Slot Overview

3 Arcane Cauldrons is a new release from NowNow Gaming, and this witchcraft-themed Hold & Win slot offers a maximum win potential of 10,000x and a solid RTP of 96.35%. It’s a very familiar format (the three modifier-driven pots), so can NowNow do enough to make the game stand out and be worth playing? Let’s find out.

Gameplay & Bonus Features

3 Arcane Cauldrons is played on a 5-reel, 3-row layout with 17 fixed paylines, and you can bet from €0.10 to €100 per spin. The game offers a slightly above-average RTP of 96.35%.

Now, the game’s core mechanic focuses on bonus symbols that correspond to the three coloured cauldrons positioned above the reels. When collected, these symbols reveal coin values, and they can also randomly trigger the Hold & Win feature. Once triggered, the Respin bonus begins with 3 Respins, resetting each time a new Coin or Jackpot symbol lands. Coin values range from 1x to 500x, and the fixed Jackpots include:

  • Mini: 10x
  • Major: 100x
  • Mega: 1,000x

Each cauldron introduces a different modifier, too. The Blue Cauldron increases the Respin counter to four instead of three; the Pink Cauldron attaches multipliers of 2x, 3x, or 5x to Coin or Jackpot symbols, while the Green Cauldron activates a second identical 5×3 grid that plays out at the same time, basically doubling the available space to land Coin and Jackpot symbols.

Bonus Buy

3 Arcane Cauldrons offers a few Feature Buy options, too. You can buy a Single Arcane Bonus for 100x or pay 250x for 2 or 3 cauldron modifiers. There’s also an Ante Bet, which increases your base game stake slightly in return for a higher chance of landing the bonus naturally.

Theme & Design

3 Arcane Cauldrons takes place in a cartoon-like enchanted forest, and here, you’ll see three bubbling pots, coloured blue, green and pink, floating above the reels. The game itself sits against a woodland backdrop, and there are magical glows and potion bottles scattered around, so, visually, it looks good, we feel.

The game’s animations are smooth and purpose-driven, we feel, too, and we like how when coins are collected into their respective cauldrons, there are some short but impactful animations.

Pros

  • Solid maximum win potential of 10,000x.
  • Medium volatility offers a good balance between big and frequent wins.
  • Combinable cauldron modifiers are solid.

Cons

  • Base game payouts are quite low.
  • VERY reliant on the Hold & Win feature for big wins.
  • The concept feels a bit “bland” within the “3 Pots” genre of games

Final Thoughts

3 Arcane Cauldrons is a fairly solid slot from NowNow Gaming into the collection-based genre of the games. We feel the game benefits from solid mathematics, and we like how the studio has managed to build a medium variance game, with a maximum win potential of 10,000x.

We also like how it’s possible to combine Extra respins, Multipliers and dual grids all at once, and this makes the 10,000x seem as though it’s actually achievable (as well as having a clear entry-path there, too!)

However, the base game itself is quite underwhelming, we feel. The wins are very low, and, as a result, most of the entertainment value hinges on triggering, or buying, the Hold & Win feature. Happy with that? Then 3 Arcane Cauldrons is a game you may want to check out!
