Book of Loki offers a return to player of 95.8% which although a little lower than competitors and this is a highly volatile slot with a maximum pay-out that stands at a respectable 5,000x your total stake.

Bonus Features

As legend states Loki was a mischievous character and whilst his tricky nature is not that evident, and the game play is basic. There is only a single bonus feature, and this is one that you will most likely have seen before.

The mysterious Book of Loki symbol has dual purpose as it is the wild that can replace all the regular symbols. It is also the games scatter and landing 3, 4 or 5 on the same spin and you will be rewarded with 2x, 20x or 200x your total stake. This is also the way you can trigger the single feature in this slot and once triggered you are immediately awarded 10 free spins. This is the same whether you activate the feature with 3, 4 or 5 scatters.

Prior to the free spins beginning one symbol is chosen at random and will become the special expanding symbol, and every time the symbol appears during the free spins it will expand and fill the entire reel or even better reels. The special expanding symbol pays out in the same style as the scatter in the feature and the symbols do not have to be on adjoining reels for you to create a win. Therefore, matching symbols on your 1st, 3rd, and 5th reels will still create a winning combination for you.

The wild scatters cannot substitute for the expanding symbol during the free spins although it is possible to retrigger the feature by landing three or more of the Book of Loki on the same spin and you will then reactivate a further 10 free spins.

Conclusion

Book of Loki is a simple slot and the developers at 1x2 Gaming have done the best things by not overcomplicating things. Although there is only the single free spin feature with expanding symbols, but this is worth landing as you could end up with the maximum pay-out of 5,000x your stake.

It is true that the feature has been used in a lot of slots and although not what you would describe as innovative it does provide you with plenty of opportunities to land the big wins. I enjoyed paying this slot as I like the basic aspect coupled with the volatility and would have no hesitation recommending it to other players both new, beginners or the more advanced.
