Cauldron Review
Set in the Blue Wizard's cave of Algroth, Cauldron follows the wizard and his quest for power. Throughout the years, he created a huge hotpot of a potion that many adventurers wish to seek and you take on the role of that adventurer. Playing on 5-reels with 20 paylines, Cauldron is a magic slot developed by Peter & Sons.
Throughout the slot, there are two different free spin options with multipliers to help you on your quest to retrieve the mystical potion. Can you persuade the Blue Wizard to give you the treasure of 2,222x your stake, or will you end up as one of the ingredients in the potion instead?
Design
The design of this slot is similar to Adventure Time, with the Blue Wizard actually looking similar to the Wizard King. Similarly, the design of the symbols and creatures looks creepy but with a cartoonish vibe to lessen the blow.
There's no denying that these monsters aren't cute but there is a strange charm to them. The slot itself is set in the Blue Wizard's magical house with the focus being on the cauldron itself.
Perhaps the most engaging part of the design has to be the animation from everything on screen. From the leaves blowing in the wild to the Blue Wizard orchestrating the cauldron at the top, there's so much going on in this slot that you can't help but enjoy it.
A percussion score mixed with a cello to create something a little kooky and off - but it works for this slot. There are ambient sounds such as water and the Blue Wizard using powers that complete the slot to make it feel more like some crazy world you've entered.
Gameplay
In terms of gameplay, Cauldron is straightforward and easy to follow. The main features include the free spins and the super free spins, aside from that it's a standard slot. Sometimes simplicity is better than complicated mechanics and Cauldron is a prime example of that.
At the bottom of the screen, you'll find the spin button to the far right with the bet level and autospin just underneath it. To the far left of the screen, there are further menu options such as sound or paytable in case you are struggling.
Win Potential
Cauldron is a high volatility slot with a decent RTP of 96.04%. Sadly, the issues come with maximum payout as it's a measly 2,222x stake - which is a laughable maximum payout for online slots.
This is especially hilarious considering that Peter & Sons have one of the highest maximum payouts with Robin: Nottingham Raiders at 121,500x stake.
Our Verdict
Cauldron could've been something spectacular, but just disappoints with the pathetic win potential. The design is fantastic and utterly fascinating to watch, plus the gameplay is engaging as well. Overall, Cauldron is a decent slot but is just let down by the pathetic win potential.
We'd definitely recommend giving Cauldron a spin, as there are great qualities about this slot but suggest you find a better slot (perhaps Robin: Nottingham Raiders) to focus your energy on.
