Coven Rising review overview

1-4-7-6-7-4-1 clusters and selective respins

Each position spins independently on the circular layout. A win needs five or more identical paying runes connected horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Winning positions then respin while other cells stay; the centre also respins after every win. Paytable dollar cells at the demo bet are stake-linked preview figures.

Eight witch modifiers

Four witches appear in regular and enhanced forms in the centre. They collect Coins up to 500× the base bet, raise rune levels toward Level 5, replace Blanks, or add Wilds. A Coin only pays when Green Witch collects it.

Who Coven Rising suits

Coven Rising suits readers who want to follow cluster chains and centre modifiers. It is less suited to fixed paylines or anyone treating a 100× or 200× buy as an ordinary spin cost.

Best for

  • Players comparing natural Free Spins with Ante Bet and Buy Feature entry
  • Readers who want selective respins and persistent Free Spins upgrades stated from the rules
  • Anyone checking the 96.42% figure on Pragmatic Play’s game page

Not ideal for

  • Players who prefer short fixed paylines without cluster adjacency
  • Anyone expecting every visible Coin to pay without a Green Witch collect
  • Readers treating the 5,000× maximum as a frequent outcome

How Coven Rising rules and features work

Free Spins

Landing 3–6 Scatters awards 12–24 Free Spins. During the feature, Red Witch upgrades persist until the round ends, and an enhanced Green Witch collect can leave a carried Coin on the highest Coin. Two or more Scatters add two extra spins per Scatter. Special reels are in play.

Ante Bet and Buy Feature

Rules screens list Ante Bet at a 60× bet multiplier with a 7× Free Spins chance versus the normal 20× stake mode. Standard Free Spins buy at 100× base bet; Super Free Spins at 200× with no Blanks in the centre. Dollar prices in the Buy Feature overlay are stake-linked preview costs at the bet shown, not predicted wins.

How to play Coven Rising responsibly

A Buy Feature charge spends a large multiple of the base stake at once. Set a money limit and a time limit before opening that menu, and stop when either limit is reached even if a carried Coin or rune levels still look unfinished.

  1. Read buys as costs

    100× and 200× are purchase multiples of the base bet. Overlay dollars scale with the bet shown.

  2. Separate Coins from paid awards

    A printed Coin value pays only after a Green Witch collect on that spin or sequence.

  3. Treat 5,000× as a ceiling

    The rules screen limits the maximum win to 5,000× bet. Reaching it ends the round.

Symbols and Paytable

Six coloured runes form the paying set across five levels. Coins, Scatters, Blanks and Wilds sit beside four centre witches in regular and enhanced forms.

Paying runes

Six coloured runes pay in clusters of five or more connected horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Each rune has five value levels from Level 1 to Level 5. Paytable dollar cells at the demo bet are stake-linked preview figures.

Coin

Shows a value from the published set 1×, 2×, 3×, 4×, 5×, 10×, 15×, 20×, 25×, 50×, 100×, 250× or 500× the base bet. A Coin pays only when a Green Witch collects it.

Scatter

Three to six Scatters start Free Spins with 12, 16, 20 or 24 spins. During Free Spins, two or more Scatters add two extra spins per Scatter.

Blank

Has no value and cannot form a winning cluster. Yellow Witch modifiers can replace Blanks with paying symbols; Super Free Spins keep Blanks out of the centre position.

Wild

Substitutes for paying runes, not for Scatter, Coin or witch symbols. Blue Witch modifiers place Wilds on the grid.

Green Witch

Centre modifier. The regular form collects and pays visible Coin values, then those positions respin into paying symbols. The enhanced form first adds one to five Coins on available Blank positions, then collects. In Free Spins the enhanced collect can keep a carried Coin value on the highest Coin until a higher one appears or the round ends.

Red Witch

Centre modifier. The regular form raises one random paying rune by one level; the enhanced form raises all paying runes by one level, up to Level 5. In Free Spins, upgrades from either form persist until the feature ends.

Yellow Witch

Centre modifier. The regular form turns up to five Blank positions into random paying symbols; the enhanced form converts all Blanks currently on the grid.

Blue Witch

Centre modifier. The regular form turns the centre into a Wild; the enhanced form also adds two Wilds in random positions.

Coven Rising RTP, volatility and maximum win

Pragmatic Play’s Coven Rising page prints a theoretical RTP of 96.42%.

RTP remains a long-run configuration value, not the return of a short session. Confirm the active percentage on the operator information panel if a lobby loads another build.

Coven Rising compared with other games

Other Pragmatic cluster titles also mix centre modifiers with Free Spins persistence. Coven Rising is closest to games where only winners and the centre respin after a hit. Compare Coin collect rules and buy multiples carefully, not only the witchcraft theme.

Coven Rising compared with other games
Game Return / max win Volatility Bonus fit Watch out for
Coven Rising 94.49%–96.42% / 5,000× Medium Three to six Scatters open 12 to 24 Free Spins; rune upgrades and a carried Coin can persist for the feature. Shared dark fantasy art does not make another studio’s cluster or buy menu apply here.
Out of the Woods 94.53%–96.52% / 10,000× Medium Free Spins keep the peak Multiplier Wild value for later stacks; Ante Bet, Super Spin and two buys change the entry route. Shared woodland art or a Wild multiplier label does not transfer gold-rim jump rules or RTP builds from another title.
Sanatorium Secrets 94.49%–96.47% / 10,000× Medium Three or more Scatters open Free Spins after a Puzzle stage; a Super Scatter upgrades that path to Super Free Spins with two guaranteed Hooks. Shared horror art does not make another title’s Wild multipliers, buy prices or RTP prints apply here.
