Cash Wizard World GGB Magazine

Scientific Games is renewing a popular brand and character with this revamp of the Bally Cash Wizard game on the distinct WinStar Wave XL cabinet.

Adjacent WinStar Wave cabinets form what appears to be a giant display, as there is little space between the adjacent curved monitors. Here, it is used for a mystery community-style bonus that occurs every three to nine spins. When the event is triggered at random, the Cash Wizard character flies across all monitors in the bank, and players are given the option to increase the multipliers of their bets, by one for every 50 credits wagered. The bonus then awards everyone on the bank with a credit award times the multiplier they achieved.

There are three other bonus features in the game, including two free-game features. Three scattered Scroll symbols on the middle reels trigger one of three features. Dragon Cave Free Games awards five free spins. Before the spins begin, several spots on the reels are replaced with other symbols to trigger a potential extra award. Wizard School Free Games also awards five free spins.

The reels set expands during the free games for extra paylines and more chances to win. The three-by-five array grows to a five-by-five array on the Wizard School Free Games and to an eight-by-five array for the Dragon Cave Free Games.

The Jackpot Wheel bonus can result in one of three progressive jackpots. One spin of the bonus wheel results in a credit prize, the Wand Jackpot (resetting at $20), the Magic Jackpot (starting at $100) or the top Wizard jackpot (resetting at $10,000 on the penny version of the game).
