It is good to see that No Limit City ripped up the rule book when they designed Book of Shadows, for whilst it offers a 5 x 3 video reel set up, that structure can be changed by players and become either a 5 x 4 or 5 x 4 format. This slot was launched in August 2020.
Dependent on the structure chosen three additional features can come into play, however one thing that will not change no matter which one is chosen is the impressive 96.01% RTP and the 30,388 times your wager jackpot payout.

Being a highly volatile video slot you need to think long and hard about the playing structure you do send into live play, as it will be the following unique bonus features that can be awarded based on which one you choose.
Shadow Rows – The three options available are 10 lines with 3 rows, 15 pay lines boasting 4 rows and 20 lines with 5 rows. Be aware though the stake will increase if you do boost the number of pay lines and rows you have in live play. Below are the features that can be awarded on each of those three playing formats.
Lucky Locks – Players can opt to lock reels into position and play off a re-spin at the end of any base game spin, however the cost of doing so will vary dependent on just which reels are secured into position.
Free Spins with Golden Symbol – Once 10 free spins have been triggered players are randomly awarded an expanding scatter symbol for the duration of that bonus game, however there is the option to refuse the initial symbol chosen and be awarded, once again at random, with a different one.
Gamble – A double or nothing type of gamble game can be taken, however there is also the chance of gambling your winnings to gain access to the free spin feature round.
Graphics, Reel Symbols and Backdrop
I am not overly impressed with the look and feel of Book of Shadows, for the reel symbols are quite basic and include the often found playing card symbols which are for reference the lower paying ones. The backdrop of the slot is somewhat basic too, but the reel symbols can become animated at times.
Summary
If you are a fan of fully configurable slot machines, then the Book of Shadows slot is worth checking out. You can pick from three different playing formats, each of which offers a different bonus feature.
