- Another spooky slot coming out for Halloween
- Choose your hero depending on the feature you want
- Lots of free spins are available in this game
Book of Darkness slot is a new one from Betsoft that has a slight Halloween theme I suppose, though not as much as others this time of year. There are several bonuses, all revolving around free spins and battles where you can end up with some sizeable multipliers or lots of expanding symbols. It looks great in general, and you have 5 reels with 3 rows to give you 10 paylines. You need a winning combination from left to right using the base symbols. These are as follows, ranked in ascending order based on their value:
- Queen, King or Ace
- Dagger or Potion
- Ring or Gems
- Dark Wizard or Huntress
There’s another symbol in the game too, the book of darkness. This is a wild symbol, substituting for all other symbols in a winning combination but no the huntress or dark wizard if they’re triggering the clash for power feature (more on this shortly). It’s also a scatter symbol offering payouts on its own and being used to trigger the free spins bonus.

Book of Darkness Slot Bonuses and Features
Free Spins Bonus. You need at least 3 scatter to trigger this, giving you 10 free spins. 4 scatters will give you 15 and 5 will give you 20. During the bonus, a symbol (apart from the book itself) will be chosen and whenever it appears on at least 3 reels, it will expand to fill each reel.
Clash for Power. If you get a combination of either the huntress, book and dark wizard or dark wizard, hunter and book on a straight line on the reels, this feature will be triggered. You then choose a fighter and the battle ensues! For this you’ll be given free spins when each hero expanding to fill the reels whenever it lands. This also fills the corresponding meter, and winning with your hero will unlock shadowform. This is another feature giving you 10 free spins. If your hero was the huntress and she won, all wins will be multiplied by 5x. If your hero was the dark wizard and he won, you’ll get 5 expanding symbols.
Conclusion
Book of Darkness slot from Betsoft has a great design and theme with lots of features to keep you engaged, even allowing you to choose your own hero which in turn can offer a different feature based on what you would prefer. You have 3 bonuses really; a standard free spins bonus with expanding symbol, like you’d find on a number of other slots but by no means a bad feature, a battle to try and get your hero to win, and shadow form which is where the better rewards come from. I think it’s a lot of fun, but for me it’s let down by a low maximum payout of just over 1,000x your stake. This is disappointing and will no doubt put quite a few players off, but other than that it’s a great game that’s lots of fun and really stands out. You can also find other Betsoft titles here if you’re interested.
