Book of Horror - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

A fine game from Spinomenal, the Book of Horrors slot is squarely aimed at those who think Halloween should be a national holiday. With a simple 5x4 reel table and 10 paylines, it’s an easy to play game with a decent total betting range of 0.10 to 100.00. The game’s RTP of 96.12% is pretty decent and we all love a game that offers a buy-in feature. The main highlight, 10 free spins with an expanding symbol, is where the biggest wins are most likely to occur, but with a high paying x5000 payline win possible in the base game, anything is possible.

Theme and Graphics

An unashamed celebration of all things horror and Halloween related, the symbols in this slot include a pumpkin, witch, gravestone, potion and the titular book of horror. While the imagery is a little dated, the graphics are still crisp, clear and instantly familiar. The main colour theme is purple and the game takes place at the dead of night. Beyond the reels lies the witches lair, a treehouse with windows and orange lights. A haunting soundtrack and eerie sound FX help build the narrative. During the free spins feature the heavens open and rain animation flashes across the screen.

How to Play Book of Horror 

Before you start the game, take a moment to familiarise yourself with the game set-up:

1. Locate the ‘per line’ wager function to the lower left of the reels. Use the plus and minus buttons to adjust the bet per line. Choose from a range of 0.01 per line to 10.00 per line. Below this the total bet will be displayed (0.10 to 100.00).
2. Directly below the reels is a large green spin button. Hit this when you are ready to go, or hit the smaller autospin to the right of this to start automatic spinning. The reels will continue to spin automatically until you hit the auto button again.
3. To the left of the spin button is a ‘buy feature’ button, which allows you to buy into the free spins feature (see below). 
4. At any time you can read the game features and view the paytable by clicking on the question mark button to the lower left. 
5. Below the question mark are three settings buttons: full screen, volume and game speed.

Book of Horror Bonus Features

Scatter/Wild Spell Book

The spell book, complete with freaky eye, serves as both your scatter and wild. That means that it substitutes or all other symbols to help create paylines wins, but it also pays out for landing three or more times anywhere on the reels AND it can trigger the free spins feature (below).

Free Spins Feature with Expanding Symbol

There are two ways to access the free spins feature. Either by landing three or more scatter symbols in the base game, or by clicking the ‘buy feature’ button below the reels. Whichever way you find yourself in the free spins feature, you will be awarded ten spins. Before the spins start the reel table is removed from the screen and replaced with a single reel, which contains all the main game symbols. Spin the reel to discover which symbol will become the special expanding symbol for the free spins feature. Any time that symbol occurs during your ten free spins, it will expand to fill an entire reel, provided the expansion results in payline wins. 

Overall Book of Horror Review

Book of Horror is an excellent game, but with arguably dated graphics and just ten paylines, you might wonder why it rates so highly? At the core of this game is a free spins feature with a random expanding wild, and even the chance buy-in to the free spins feature for those who simply can’t wait. The game has a decent RTP of over 96%, a good total bet range and some impressive base game max wins. For anyone with a predilection for all things witchy, this fun game from Spinomenal is a great choice. 

You’ll find many other excellent Spinomenal slots availabe in demo mode at Slots Temple, such as mythical Poseidon’s Rising, the legendary Trojan Tales and the enigmatic Queen of Fire. If you want to stick with the scary theme, why not try another horror themed slot such as Horror House from Booming Games, a highly volatile slot with repsins, free spins and max paylines of 3125.
