Witch Heart Megaways is a bubbling brew of broomsticks, curses, and coin-filled chaos, developed by Pragmatic Play and released on May 5, 2025. It may sound spooky, but don’t expect full-blown horror – this is more cackling cartoon villain than soul-devouring sorceress. Think Scooby-Doo on slot-enhancing steroids.

About Witch Heart Megaways

Built on the Megaways mechanic, this mischievous slot comes with tumbling reels, exploding wilds that can conjure up extra Wilds, and a Free Spins round that straps a multiplier to your winnings and sends it flying like a bat out of hell. It’s weird, it’s wild, and it’s got enough madness to keep your curiosity piqued.

The slot is available on desktop and mobile devices from 20p to £240 per spin. It has an above-average RTP of 96.49%, high volatility, and a max win of 9,000x the bet.

Witch Heart Megaways is more than broomsticks and bubbling cauldrons, and it’s a fully armed Megaways beast hiding behind cartoon-style charm. Pragmatic Play has loaded it with six reels, each capable of showing 2 to 7 symbols, for up to 200,704 ways to win.

Design and Symbols

Welcome to the middle of nowhere – literally. Witch Heart Megaways is set in a misty valley where the full moon does all the heavy lifting, and the only neighbours are the trees, skulls, and whatever’s bubbling in the cauldron. The witch? She’s not into socialising. Her crooked little hut sits alone, nestled in the shadows, clearly vibing “no visitors” energy. The only signs of life are the two glowing skulls flanking the reels like the world’s least reassuring porch lights.

The grid is carved into a stone slab, in the centre of this haunted wilderness. It’s the perfect setup for this Megaways showdown, with wins forming the usual way – left to right, three symbols minimum, across adjacent reels. Nothing groundbreaking there, but the mood? 10/10 for spooky solitude.

Symbol-wise, we’ve got three distinct tiers doing the heavy lifting:

⭐ Low-payers are your standard royals – J, Q, K, and A – creepily stylised but not exactly brimming with value. Six of a kind awards 0.4x to 0.45x the bet.

⭐ Mid-tier symbols are more thematic: a waxy candle, a mysterious potion bottle, and a bubbling cauldron award 0.5x to 0.6x for six on a payline.

⭐ Premiums are where the magic happens. A black cat, a haunted owl, and the witch, who doesn’t mess around. These award 0.75x to 3x for a six-symbol match.

Then we’ve got the special guests:

⭐Wilds are the ruby heart gems wrapped in gold. They sub for all paying symbols.

⭐ Bonus Scatters are the purple hearts in orbs. Collect enough to trigger the bonus round.

Features Breakdown

In terms of the features, the real sorcery lies in the Tumbling Reels, Witch Heart Wilds, Free Spins, Ante Bet, and Feature Buy options.

Tumbling Reels

Classic Megaways mayhem. Whenever you land a winning combo, those symbols don’t stick around to celebrate – they vanish in a puff of smoke. New symbols tumble in from above, and the process begins again if they create another win. It’s a chain reaction that continues until you hit a dead spin. Spin once and hope it snowballs.

Witch Heart Wilds

Whenever a Witch Heart Wild lands, it can participate in up to 3 separate wins during the same tumble sequence. But after its third encore performance? Boom. It explodes – theatrically, of course – and spawns 2 to 9 new Wilds in random spots across the grid. It’s chaos with style, and if those fresh Wilds slot into place just right, you could be staring down a massive payout.

Collect Symbol

The collect symbol only appears on the 6^th reel, and no, you won’t ever see more than one at a time, so don’t get greedy. When it lands, all standard wins are settled. Then, the Collect Symbol expands to cover the entire reel and scoops up the value from every visible Money symbol on the grid. All the values are then tallied up and paid out.

Free Spins

Landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 Bonus Scatters in a single spin triggers 10, 15, 20, or 30 free spins – and yes, those numbers can hit again mid-feature thanks to retriggers.

But the real witchcraft lies in the unlimited win multiplier. It starts at 1x and grows by +1 with every tumble, so even a humble streak of small wins can snowball into something huge.

Then enter stage left: the Witch Heart Wild explosions. When those gems go boom during a free spin, they boost the multiplier by some serious numbers depending on how many blow up in a spin:

✅ 1 explosion: up to +6x

✅ 2 explosions: up to +13x

✅ 3 explosions: up to +20x

And yes, they stack. So, this multiplier can go feral if things line up just right. Max win? Still 9,000x, but how you get there could involve a fireworks show of wild detonations and tumbling chaos.

Ante Bet

For those who don’t fancy waiting 600 spins for a bonus to drop, there’s the Ante Bet. For 50% of the initial bet, the chances of triggering the Free Spins double.

Feature Buy

Toss 150x the bet into the cauldron to buy into the bonus. No waiting, no teasing Scatters – just straight into the Free Spins round with a fresh multiplier and explosions. Please don’t say we didn’t warn you: witches always get paid up front.

Verdict

Let’s be honest: Witch Heart Megaways™ doesn’t cast a groundbreaking spell. This one brews up a respectable batch of familiar flavours in a sea of cauldrons, pointy hats, and mysterious glowing orbs. The visuals? Clean. The animations? Slick. The mood? Comfortably spooky without diving into full horror territory.

If you’re here for aesthetics, you’ll get the glowing skulls, burning candles, and a ruby-red Wild. It’s all very well done – just not wildly different.

Mechanically, though? That’s where the spell book starts to feel a little worn. The cascading reels and expanding multipliers are solid but standard. The exploding Witch Heart Wilds are neat, especially when they start cranking up the multiplier in the bonus round. But let’s not pretend it’s revolutionary. It’s more like a trusty broomstick – it gets the job done, but you’re not flying first class.

Triggering the bonus game isn’t exactly generous either, averaging 1 in 600 spins, which might feel more cursed than charmed depending on your bankroll. Still, when it does hit, those wild-driven multipliers can conjure up absolute chaos. And with a 9,000x max win, there’s enough heat in the pot for things to remain interesting.

Bottom line? It’s a polished and enjoyable ride with a few clever touches, but don’t expect dark arts that haven’t been seen before. Witch Heart Megaways plays it safe, ironically making it a dependable pick when you want a dose of magic without the mystery.
