Book of Shadows Slot Game

Everybody loves a good horror-themed online slot, which is always good fun to play even when it’s not Halloween. With Book of Shadows, Nolimit City gives us a good scare in the middle of an eerie forest.

You’ll encounter creepy cats, dismembered eyeballs and animal sacrifices as a haunting tune plays in the background. The overall art style of the game is great and, like most games from Nolimit City, the aesthetic is totally different from the rest of the developer’s slots.

How to Play Book of Shadows Online

It’s easy to get playing Book of Shadows:

• Once the game loads, click on the "…" menu to view the paytable and bonuses.
• Adjust your bet. You can wager between .10 and 100 coins per spin.
• Decide if you’d like to play on 10, 15 or 20 paylines (using the Shadow Row function). 
• Hit the spin button and have fun! Remember to set a budget and if the fun stops, you have to stop.

Book of Shadows is playable on any device from £0.10 to £100 per spin. At least, this is the cost at the default 3 row setting. By clicking on the grid, players can activate 4 or even 5 rows. Doing so increases the bet by 1.5x or 2x, respectively. RTP is also row dependent, meaning 3, 4, or 5 rows in play produce ratings of 96.01%, 96.07%, or 96.19% respectively. In all cases, volatility remains the same – 10/10, or as Nolimit classifies it 'Extreme'.

Book of Shadows Symbols

Core rules are pretty standard. Land matching symbols left to right from the first reel for a win. As you'd imagine, more rows mean more paylines, so 3, 4, or 5 rows provides 10, 15 or 20 Shadow Rows, as they are called. Ten regular symbols make up the paytable, starting with 10-A royals, followed by an eyeball, a butterfly, a goat's skull, a purple cat, and a female goth. Low pays need at least three of a kind to win, while the premiums payout when at two or more line up. Premium values are also satisfyingly high when five of a kinds land, paying out from 50x to 500x the stake. As is standard in most 'Book of' slots, the scatter doubles as a wild symbol here.

Book of Shadows Features

Free spins with expandable symbols remain the most desirable moment here, but there are a couple of extra features including Lucky Locks, Gamble 50/50, and the Gamble Wheel of Bonus.

Let's tackle the Lucky Locks first. Similar to Microgaming's Hyperspins feature, players can lock reels in place for an adjusted bet. Available after every main game spin, players can lock up to 4 reels in place. The cost depends on the reel, the symbol types on the reels, and so on. It is possible to lock two scatters and respin the rest in hopes of landing the third if you so choose.

No 'Book of' slot is complete without the ability to gamble your winnings. The 50/50 gamble feature is available after free spins or base game wins. It's a simple black or red card pick that will double or nothing your money. Up to five gambles can take place in a row, as long as the winning amount is less than £500,000.

The Wheel of Bonus allows you to gamble for the chance to win free spins – as long as the winnings do not exceed 60x the bet. A wheel with a highlighted segment spins, the size depends on the amount of your win. Land in the segment to pick up 10 free spins at the current row height.

What it all comes down to is the free spins game, triggered by landing 3 or more book symbols in view - 3 scatters award 10 free spins at the current row height, but you can increase or decrease the number of rows to receive more or less free spins.

Before the round starts, a golden symbol is randomly chosen. If you're not pleased with the one offered you can reshuffle once in hopes of an upgrade. It can work the opposite way though, so beware.

During free spins, golden symbols expand to cover full reels after any win lines have been evaluated. Expanded golden symbols pay all win lines from any position; they do not have to be adjacent. The ultimate result is five goth girls on a 5 row grid for a 10,000 times the stake win. Also, landing 3 or more book scatters on a free spin retriggers the feature.

The bonus game is triggered every 154 spins theoretically, yet if you can't wait, there is a feature buy option. If available in your jurisdiction, The Nolimit Bonus, as it is called, costs 60x, 90x, or 120x for 10 free spins with 3, 4 or 5 rows respectively.
