Book of Vlad Review

Dracula has always been significant in pop culture, recognized as one of the most popular vampire characters, and we've seen him many times appear in the slots world. Now, with Book of Vlad by Endorphina, the legendary bloodsucker finally gets his own book-style game, and players are invited to his creepy castle for a chance to win amazing rewards.

Although we've seen pretty much everything in the book niche, developer Endorphina still manages to surprise fans of the genre. Not only Book of Vlad comes with a fantasy vampires theme instead of a classic Egyptian one, but it also offers a significantly enhanced gameplay, allowing players to turn every single pay symbol into special expanding symbols. Anyway, back to the surface, Book of Vlad is beautifully designed, with high-end graphics and clean smooth animations. The design team has put a lot of effort into the game's outer look, so it feels really pleasing to the eye and immerses you into the dark sinister atmosphere.

Book of Vlad Slot - Reel Screen

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, so it should appeal to both high-rollers and less risky players. The volatility tends to the high side of the spectrum, while the RTP clocks in at 96.01%, which is a solid average.

As for the max win, players can hope for payouts up to 5,000x the stake on a single spin here, which is also quite standard in the book slots genre.

As we head over to the paytable, we see familiar A-J royals, which make up the lower pays, and a bunch of more theme-related symbols. Those include in ascending order gargoyles, carriages, cups, and Vlad Dracula himself. Three or more low symbols create a winning combination, while the premiums need only two. Low symbols wins are worth from 10x to 15x your bet, and higher symbols award from 75x to 500x the bet.

Book of Vlad Slot Features

Well, as you might expect, Book of Vlad relies heavily on the Free Spins feature, which is where most wins come from. However, Endorphina has taken a slightly different approach and added a few new perks to the classic 'book' free games.

Much like any other slot with similar mechanics, Book of Vlad has book symbols that act as both Scatters and Wild, meaning that they not only substitute for any other regular symbols in winning combinations but also play into the features.

Landing 3 or more instances anywhere in view during the base game awards 7 Free Spins with expanding bloody symbols. What's new is that the free spins bonus doesn't start with a randomly chosen expanding symbol, and you need to accumulate blood drops to turn regular symbols into expanding.

Book of Vlad Slot - Free Spins

Each symbol can land with a blood drop attached to it, and when such a symbol appears on the reels, it fills the respective symbol meter by 1. In the beginning, 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 a bloody symbol, plus you receive +2 extra spins. Bloody symbols expand to cover the reels entirely if there are enough symbols in view to complete a winning combination. More than that, expanding symbols do not necessarily have to land adjacently. Finally, landing 3 or more Scatter symbols on the reels during the feature awards +3 additional free spins.

Last but not least is the Gamble feature, which allows you to increase your winnings. If you manage to beat the dealer's card, your payout will be doubled and you can gamble again, up to 10 times. Should you make a wrong move though, all winning will be lost.

The average RTP of the gamble feature is 84%.

Review Summary

All in all, Book of Vlad is definitely an enjoyable slot with several tricks to keep players hooked onto it. First of all, it has a terrific vampire theme, which you don't get to see very often in the book niche. Then, while it sports well-known mechanics, the features laid down here work in a slightly different and unique way, providing new gameplay experiences for the players. The math model is also balanced fairly well, with the stats sticking to average figures, and all that combined makes Book of Vlad a worthy alternative to classic Egyptian slots.
