Book of Shadows Slot Review
Overview
Book of Shadows is Nolimit City’s dark, occult‑themed “Book” slot — high volatility, expanding symbols, adjustable reel height and classic book‑style bonuses with a sinister twist. It’s one of Nolimit’s more traditional games, but with enough brutality and personality to stand out from the crowd.

Mick’s Take
Had a really eventful first 100 spins — proper lively stuff.
Bonus hit three times in the first 100 spins, plus a 20x base win, which had me thinking this was going to be a cracking session.
Here’s how it went:
- Bonus 1: Spin 28 – 21x
- Bonus 2: Spin 75 – 87x
- Bonus 3: Spin 95 – 24x
After that… it was pretty much done.
The slot went quiet, the momentum died, and it turned into an uphill battle just to hang onto any sort of profit. Managed to scrape a tiny +9.30 over 250 spins, but the early action absolutely carried the run.

Base Game
Book of Shadows uses adjustable reel height — you can play with:
- 3 rows
- 4 rows
- 5 rows
Higher rows = higher volatility and bigger potential.
You also get:
- expanding symbols
- sticky symbols
- gamble wheel
- symbol upgrades
The base game can be quiet, but the adjustable grid gives you control over how brutal you want the slot to be.
Bonus Game
Book of Shadows uses the classic “Book” mechanic — land 3 books to trigger free spins with a random expanding symbol.
Bonus Features
- Random expanding symbol
- Full‑reel expansions
- Pays on any line when expanded
- Chance to re‑roll your symbol
- High volatility, especially with premium symbols
If you land a top symbol, the bonus can explode.
If you land a low symbol, it’s more controlled.
In testing, the bonuses were:
- 21x (spin 28)
- 87x (spin 75)
- 24x (spin 95)
After that, nothing.

SlotTribe Verdict
Book of Shadows started brilliantly with three bonuses in the first 100 spins, but died off afterwards. Finished +9.30 over 250 spins, carried entirely by the early action. Solid slot, but volatile and streaky.
