PLAY EXPANDING SYMBOLS SLOTS FOR FREE

Below you can find our library of expanding symbols slots, each of these comprehensive reviews includes a free play demo so you can get to grips with the game, and experience all that you read about in our detailed slot articles. 

During the bonus round on an expanding symbols slot, the specific symbol that you are allocated at the beginning of the free spins has the capability to trigger a reel expansion and fill all of the positions that are available on that reel. Generally you will need a minimum of 3 of the lower paying symbols to land for a reel expansion to take place, whilst premium paying symbols tend to cause the reels to expand for only 2 landing. 

Not all slots that feature the expanding symbol can award you with multiple chances of reel expansions. The games that do facilitate this feature firstly require players to re-trigger the bonus round, once this has been achieved then an additional symbol can be added to your original icon. It should be noted that the slots that offer this feature can be re-triggered several times.

This all depends on the expanding symbol slot that you are playing. Some of these games will automatically choose your symbol at random for you, whilst others will give you the choice, which in effect means you get to select the volatility and potential outcome of your bonus.

You can play expanding symbols slots for a minimal cost and still experience all of the highs and lows that these games have to offer. Generally speaking you should be able to get the reels spinning on any slot that features expanding reels for €/£0.20 or less.

In the ever growing niche of expanding symbols slots there are now a huge selection available for players to try. We recommend that you try Book of Ra, Magic Mirror Deluxe 2, Gun Slinger Fully Reloaded, Rise of Merlin, Book of Dead, and Book of Gods. 

Slots that feature the expanding symbol were first made popular with the release of Novomatic's Book of Ra slot, and since then countless clones of this game have been made. We still really enjoy playing the old games that have expanding symbols and reels as well as the new releases that keep popping up in casino lobbies.

Most players tend to have a favourite game they go to when wanting to play expanding reels slots, and more often than not it is Play'n Go's Book of Dead. More recently Big Time Gaming launched Book of Gods which peaked interest in these games again, and since then we have seen a flurry of new slots hitting the market including the first Megaways™ expanding symbols slots from Blueprint Gaming named Legacy of Ra Megaways™. In our opinion they are definitely worth trying out and through our free play catalogue of expanding symbol slots you can find out which one you like playing the most.
