Sourcery is on offer in this fantasy-themed ELK Studios creation that is played on a 5-reel, 4-row reel set with 178 ways to win. It's a rather simple slot that, although being far from innovative, sti ...

Symbols on the reels include magical artefacts such as spoons, keys, brooches, rings, potions, moons, treasure chests and suns. The sun is the most rewarding symbol giving you 10 times your stake for 5 across a payline. This is a typical Elk Studio paytable where x10 you stake is most paid for best symbol.


The dragon is wild symbol and replaces all symbols but the bonus scatter. If the dragon wild lands on the reels it comes with a multiplier ranging between 2x and 5x. When wild form part of a winning combination, you can benefit from a multiplier up to 5x. This is known as the wild multiplier feature.


The wizard himself is the bonus scatter. When 2 or more appear, you’ll trigger the Wizspins feature. During this feature you get only top symbols with possibly a wild in play for re-spins. Free spins are triggered with 3 or more bonus scatters and wild walking feature in play. During the feature, each single wizard that appears will reward you with an additional free spin.


The multiplier wild feature applies during the free spins meaning a win involving a wild symbol can give you a multiplier up to 5x on each free spin and it is classified as re-spins until the wild disappear from the screen.


Some people would say this is a medium variance slot, but I classify it as a high variance slot. You need a good balance on this slot because the base game is made up of empty spins. My biggest wins were during the base game with the wild multiplier feature. You often get x50 – 100x base game wins and triggering free spins is difficult.

per spin is 1780x, but add just one of those multiplier wilds (2x-5x) to the formula, and you'll realize the potential - in theory... And unlike fellow ELK slot "Ecuador Gold" - or "Ripcuador Gold", as I like to call it - this one isn't capped at 2500x. You could - in theory - land a 5000x hit here.

But that's theory. In real life you'll often struggle to trigger the free spins (1 to 10 "Wiz Spins", depending on the number of scatters) and when you finally land the bonus, it can be a sinking 0x. Empty bonuses are not uncommon here, sadly. Base game can be a cruel money sucker too, magically making your balance disappear. "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo"!

On the upside, "The Wiz" is capable of fast 3-in-a-row bonuses, that pay substantially, because the Dragon Wilds decide to show up and walk across the reels in brilliant unison. Base game can pack a punch too. It all depends on catching this slot on its sunny side.

I'd say the best way to play "The Wiz" is in moderation, giving it 80-120 spins to show some magic. This is after all a VERY volatile slot. And if you hit big: Run before the wizzard and his dragons "magically" take it all back. You know, "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo, MF"!

Hmmmm, no major dislikes. But be careful, as "The Wiz" can deadspin you like you've (probably) never seen it before. Remember, this is a very volatile slot indeed.
