any modern browser on desktop or mobile, no downloads or plugins required. It’s a solid pick for players who enjoy layered bonus mechanics wrapped in a fantasy theme, even if it never quite escapes the shadow of the franchise it clearly winks at.
