Wild Curses can also occur on any spin, where all Scatters on the screen turn into Wilds, while up to four normal symbols can also turn into Wilds on the reels, leading to huge wins.
If three potion Scatter symbols land on any spin, then the Voodoo Mystery free spins is triggered. Players then have to pick a ghoulish card which will reveal either Free Spins, Super Free Spins or Mega Free Spins.
Different multipliers of up to 50x are available in free spins, as well as mystery cards which will transform into matching symbols on the reels.
In certain jurisdictions, players can also purchase the Free Spins mode, progressing directly to the immersive Bonus Round.
Voodoo Magic joins recent hits John Hunter and the Mayan Gods and Big Bass Bonanza among Pragmatic Play’s extensive slot offering, with diverse content aimed at players of all demographics.
Yossi Barzely, Chief Business Development Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “With the nights darker than ever in the middle of winter, we’ve offered a creepy adventure in our latest title, Voodoo Magic, to keep players on the edge of their seats.
