Book Of Fairytale Beauties

Book Of Fairytale Beauties Slot Review

An ivy-strangled grove of weathered stone pillars, warm light breaking through a dark wood, a gilded brass frame curling into vine tendrils: the setting reads like a storybook somebody spent real money on. Most fairytale slots use that polish to dress up a paytable of generic card symbols, and Book Of Fairytale Beauties doesn’t. It’s one of the rare ones where the theme decides what you actually win, because the heroines are the paytable.

Snow White, Alice and Red Riding Hood are the three richest symbols on the reels, which makes the theme load-bearing rather than scenery. Spinomenal have kept the mechanics classical: a 5×4 grid, 10 fixed paylines and an RTP of 96.01%, with a Book symbol working as both wild and scatter. It sits in the studio’s catalogue alongside 1 Reel – In Wonderland 2 and Majestic King.

Symbols, Lines and Paytable

All symbols pay left to right from the leftmost reel, and only the highest win on each line is paid. Wins are multiplied by the bet per line. Where several lines win in the same round, all of them add together into the total.

The game runs on 10 fixed lines throughout, with no option to reduce that number. Stakes are adjusted per line using the plus and minus buttons, and those are disabled during free spins so the triggering bet carries through unchanged. With the per-line bet doing all the work, a line win is always a simple multiplication of that figure by the symbol value.

The paytable is stacked towards the fairytale women, with Snow White well clear of the rest. Values below are multiples of the bet per line:

• Snow White (woman with apple) – 2: 10, 3: 100, 4: 1,000, 5: 5,000, 6: 10,000
• Red-haired woman (green dress) – 2: 5, 3: 40, 4: 400, 5: 2,000, 6: 4,000
• Alice (blue dress) / Red Riding Hood (red cloak) – 2: 5, 3: 30, 4: 100, 5: 750, 6: 1,500
• A / K – 3: 5, 4: 40, 5: 150, 6: 300
• Q / J / 10 – 3: 5, 4: 25, 5: 100, 6: 200

Even the royals pay from three of a kind, so a six-symbol run of Snow White at 10,000x per line is the prize the whole game is angled towards. Note that those six-symbol combinations are only possible because the grid runs four rows deep across five reels.

The Book symbol is the wild, and it counts as any symbol. It’s also the scatter, and that double job makes it the most valuable symbol in the game, paying up to 500x for six on screen at once.

For longer sessions, autoplay runs continuous spins at the selected bet per line, with a configurable number of rounds and a pause button to stop early. Turbo mode shortens each round to the minimum length, toggled by the rabbit button at the bottom left of the desktop layout or through the settings menu on mobile. It can also be switched on from the autoplay configuration screen.

The Scatter Wild Symbol

The Book is where the game’s whole bonus structure hangs. Because it’s a scatter, it pays wherever it lands, and it doesn’t need to sit on a payline or run left to right like everything else. Three or more anywhere on the slot triggers the free spins round.

The scatter pays are on top of any regular line wins in the same round:

• 3 scattered Books – pays 2x and triggers 10 free spins
• 4 scattered Books – pays 25x and triggers 10 free spins
• 5 scattered Books – pays 250x and triggers 10 free spins
• 6 scattered Books – pays 500x and triggers 10 free spins

When the free spins round starts, the bet per line carries over unchanged from the spin that triggered it. Scatter prizes are paid in addition to any regular payline winnings, so a triggering spin can pay twice over.

Free Spins and the Expanding Symbol

Ten free spins are the reward for landing the Books, but the round has its own twist on the familiar expanding-symbol formula. Instead of one expanding symbol chosen for the whole bonus, a new symbol is randomly assigned on each individual spin, and it acts as the expanding symbol for that spin only. Any symbol can be picked except the scatter Wild.

How the Expansion Works

After each spin’s result is determined, the expanding symbol grows to fill its positions and forms new paylines in addition to the existing ones. The expansion only happens if it will result in a win, so a spin with no possible expansion simply plays out as a normal result.

Two details make the expansion generous. Consecutiveness doesn’t matter here: an expansion pays across every active line it touches, even where the symbols involved don’t sit next to each other. Those expansion payouts are then settled as a separate transaction from the spin’s own result, so one spin can produce two sets of winnings.

Retriggers

Landing three or more scattered Books during the round retriggers it for an additional 10 free spins. With the expanding symbol re-randomised every spin, a long round keeps changing character rather than settling into one repeated pattern.

Buy Feature

For players who’d rather skip the wait, a Buy Feature button sits on the main interface. Clicking it opens a window where you can modify the bet with which the free spins round will be played, and the buy price adjusts according to that bet. Paying the price triggers the free spins round immediately, with everything in the bonus – the per-spin expanding symbol, the non-consecutive pay rule and the retrigger – playing exactly as it would if the Books had landed naturally.

It’s a straightforward purchase, and it’s the only shortcut the game offers.

Our Honest Verdict

Overall Rating: 7.7/10

This is a waiting game with a lovely view. The grove and its gilded frame are genuinely well drawn, and because the fairytale women are the richest symbols in the game, the theme is the reason to sit down rather than a wrapper around ten fixed lines.

The bonus is the strength. Re-rolling the expanding symbol every single spin means a ten-spin round never settles into a rut, and expansions that pay without needing consecutive symbols give it a softness the base game doesn’t have. The base game is the weakness: until the Books turn up, there’s very little happening that the paytable can’t already tell you.

It suits players who enjoy a slow, classical Book build and don’t need twenty features between bonuses. Anyone chasing constant action will find this grove too quiet. For those who like their fairytales patient, it’s a handsomely told one.
