What’s Up Witches Slot Review
SlotTribe 250 Spin Test – Date: 18 October 2026 – Result: -4.40 – Bonuses: 2 – Biggest Win: 44x
Overview
What’s Up Witches is NetEnt’s 21 May 2026 supernatural chaos‑fest built around cascading reels, spell‑casting mechanics, wild transformations, and a dedicated Free Spins grid packed with locked multipliers up to x100. With an RTP of 96.03% and a max win of 10,000x, this is a high‑volatility slot designed to swing hard — sometimes in your favour, sometimes straight into the bin.
Our SlotTribe test run leaned toward the middle. The base game was extremely busy, throwing out constant wins up to 10x and several above that — 11x, 12x, 13x and 14x. The bonus hit twice: first on spin 59 for a tidy 44x, then again on spin 235 for a 30x. Not spectacular, not dead — just a lively, chaotic session that never fully took off.

Mick’s Take
Very busy slot. Loads of wins up to 10x in the base game and a few over — 11x, 12x, 13x and 14x. Hit the bonus spins twice, first time for a 44x on spin 59 and the second on spin 235 for a 30x. Not spectacular but not bad. One of those slots that keeps you entertained with constant action, even if it doesn’t throw anything massive.

Gameplay & Features
Avalanche Wins
What’s Up Witches uses the Avalanche mechanic. Winning symbols explode and disappear, allowing new symbols to fall into place. Avalanches continue until no new wins form. This keeps the base game constantly moving and is the reason the slot feels so busy.
Arcane Features (Spell System)
The Arcane Feature is the heart of the slot. It revolves around Grimoire symbols landing on the horizontal spell reel. When a Grimoire lands, it activates any adjacent Spell Symbols, triggering one of nine spell patterns.
These spells transform symbols into Wilds in different directions:
- Horizontal
- Vertical
- Diagonal
- Plus‑pattern
- Upward
- Downward
- Omni‑directional
- Leftmost
- Rightmost
Each spell creates wild chains across the grid, often triggering multiple avalanches. Wilds created by spells can carry multipliers up to x3, and when multiple multiplier wilds land in the same win, their multipliers multiply together.
Super Grimoire
The Super Grimoire is the nuclear option. When it lands, every spell on the reels activates at once, regardless of position. This can fill the grid with wilds and create massive avalanche chains. It’s rare, but when it hits, the slot goes absolutely mental.
Wild Symbols
Wilds substitute for all regular symbols and can pay between 1.5x and 5x depending on how many land. Wild multipliers created by spells are the main driver of mid‑tier wins.
Free Spins
Landing 4 or 5 Scatters triggers 10 or 15 Free Spins.
Free Spins move to a dedicated 5×5 grid containing only:
- Multiplier symbols (x1 to x100)
- Blank spaces
Multipliers lock in place when they land. At the end of the bonus, all locked multipliers are added together for one final payout.
Magic Orb Features
During Free Spins, the Magic Orb activates one of nine features on each spin:
- Doubler
- Collector
- Upgrader
- Compressor
- Adder
- Generator
- Convertor
- Sweeper
- +3 Spins
These features manipulate the grid — doubling multipliers, collecting them, upgrading them, compressing them, adding new ones, or sweeping the board. The Magic Orb is what gives the bonus its punch, especially when multipliers start stacking.
Elevate Feature
Players can buy:
- Bonus Hunt (3x bet) — increased chance of natural Free Spins
- Arcane Feature (10x bet) — instantly triggers spell activation
Not available in all markets.
Volatility & Behaviour
What’s Up Witches is high volatility, but not in the “dead for 300 spins” way — more in the “chaotic, busy, constantly doing something” way. The base game fires off avalanches, spells, and wild transformations nonstop. Bonuses aren’t impossible, but they’re not guaranteed to explode either. Mick’s Take captures it perfectly: lively, entertaining, and full of mid‑tier hits, but nothing earth‑shattering.
Graphics & Sound
NetEnt nailed the supernatural‑school theme. Neon spellbooks, glowing symbols, magical sigils, and three witches blasting spells across the grid create a modern fantasy vibe. The soundtrack is energetic and chaotic, matching the constant avalanche action. It’s stylish, colourful, and full of personality.
What It Does Well

SlotTribe Verdict
What’s Up Witches is a chaotic, spell‑slinging avalanche machine with constant action and strong mid‑tier potential. Our test run didn’t hit anything huge, but the slot stayed lively from start to finish, with two bonuses and plenty of base wins. It’s not a monster, but it’s fun, busy, and packed with personality — a solid high‑volatility release from NetEnt.
