Book of Helios

You are invited to join acclaimed hero Olivia Brave in the latest adventure slot game instalment Book of Helios. The latest offering by leading game developer Betsoft gives you the chance to win a whopping 20,168x your bet.

If you are ready to embark on an adventure, Book of Helios is packed with adventure, especially when it comes to the free spins round where most of the action takes place. Built across 5 reels, three rows, and 10 fixed paylines, the game’s payout percentage is slightly below the average of 95.58%.

Helios is the Greek god of the Sun and is considered to be one of the most prominent and powerful deities in Greek mythology. It is only fitting then that the game has some thrilling maximum win potential.

The design and the graphics of the games have been embellished to capture the theme of the game well. It is set in an ancient temple with stone horses flanking both sides of the reels. Helios himself takes centre stage overlooking the reels. You can spot him atop the reels.

As always, the 10 to A game card symbols are the lowest paying symbols in this game. On the other hand, the highest paying symbols include the flaming bow, the arrow, the whip, Olivia Brave and Heliosus, who pays out 20x your stake for a 5-of-a-kind combination.

Book of Helios free spins

The book symbol is the scatter in this online slot game. Landing 3 book scatter symbols on a single reel spin will earn you 10 free spins. Before the free spins bonus round kicks off, a random pay symbol is randomly selected to act as an expanding symbol.

Whenever this randomly chosen symbol lands, it will expand to cover the reel in its entirety. They can also deliver more substantial wins even without having to be adjacent to each other.

The book symbols, on the other hand, also have a big role to play during this free spins round. They can also expand while still acting as scatter symbols, which could trigger more free spins.

Book of Helios RTP

Verdict

Book of Helios is an online slot game by Betsoft, a software game developer renowned for creating and producing top-notch slot games with various features. We must admit that the moment we landed on the site, we were blown away by the impressive imagery.

However, once we started looking closely at the slot game, we realised that the game was lacking in features. While the game itself and its graphics are a feast for the eyes, the only thing going for it is the free spins bonus round.

The randomly chosen expanding symbol is reminiscent of Microgaming’s Book of Atem’s free spins bonus round. It similarly sees the game pick a random symbol and expand it to cover entire reels.

The buck stops with the free spins bonus round. There is very little to keep players entertained in the base game. There are a lot of false hopes with the book scatter symbol landing regularly on the reels, but even hitting the free spins bonus round is a bit of a challenge in itself.

Of course, you can buy yourself into the free spins bonus round, but that comes at a hefty price. As mentioned, if you are looking for an online slot game with impressive visuals, a superb soundtrack and a Greek mythology theme, this might be the game for you.

It does not do much to push the boundaries in terms of features and mechanics, which is a tad disappointing, especially coming from a game developer such as Betsoft. At the same time, Book of Helios is reminiscent of Play’n GO’s Rich Wilde series, so there is nothing so unique here.
