Hot Slot: Great Book of Magic Slot by Wazdan 🎰 Free Demo and Review

Hot Slot: Great Book of Magic Review

The ‘book slot’ genre is a tough one to compete in, and Wazdan has tried before with a few previous installments. Hot Slot™: Great Book of Magic is their third installment in that regard, and we have a feeling that this one will make more of a splash. Wazdan has included 2 of their hallmark special symbols, namely Sticky To Infinity and Collect To Infinity. These are super helpful in the base game, making this release stick out from the herd.

The alchemy wizard theme is nicely done as well, and it’s definitely an upgrade from the 2 predecessors. You can choose your preferred volatility and pace from 3 different settings as usual, which can greatly shorten the time between bonus round triggers. The Collect To Infinity symbol collects extra free spins until the feature triggers, and the bonus round comes with the usual Expanding Symbol ‘book mechanic’ system (with a higher than usual 6,000x potential).

Hot Slot™: Great Book of Magic Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 75 and 500 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the Book Scatter symbol serves double duty as a Wild symbol as well. As a Wild, the book substitutes for pay symbols to help complete and/or improve wins. As a scatter, the book pays 2x, 20x, or 200x your stake for 3, 4, or 5 anywhere in view.

You need at least 3 scatters in view to trigger the Bonus Round, and Scatters marked by the Sticky To Infinity sign remain sticky until the bonus round triggers. In addition, you can land a Free Spins Collector symbol, and it comes with a Collect To Infinity feature. It increases +1 in value per non-Sticky To Infinity scatter that appears, and the number is added to your free spins tally when the bonus round finally triggers.

The Bonus Round triggers from 3 Book Scatters in view, and the Book opens up to randomly select what will become the special Expanding Bonus symbol for the feature. The Expanding Symbol expands just as long as you land enough instances to create a win, and this symbol does not need to land on adjacent reels to create a win. All Expanding Symbol wins involve all 10 paylines, and you can retrigger the bonus round to get extra spins.

There is a Bonus Buy menu available in some jurisdictions, but not in the UK for sure. It comes with 6 options this time, and these are as follows:

• Standard - pay 80x your stake to get 10 free spins.
• High - pay 150x your stake to get 20 free spins.
• Ultra - pay 300x your stake to get 30 free spins.
• Extreme - pay 600x your stake to get 40 free spins.
• Double Extreme - pay 1,200x your stake to get 60 free spins.
• Triple Extreme - pay 1,800x your stake to get 80 free spins.

You get a decent taste of the base game, before we purchase the top-tier Triple Extreme Bonus Round at 0:47 into the 7:51-minute highlights video. We got the cauldron symbol as the Expanding Bonus symbol, which is the lowest tier of the premium symbols. You can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

The 2 previous installments in the Great Book of Magic series never caught on properly, but we have a feeling Hot Slot™: Great Book of Magic is going to be a game-changer in that regard. Wazdan has paired it with their popular Hot Slot concept, and you thus get hallmark features like Sticky To Infinity And Collect To Infinity. Collecting extra free spins until the bonus round triggers is a really attractive feature that you don’t see in other ‘book slots’, and this 3rd installment is also visually superior to the previous two.

The 5x3 grid is placed in the chambers of a mysterious alchemist of some kind, and the pace is excellent with the turbo switched on. You can plow through plenty of spins in no-time, which shortens the time between bonus round triggers. The number of extra free spins you can get is the big twist in this release, really, but the 6,000x potential is also a bit higher than the standard recipe most ‘book slots’ follow. It all adds up to a highly playable and enjoyable book slot, and you can even adjust the volatility in 3 settings as you see fit.
