Wild Wizards slot by Realtime Gaming (RTG)

There is little to learn about how to play Wild Wizards beyond the stake, and it is the only thing that has to be set before the first spin. What the Wild Wizards paytable promises is stated against that number and not in cash.

To read a result in Wild Wizards, follow the 25 lines from the leftmost reel: the pay is for identical symbols in an unbroken run, and each line pays its best combination only.

Under the art, Wild Wizards is a straightforward 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 paylines machine. Wins are read left to right from the first reel, and only the highest combination on each line counts, so a second wizard further along the same line adds nothing. The paytable is top-heavy. The wizard carries the headline number, a folio the next one, and everything below is filler.
