Slot Summary

Players who enjoy watching a long collection target reshape a bonus will find Cauldron's 750-point Scatter meter more consequential than its ordinary spins. Peter and Sons pairs a conventional 20-line game with two Free Spins modes. Standard Free Spins gradually remove low symbols and double high-symbol values after wins; Super Free Spins begin with those changes already applied. Each removal or upgrade also grants an Additional Free Spin, so the reel set becomes more concentrated as the round continues.
MechanicsWinning symbols upgrade or disappear during Free Spins

How It Plays

Base play evaluates 20 fixed Paylines from left to right. Wild Symbols appear only on the middle 3 reels and substitute for everything except Scatter Symbols.

Scatter Symbols serve two purposes: enough on one spin open Free Spins, while every collected Scatter also advances the persistent 750-point meter toward Super Free Spins.

Theme & Atmosphere

Fantasy and Magic define Algroth, where a wizard poured his knowledge and strength into the Cauldron inside deep caves, turning it into a sought-after source of dreams.

Witches, Monsters, Bat, Spider, and other Animals support the magical setting, but the Cauldron itself remains the story's object of power and pursuit.

Features & Win Potential

Symbol Collection feeds the Scatter meter between base rounds. Wild Symbols assist line wins, while Multiplier behavior appears through doubled high-symbol values during the Free Spins modes.

Additional Free Spins are awarded whenever a high symbol receives its upgrade or a low symbol is removed, directly linking symbol changes to the round's remaining length.

Bonus & Free Spins

Regular Free Spins award 10 spins. The first win involving each high-paying symbol doubles that symbol's later payouts, while winning low symbols are removed from subsequent spins.

Super Free Spins also award 10 spins but begin with every high symbol upgraded and every low symbol absent, skipping the gradual transformation required in the standard round.

How long could a bankroll last on Cauldron? We simulate thousands of sessions from this game's published RTP and volatility — the long-run math, not a prediction of your next spin.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (High). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (96.04%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (2,222×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
