Balthazar's WIld Emporium Introduction
We can't beat around the bush that the theme of this Core Gaming pokie is a little wacky. A magical potion maker who looks like a Victorian freak show host is making potions in an ancient forest. Somehow though, it works for us, and if not for you then allow the green puffs to create a smokescreen for you and simply go with the flow.
How to Play
Stakes start at just $0.10, but go all the way up to $100.00. Wagers are made across 20 fixed paylines for every spin. The basic symbols, 10, J, Q, K and A, are joined by the more exciting symbols including a gold coin, potions book, chest of potions, Balthazar and the Wild. This Wild substitutes for all symbols apart from the three potion symbols, which are pink, blue or orange.
The Wild also happens to be the highest scoring symbol should you get three or more on a payline. With five reels and 20 paylines, it's an easy to play format, designed with both beginners and experts in mind.
Gamble Bonus Screen
Free Spins are a big part of this game and the way you may get awarded is when you have two or more of a matching colour vials on Reels One or Two. In a unique twist, however, you can choose to gamble some or all of these spins.
Free Spins Galore
The fun of the coloured vials doesn't end there, when you get five or more on a payline the real fun begins. Five Pink Vials mean 500 Free Spins and Stacked Wilds. Five Blue Vials make for 750 Free Spins and Expanding Wilds. Five Orange Vials and you will be awarded a whopping 1,000 Free Spins, along with Colossal Wilds!
Balthazar's Bonus Potions
Your (slightly creepy) host Balthazar may appear at any time to help you out after a losing spin. He'll arrive with one of five potions that magic that spin into a win. Will it be Magic Respins? A repsin with a certain win. Perhaps Potions Wild, adding normal or Colossal Wilds to the reels. Maybe Dr Burns, eradicating existing symbols to reveal better ones. Or possibly Deja Vu, which rewinds to a winning symbol.
The final potion, the brilliant Snake Eyes, triggers a shuffle to make a win Balthazar's Wild Emporium has no end of bonus features including high stakes gambling options and the magic of turning a loss into a win. Certainly different from our other online pokies games, it may be a bit of a marmite theme, but give it a go - with all those Free Spins up for grabs, it's surely worth taking a punt!
