iSoftBet takes us on a trip down memory lane with Secrets of the Sorcerer. Designed in 8-bit font style it’s reminiscent of the retro-style arcade games of the 1980s. It’s a design we don’t tend to see often in slot game development, but it works well.

About Secrets of the Sorcerer

The action takes place on 5 reels with 25 active paylines. It’s available on desktop and mobile devices from 25p up to £25 per spin. Secrets of The Sorcerer sits in the medium variance category with an RTP of slightly below average 95.96% and a top prize of 6,714x the total bet on a spin.Depending on your age, I’m not sure if the younger generation will appreciate the retro, 80’s style arcade game design. Nevertheless, the superb design is bright and colourful and may appeal to players looking for something a little more unique. Set in a medieval castle, the Sorcerer is busy working on his magic potions. Low-value royals sit alongside a quill, a Dragon, and the Wizard who is the most lucrative awarding 20x for 5 on a payline.

Gameplay

The Secrets Uncovered is a random feature that can trigger in the base game guaranteeing entry into the free spins or a big win.2 Bonus symbols landing on a spin you get to spin the Bonus Chance wheel. There is a green and a red segment and this awards either:Green segment – entry to the free spinsRed segment – is a loss and the whole wheel turns red, and you go back to the beginning. The trick is to collect as many bonus symbols as you can to keep spinning the bonus wheel, you can spin it as much as you like as long as you have the correct number of bonus symbols.Landing the Bonus potion on reels 2, 3, and 4 you enter the free spins feature. You need to click on all the triggering Bonus potion symbols to reveal the number of free spins you’ll play, and you may also reveal a symbol that turns gold and wild for the duration of the free spins.The Wizard can randomly cast spells onto the reels guaranteeing a big win. Also, any potion bottles landing during the free spins are collected in a meter above the reels, once you have collected 3 you are awarded another 2 free spins.

Verdict

The 80’s retro design may not appeal to a younger audience, but the unique features may just be enough to justify a few spins. The design in my opinion is superb and unique in many ways and the free games bonus, extra wilds, and multipliers all come together to create a decent win potential.
