Forget everything you know about witches, no warts, no green skin, no haggard crones. NetEnt totally flipped the script. These witches are glamorous, stylish, and ready to brew you a potion that could bring serious wealth your way. Drop into their lair and let the magic unfold across 5 reels of spooky fun.
The atmosphere is where this game truly shines. A haunting soundtrack pulls you in immediately, soft sighs, owls hooting in the darkness, just enough eeriness without overdoing it. Land a win, and the tension builds, but hit Free Spins? That deliciously cackling witch tune takes over completely. Spooky, stylish, and surprisingly generous. What’s up, Witches?
What’s Up Witches ditches the traditional reel setup entirely. A 6-reel grid with a 4-6-6-6-6-4 symbol pattern delivers a staggering 20,736 ways to win, while that unique horizontal-spinning bottom row keeps things visually exciting. Every winning combination triggers an Avalanche, symbols disappear, fresh ones drop in, and the chain keeps rolling until luck runs dry.
Volatility runs high here, with RTP peaking at 96.03% across four configurations(88.09%, 92.06%, 94.06%, 96.03%). Stakes stretch from $/€0.20 up to $/€100, plus Elevate feature buy options for the bold.
Nine pay symbols climb from stone carvings through glittering jewelry up to three powerful witches, land six matching witches and pocket 2.5x to 5x your bet. Wilds cover everything.
A slot cannot be truly judged by just 100 spins, a game’s RTP is calculated across billions of spins, and no short session can tell the complete story. We know that. That’s why we play well beyond 100 spins before forming any opinion on a game.
But the 100 Spins Experience is something specific, a dedicated documented window within that session designed to give you a clear, honest snapshot of the game.

The Arcane Feature introduces a spell system that can dramatically transform the reels. At any given time, 9 spells exist within the feature, and up to 3 of them may appear on the reels during a single spin. Spells are activated when a Grimoire symbol lands on the horizontal row. There are two versions of this symbol, each with a different reach:
The standard Grimoire only activates spells on the reel immediately adjacent to where it lands, keeping its influence local.
The Super Grimoire, on the other hand, is far more powerful it activates every spell present on the reels simultaneously. It’s also worth noting that spells can trigger one another. If an activated spell’s area of effect overlaps with another spell, that second spell activates too, creating a chain reaction that can spread across the reels.
When a spell is triggered, it transforms into a wild. Most spells also convert surrounding symbols into wilds depending on their pattern, with two exceptions: scatters and symbols on the horizontal reel are never converted.
The nine spells and their transformation areas are as follows:
• Simple Spell: Converts only itself into a wild.
• Vertical Spell: Converts itself plus the symbols directly above and below it.
• Horizontal Spell: Converts itself plus the symbols directly to its left and right.
• Plus Pattern Spell: Converts itself plus all four adjacent symbols (above, below, left, and right).
• Downward Spell: Converts itself and every symbol below it in the same column.
• Upward Spell: Converts itself and every symbol above it in the same column.
• Omni-directional Spell: Converts itself and all eight surrounding symbols (the full 3×3 area around it).
• Rightmost Spell: Converts itself and every symbol to its right on the same row.
• Leftmost Spell: Converts itself and every symbol to its left on the same row.

Wilds created by an activated spell don’t just substitute, they carry a multiplier bonus. Each wild produced this way gains a +1 multiplier, which stacks up to ×3. When a winning combination includes more than one multiplier wild, their values aren’t simply added together, they are multiplied together, which can significantly amplify payouts.
Landing 4 or 5 scatters earns you 10 or 15 free spins, moving you to a special 5×5 grid where blanks or sticky bet multipliers from ×1 to ×100 gradually build across the round. Beside the grid, the Magic Orb randomly unleashes one of 9 abilities on any given spin, each one shaking up your multiplier collection in a different way.
The Doubler and Upgrader amplify what you already have, one doubling 3 multipliers outright, the other nudging 3 up by +1. The Adder slaps a bold ×5–×200 bonus onto 3 multipliers, while the Generator conjures 3 fresh multipliers worth up to ×500 from nothing. The Collector cashes in 2 to 6 multipliers at once, and the Compressor folds an entire line into a single combined value. The clever Converter finds the strongest neighbour around a chosen multiplier and stamps that value across all 5 surrounding positions. The Sweeper clears away clutter by removing all ×1 multipliers, and +3 Spins simply keeps the action going a little longer.
The Elevate Menu lets you buy directly into the action across five purchasable options.
Bonus Hunt at ×3 modestly increases your chances of triggering free spins naturally.
Arcane at ×10 activates the spell system on demand.
Free Spins at ×100 skips straight to the bonus round.
Arcane + Free Spins at ×300 chains both features together, delivering the Arcane activation followed by 10 or 15 free spins.
The premium Arcane + Free Spins Maximum at ×500 guarantees the same combination but locks in the full 15 free spins, the boldest, most complete option available.
Honestly? This game hits different the moment you load it up. The grid layout immediately tells you this isn’t your average spin-and-pray slot, it feels fresh, exciting, and like something actually new is happening on your screen. The Avalanche mechanic is where the real fun lives watching one win cascade into another chain of payouts genuinely gets your heart racing, and the witchy atmosphere wraps around the whole experience beautifully. The soundtrack alone keeps you locked in longer than you’d expect.
But let’s keep it real, your bankroll will feel this one. High volatility means you can sit through a frustratingly quiet stretch before anything meaningful lands. Don’t walk in expecting steady, comfortable wins this game demands patience and a solid budget behind you. The base game can feel like a slow burn, and those bonus rounds won’t always show up when you need them most.
Now, the part every player actually wants to know: the max win. What’s Up Witches carries a maximum win potential that makes those dry spells worth chasing through. With 20,736 ways to win firing simultaneously alongside the Avalanche chain mechanic, a single well-timed bonus trigger can flip an entire session on its head. That ceiling is what keeps you spinning through the quiet moments, because when this coven decides to pay, it pays with attitude.
Bottom line: high risk, strong personality, and a max win ceiling worth every nerve-testing spin. Just bring enough to stay at the party.
