Spellbound: Cluster Magical Potions and Conjure Up to 5,000x Wins

Spellbound sat me down in a wizard's library full of old books, bubbling cauldrons, and candles that kept flickering as I kept spinning.

NeoGames keeps putting out these instant-win games, so there’s nothing new in “how to play”. You buy a ticket, a three-by-three grid reveals itself, and if three or more matching symbols appear, they clear out so the new ones can fall in from above. That is the whole loop, and 5,000x is the ceiling.

My loop was mostly potions. Red and blue ones clustering in threes for 0.20x, green and orange ones occasionally reaching 1x my bet in groups of four. The cascade would clear a group and refill the grid, but replacements were usually just more potions doing the same thing. After about 15 spins, the pattern was obvious, and my balance confirmed it.

When three of them connected, let’s say two to three times during my session, the payout was 2x at best, and the same goes for the wizard hat, with those wins being a bit higher. The spellbook is the big one, x150 if all nine spots fill with it.

Somewhere in the paytable is also an Event Symbol, in the form of a purple crest that triggers one of three things when revealed. 

Even though it didn’t feel like it, there are more options to win big. Those are an Expanding Wild shaped like a young wizard covering up to three spots, a x5 Multiplier scroll applied to all cluster wins, and the Bonus Wheel for prizes and a chance at three progressive jackpots, Gold, Silver, and Bronze.

After all, what I experienced was a nice-looking library, smooth animations, and a ceiling that felt more like decoration than a real possibility.
