Book of Vlad

Book of Vlad Review

Dracula, a prominent figure in pop culture and a popular vampire character, now stars in his own book-style game, Book of Vlad. Players are invited to his castle for a chance to win rewards.

Although the book niche is familiar, the developer surprises fans. Book of Vlad features a vampire theme instead of an Egyptian one and offers enhanced gameplay, allowing players to turn every pay symbol into special expanding symbols. Book of Vlad boasts high-end graphics and smooth animations. The design team has created a dark and immersive atmosphere.

Playable on any device, the Book of Vlad slot takes place across a standard 5x3 reel set, where players can choose from 1 to 10 paylines to play with. The game comes with a betting range of €0.1 to €100 per spin, appealing to all players. The volatility is high, while the RTP is 96.01%, a solid average. Players can hope for payouts up to 5,000x the stake on a single spin.

The paytable includes A-J royals, the lower pays, and theme-related symbols like gargoyles, carriages, cups, and Vlad Dracula. Three or more low symbols create a winning combination, while the premiums need only two. Low symbol wins range from 10x to 15x your bet, and higher symbols award from 75x to 500x the bet.

Book of Vlad Slot Features

Book of Vlad relies heavily on the Free Spins feature.

Book symbols act as both Scatters and Wilds, substituting for any regular symbols in winning combinations and playing into the features. Landing 3 or more anywhere in view during the base game awards 7 Free Spins with expanding symbols. The free spins bonus doesn't start with a randomly chosen expanding symbol; you need to accumulate drops to turn regular symbols into expanding ones.

Each symbol can land with a drop attached to it, filling the respective symbol meter by 1. Each symbol counter has 5 cells, and every activated symbol adds an additional cell to all other meters, up to 12. When a symbol meter is filled, that symbol turns into an expanding symbol, plus you receive +2 extra spins. Expanding symbols cover the reels entirely if there are enough symbols to complete a winning combination and do not have to land adjacently. Landing 3 or more Scatter symbols on the reels during the feature awards +3 additional free spins.

The Gamble feature allows you to increase your winnings. If you beat the dealer's card, your payout is doubled, and you can gamble again, up to 10 times. A wrong move loses all winnings. The average RTP of the gamble feature is 84%.

Review Summary

Book of Vlad is an enjoyable slot with tricks to keep players hooked. It has a vampire theme, which is rare in the book niche. While it sports well-known mechanics, the features work uniquely. The math model is balanced fairly well, with average stats, making Book of Vlad a worthwhile alternative to classic slots.
