These stunning graphics are complemented by a truly haunting soundtrack that is perfect for this magic filled slot.

When it comes to the symbols you can expect to come across magic potions, mystery rings, enchanted crystals along with the main characters and the powerful book which will unlock the free spins feature. The lower paying symbols are made up of the usual playing card symbols Queen, King and Ace. At any point in any round the symbols can expand, and the Dark Wizard and the Huntress continue to fight to reward you with multipliers and bonus games plus additional symbol expansions.

Book of Darkness Features

When it comes to the features that the slot offers there is an auto play function which is ideal if you would rather sit back and watch the game unfold before you, and there is also a turbo option where you can speed up the reels. When it comes to the background music you get the choice to either listen to the slot sound effects or both.
When it comes to special symbols it is the Book that takes the place of both the wild and scatter symbols, with the wild substituting for symbols to create winning combinations and as the scatter it activates the free games and landing 3, 4, or 5, will see you rewarded with 2x, 20x, or 200x, your stake as well as 10, 15, and 20 free spins respectively. When you are playing the scatter free spins any of the symbols except the Book can also expand to fill an entire reel where you have three or more of the same symbols showing.

This slot offers another free spin feature, and this is activated when the Book, Huntress and Dark Wizard land next to each other on the same row the Clash for Power free games are activated. Next to the reels is where you will find the Hero meters one either side, which begin to fill every time the Huntress or Dark Wizard appear. Before the Clash for Power begins you need to choose a character and if the meter fills first you will unlock the levels of the Shadowform but if you choose the wrong character the round ends.

You are rewarded with 10 Shadowform free spins, if the Huntress wins the any wins that are created using the wild will be multiplied by 5. The Dark Wizard free spins increase the chances of landing the expanding symbols from three to five and can see the entire game covered with the same symbol for a big win.

Conclusion

This type of magic fantasy theme is hugely popular, and Book of Darkness is an excellent example of a slot that is filled with supernatural, mystical characters and magical symbols. The Story behind the slot is not the most imaginative but the slot looks so good that it does not make any difference. The slot is unique in so much as offering several free spin features which all lead to some additional wins as well as the expanding symbols that guarantees a good pay out.
I thoroughly enjoyed playing this slot and would advise anyone to open the Book of Darkness and see what it can reveal. I would rate this as a solid 7/10 and would urge everyone to give this a spin or two.
