Book of Shadows is a witchcraft themed video slot from game provider Nolimit City. The slot is played out over a format of 5 reels, where for an increased stake size you are given the opportunity to play with a higher amount of rows on each reel, which adds more paylines.

The highlight of the game is the free spin feature, where the expanding symbol will take centre stage. As this is a super high volatile slot and the creators are Nolimit City, there are of course huge wins up for grabs!

BOOK OF SHADOWS THEME, STAKES, PAYS & SYMBOLS

The witchcraft theme that Nolimit City have gone for with Book of Shadows has a bit of a Blair Witch project feel about it. This is further enhanced with the eerie game music and the reels set on a background of a spooky and mystical forest. 

As we move over to the paytable we see that the lower value symbols of the slot consist of the royal cards 10 through to the ace, with pays reaching up to 25x when wins are formed through them. The premium paying symbols are reserved for the potion, butterfly, ram skull, cat and the witch, where a 5 of a kind win will pay 50x, 75x, 100x, 150x and 500x respectively. 

Getting into the action on Book of Shadows can cost as little as €0.10 a spin, whilst the maximum stake reaches €100 a play. Impressively on Nolimit City's behalf, there are 11 bet sizes that can be played at ranging from €2 down to the minimum stake.

The default reel setting on Book of Shadows is 5 reels with rows of symbols that are 3 high. This will give you 10 fixed paylines in place during your gameplay. You can spin the reels with more rows in play if you click on the arrow that is pointing upward, but this will come at an additional cost.

If you choose to play with 5 reels that are 4 rows high, then it will cost you another 0.5x of your current stake. Choosing to play with 5 reels that are 5 rows high, will cost you double your current stake.

BOOK OF SHADOWS FREE SPIN FEATURE

The free spin bonus on Book of Shadows will be activated when 3 or more of the book scatter symbols land anywhere in view. Once this has been triggered you will be taken to a separate screen where you will have a couple of important decisions to make.

Before the free spin bonus begins you will be awarded an expanding symbol on the left page of the book. If you'd like to change this symbol then you will get one shuffle opportunity when a new symbol will be awarded to you.

The second decision that you have to make takes place on the right hand side of the book. Here you can alter the height of the rows that you are playing with. The more rows that you choose to play with, the lower the amount of free spins you will have.

When you finally reach the free spin feature, you will see that it plays out just the same as any other expanding symbol slot. So the whole aim of the bonus is to get your selected symbol to land on as many of the reels as possible. 

If you have been awarded a lower value symbol, then you will need it to land on 3 or more reels for them to expand and pay you a win. If however you have a premium paying symbol, then you will only need it to land on 2 reels for them to expand and a win to be paid. 

Additional free spins can be awarded through 3 or more of the book scatter symbols landing anywhere in view. An extra 10 spins will be added to your current total if you activate this re-trigger.

Any wins that are achieved in the base game on Book of Shadows can be gambled. If you choose to gamble then you will be given two options. You can take your chances on the cards where correctly selecting the next colour will double your win, or you can go to the gamble wheel where landing on the red section will trigger the free spin feature.

For those who are playing from a region where you are still able to buy a bonus, you will be happy to know that you can get straight into the action on Book of Shadows.

There are 3 options that you can choose from and they are the following.

• 10 Free Spins with 5 reels and 3 rows = 60x stake.
• 10 Free Spins with 5 reels and 4 rows = 90x stake.
• 10 Free Spins with 5 reels and 5 rows = 120x stake.

You could definitely be forgiven for thinking " oh no, not another book and expanding symbol slot " but it has to be remembered that the awesome Nolimit City are the game developer behind Book of Shadows.

With an ever growing reputation from slots like Deadwood, there is almost an air of anticipation now with each slot that Nolimit City release, and they have once again produced the goods with their take on the expanding symbol slot. 

As always the graphics and smoothness of play are spot on, and the ability to be able to adjust the rows in the base game and free spin feature is a touch of genius, and something never seen before in the expanding symbol series.

Nolimit City continue to innovate and Book of Shadows is a testament to that fact. This is a slot provider that continues to produce quality games that players love, and the way that they are driving their product forward with bigger and better releases, we're beginning to think that there really is no limit as to what these guys can do!
