Blue Wizard

Wands out! It’s time for a little online slot magic with Blue Wizard from Quickspin. A reboot of an older game, Quickspin have worked a little of their own wizardry to provide an enchanting new look. The chance to win cash prizes is still as enchanting as ever, with up to a potential x4217 available to win. 

Players might remember the original Blue Wizard, which was initially a land-based slot, before being launched online by Playtech. This new release from Quickspin keeps all of the original features and style, while offering a little extra polish.

The gameplay is set on a 5x3 board which includes 30 traditional paylines. Betting starts from just 0.10 per spin, but can be increased up to a maximum of 100.00. Volatility is medium, so the wizard will produce a fairly regular stream of slots, but the larger payouts may take longer to land. 

The original ambience of Blue Wizard has been preserved, but the graphics have a little more glamour. The cottage in the background and the surrounding woods are illuminated by an eerie blue light. The whole scene is ethereal, leaving players in no doubt that there's magic in the air.

The low pays are represented by metallic, ornate playing card royals - simple but effective. The high pays introduce a series of enchanted items, including a jewelled ring, spell book, cauldron and owl.

The Blue Wizard puts in an appearance as the wild, landing on reels 2-5 to substitute for either the low or high pays.

Every wizard deserves an enchanted castle, and this symbol is the scatter for this slot. Land three or more, and you'll win six free spins, which can be retriggered by landing more scatters. During the free spins round, any wilds that land on the centre reel will carry a multiplier of up to x16.

In either the base game or the free spins round, keep your eyes open for crystal balls. These are the bonus symbol, and if you land six or more, the Fire Blaze Respin feature will unlock. Each of the crystal balls will reveal a value of up to x50, or they will contain a star. The stars represent one of four prize pots: Mini (x20), Minor (x100), or Major (x500).

The crystal balls will lock in position, and players will receive three respins. These respins contain a combination of blanks and crystal ball symbols; each time a crystal ball symbol lands, it will also lock into position, and the number of respins will reset. The feature finishes when you either run out of respins or the board is completely filled. If you manage to achieve the latter, the top Grand prize pot is awarded (x2000).

Blue Wizard from Quickspin doesn’t contain any unique features, or offer anything more than the original slot. However, the beautiful design, evocative imagery and potential to win big prizes mean this is a slot which retains an undeniable appeal.
