Golden Grimoire is a game full of magic and spells, and it was launched by NetEnt 22 February 2019. It’s a low to medium variance title, and the win potential is 200 times your stake. The game comes with 5 reels, 4 rows and 40 fixed paylines, and graphically the game looks really good. The Mystery symbol can transform into any other symbol including wilds, and they even become sticky in the game’s free spins feature.
Before we take a closer look at this exciting NetEnt game we thought you might like to get an overview of Golden Grimoire’s most relevant technical data:
The game’s RTP is a bit higher than the industry average, but nothing out of the ordinary. It comes with low to medium volatility, which means you can expect smaller payouts fairly often from this game. The win potential is not super high, but you can still take home 40 000 coins as a max win.
The first thing you might ask yourself when loading up this game is “What the heck is a Grimoire anyway?”. Quite simply, it’s a book of spells or instructions on how to create magical objects. And indeed, Golden Grimoire is a slot packed with magic and mystery in more than one way.
The game comes with 5 reels, 4 rows and 40 fixed paylines, and it’s all about the Mystery symbol spellbook that will transform into any other symbol, including wilds. In the free spins feature these Mystery symbols even become sticky, and you can win some decent wins – especially if they turn into wilds.
Graphically the game looks great – as you can expect from NetEnt – and the name of the artists and creators of this slot are hidden like “easter eggs” in pentagrams and glowing symbols on the walls. If you’re looking for a touch of magic in what can be a stressful everyday life, this game might be something you’ll appreciate.
Golden Grimoire comes with some interesting bonus features, and we’ll start by talking about the Mystery Symbol feature. When at least one Spellbook symbol lands on the reels, a random symbol is selected to replace it. This includes the wild symbol. The Mystery Spellbook symbols can appear on reel 3, 4 and 5, and they will all transform into the chosen symbol.
What’s even cooler is that if the Mystery symbol is identical to the leftmost symbol on the same row, all the symbols in between will also be transformed to the chosen symbol. In cases where the Mystery symbol becomes a wild symbol, all symbols between the Mystery symbol and the leftmost symbols will turn into wild symbols, no matter what’s on the leftmost reel.
Golden Grimoire slot also comes with a free spins feature that will be triggered when you land 3 scatters on reel 1, 3 and 5 at the same time. You will promptly be rewarded with 8 free spins, and the regular Mystery symbol is now replaced by a Sticky Mystery symbol that can appear on reel 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Sticky Mystery symbols will remain in position throughout the free spins feature, but other than that they act more or less the same as the regular Mystery symbol. Of course, if you’re lucky enough to get some Mystery Sticky Wilds this can rack up some nice winnings for you.
There is no progressive jackpot to be found on Golden Grimoire slot, and since this is a game with low to medium volatility you cannot expect the highest potential here. The max win is “only” 200x your stake, which amounts to 40,000 coins if you play with maximum stakes.
Golden Grimoire can be played at any mobile and tablet via the NetEnt Touch platform, and it looks great on all devices. Pick up your iPhone, iPad or Android device, and you’ll be sure to have a great time with this game wherever you may be.
We are a bit surprised that NetEnt would make this low to medium variance slot with such low potential. It’s a pretty good game in all the other departments, but a max win of only 200 times your stake just seems unnecessary low. Anyway, if you don’t care too much about win potential you will probably have a great time playing Golden Grimoire, not least if you’re into Harry Potter and the whole magic thing.
