Book Of Demi Gods 2 Christmas Edition Slot Review
A stone citadel burns orange under a churning sky, and someone has strung holly and coloured lights along the battlements. The festive frame is the whole pitch here: Spinomenal have taken a mythic book slot and changed nothing but the wrapping, betting that the format underneath is strong enough to carry a seasonal reskin on its own.
The bet is a fair one. Underneath the garlands sits a 5×4 grid with 10 fixed lines, 95.9% RTP and high volatility, with a scatter Wild carrying a free spins round built around an expanding symbol. Spinomenal work this template hard, and Book Of Demi Gods IV The Golden Era and Book Of Xmas Jingle Bells cover similar ground, as does 1 Reel Demi Gods II in a very different shape.
The Base Game and Its Symbols
All symbols pay left to right from the leftmost reel, and only the highest win on each line counts. Wins are multiplied by the bet per line, and every qualifying combination in a round adds together into the total. Ten lines, no more and no less, fixed.
The Wild is the book itself, and it doubles as the scatter: it counts as any symbol, and three or more scattered anywhere pay on top of regular line wins. The scatter pays look like this:
- 3 scattered Wilds: 2x, and triggers 10 free spins
- 4 scattered Wilds: 25x, and triggers 10 free spins
- 5 scattered Wilds: 250x, and triggers 10 free spins
Those scatter prizes are multiples of the total bet, paid in addition to any line wins from the same spin. The paying symbols are a mythic cast with a festive paint job, and their values below are multiples of the bet per line:
- Warrior (king figure): 100x for two, 1,000x for three, 10,000x for four, 50,000x for five
- Woman figure: 50x for two, 400x for three, 4,000x for four, 20,000x for five
- Winged artifact: 50x for two, 300x for three, 1,000x for four, 7,500x for five
- Castle: 50x for two, 300x for three, 1,000x for four, 7,500x for five
- A and K: 50x for three, 400x for four, 1,500x for five
- Q, J and 10: 50x for three, 250x for four, 1,000x for five
It’s a classic book-slot spread: characters pay generously at the top, royals pay scraps, and the gaps between them are wide. Two-of-a-kind pays on the premium symbols soften the base game slightly, since a pair of kings or women returns something rather than nothing.
Beyond the scatter Wild there’s nothing else running in the base game. No random modifiers, no second feature waiting in the wings. The reels spin, lines pay, and the book does all the rest.
Staking is handled through the plus and minus buttons, which set the bet per line, and those controls lock during the free spins round so the triggering bet carries through unchanged. Auto play runs continuous spins at the chosen bet, with a configuration screen for the number of spins and a pause button to stop early. Turbo Mode shortens each round to the minimum animation, toggled by the rabbit button at the bottom left on desktop or through the settings menu on mobile, and it’s available from the auto play screen as well.
Free Spins and the Expanding Symbol
Three or more scattered Wilds award 10 free spins, with the bet per line carried over from the triggering round. Before the spins begin, a wheel of all the symbols except the scatter Wild is spun to pick one expanding symbol for the whole round. The round then plays out like this:
- Each free spin resolves as a normal base game result first.
- If the chosen expanding symbol appears, it expands after that result is determined.
- The expansion happens only when it creates a win, so a dead spin stays dead.
- Expanded symbols pay separately from the original result.
How the Expansion Pays
The generous part is how the expanded symbol pays. It counts in all active lines whether or not its symbols sit consecutively, and it pays according to the paytable in every one of them. Land the right symbol across the reels and a single spin can produce several full lines at once, stacked on top of whatever the base result already paid.
Which symbol the wheel lands on matters more than it might appear. A royal as the expanding symbol fills lines cheaply but pays the small end of the table, while a premium character expanding across the 5×4 grid turns each appearance into multiple paid lines at once. The round’s outcome leans heavily on that one wheel spin before a single free spin plays.
Retriggers
The round can retrigger. Three or more scattered Wilds during free spins award an additional 10 spins. A retrigger with a premium symbol already covering the reels is where the big sessions come from.
Buy Feature
The BUY FEATURE button skips the waiting entirely. Clicking it opens a window where the bet for the purchased round can be adjusted, and the buy price is set according to that bet. Pay the price and the free spins round triggers immediately, wheel spin and all.
It’s a straightforward single-option purchase: one round, one price scaled to the chosen bet, no tiered variants. The same expanding symbol rules apply as in a triggered round, and the retrigger works the same way too.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 6.9/10
This is a one-round game wearing a very nice Christmas jumper. You sit through a lean ten-line base game, watching the burning citadel and its garlands, because everything this slot has to give arrives in the free spins – and the wheel pick means a single spin decides whether the round is a dud or a screen-filler before it even starts.
That expanding symbol is the best thing here, because it pays across all ten lines regardless of where its symbols sit, which is the most generous reading of the mechanic you’ll find anywhere. The worst thing is everything around it: high volatility on ten lines makes the gaps between bonuses long, and the festive skin adds nothing to play.
It suits someone who already likes the book format and fancies it with snow on. Anyone wanting layered features or steady small wins won’t find them under the holly. The gods hand out exactly one gift, and it’s a good one.
