The Wombat says: how do you do? Do you Voodoo. You do?
Ha ha ha, that little ditty really tickles this Wombat. But, we’ll be laughing on the other side of our furry faces in a minute as we enter the realm of the Witch Doctor Goes Wild slot. He’s not messing around – and neither are the payouts in this slot from Core Gaming.
Just in case you were wondering, a witch doctor is an African healer with magic powers…He looks like he could do with some of that headgear on the 9 Masks of Fire slot, you know, just to supercharge the powers a bit.
Will this fella conjure up some magic on the reels? Let’s see. He’s an entertainer on the left hand side of the reels, that’s for sure.
Look and Feel

Animated fun. That’s how we’d describe the graphics in this game. The reels are grid-like and packed with stone blocks. Flames explode under each of them, and the African Savannah looms behind all the action.
Mind you don’t singe those furry fingers, Wombat fans…
We particularly like it when the weird little witch doctor does a dance as the wins land on the reels. Next, he’ll set fire to all manner of things and also summon up brand new symbols. Must be magic! What a good bloke.
Tribal rhythms make up the backing track to your gameplay – as well as various roars and triumphant shouts from the Witch Doctor.
Witch Doctor Goes Wild Slot Game Play
The Witch Doctor Goes Wild slot has six reels, four rows and 40 paylines. That’s quite a few more than games like the Serengeti Kings slot even which should give you an idea of how this plays.
As is becoming more and more common, this game uses Cascading (or Avalanche) Reels that explode and replace winning symbols every time they land – giving you the chance for bigger wins. Just like the North Storm slot from Rabcat in other words. That’s another example of a game with this kind of mechanic.
In this slot, with every winning cascade drop you make, you’ll advance one place on the Witch Doctor’s Multiplier Trail that features Wilds and (yes, you guessed it) Multipliers.
Reach the very top of the trail (with eight wins in a row) and you’ll set off the Free Spins.
And best of all? It’s not as tricky as it seems…
Your symbols on the reels include the 9, 10, J, Q, K & A playing card symbols carved from stone, plus human skulls , some razor-sharp spears and a shield, a bubbling cauldron thingy, the witch doctor himself, and last but not least, the wild icon.
Free Spins and Bonuses
Magic Wilds
These bad boys will get the Witch Doctor party started! Added during each free spin they appear as two to four random wilds, a big chunky 2×2 wild block, a reel high stacked wild or a MEGA 3×3 wild. They come in handy during the multiplier trail.
In summary, you are looking for:
– Up to two standard wilds
– Between two and four Random Wilds
– 2×2 Wild Blocks (“Megas”
– 3×3 Wild Blocks (“Colossals”)
– Wild Stacks
Free Spins
Trigger off those Free Spins and it’s time for a new set of stone block reels – plus the Witch Doctor and his flaming magical staff thing all turn blue.
Now you’ll get eight Free Spins and another multiplier trail will be introduced. This one features Magic Wilds and some seriously chunky multipliers. If you manage to make eight consecutive wins during the round and get to the top, you’ll scoop a mind-blowing 30x multiplier on your wins.
But there’s more! Any wins after this will increase by 20x, which means ten wins in a row could pay out 70x your bet.
Conclusion
Did somebody say ’70x multiplier’? Oh yeah, it was this Wombat just a few seconds ago. Throw in the fun graphics and some decent base game wins and you’ll be in heaven with the Witch Doctor Goes Wild slot.
It’s a thumbs up from this Wombat!
