Book of Helios Slot Review

I’ve spoken about the Greek sun god before, so no history lesson for you guys today. Instead, I’m going to tell you a story about sunburns. But this is a tale of friendships, too – more specifically: choose your friends with care.

You see, British dude Mike Fosse was enjoying a sun-filled drinking session at home with his mates – that is, until he passed out.

His pals wrote “I touch kids” on his chest with sunscreen which left stark, white lettering contrasted against the lobster-red hue he had going on elsewhere.

Mike was unceremoniously kicked out of his local pool (for obvious reasons) when he showed up with his new Ambre Solaire tattoo. He has since vowed to seek revenge on his mates.

This is Book of Helios slot from Betsoft Gaming.

Gameplay

Alrighty, we’ve got ourselves a rather different-looking game for once. While the background is something we don’t see often (it looks like a subterranean vault with 2 stone horses flanking the grid), the 5x3-reel grid is as traditional as they come. But it makes for large symbols and that means the game translates well to mobile devices.

I have to say that this 10-payline game looks wonderful on a phone – particularly in portrait mode. Not only is the grid visible from space, but the controls are well laid out and easy to use. Just as we expect from a BetSoft game.

Unfortunately, the RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. is sub-par, at 95.58%, but that’s balanced out by the whopping max win of €363,024. I’m sure you’ll be as unsurprised as me to find out that this game comes bundled with a high volatility rate.

The last thing I need to mention is that the Japanese yen isn’t accepted, but all other forms of fiat and cryptocurrency are allowed.

Features

The book with the sun symbol on it is the Scatter symbol and it appears on reels 2, 3, and 4. But this Scatter is also a Wild which replaces all other symbols.

FREE SPINS:

Three landed Scatter Wilds award 10 Free Spins. Before the festivities kick off though, 1 random symbol will be chosen to act as a Special Expanding symbol.

After a regular win payout:

• If there are Special Expanding symbols on 2 or more reels, and these can form a win, then each of those symbols will expand vertically and cover the whole reel
• If any Scatter Wilds are showing on the reels, they’ll also expand vertically and reveal a multiplier with a value ranging from 1x to 5x.
• Scatter Wilds also replace Special Expanding symbols

Free Spins can’t be re-triggered, though.

BUY FEATURE:

Forget waiting around for the stars to align. With this feature you can get 10 Free Spins in the blink of an eye, for the price of 65.5x your bet. That’s quite the bargain if you ask me.

Performance

Helios raced his chariot across the skies a gazillion times while I was testing this bad boy, and the results were consistently the same – no problems. It didn’t make a difference if I was playing on a laptop, phone, or even across different browsers.

Maximum Win

Our friend Helios seems well-heeled, as the max win he’s offering in this game is a staggering €363,024. The bet limits aren’t exactly what I’d call generous, though: they start at €0.10 but tap out at €18. So clearly, the magic comes from the multiplier, which sits at a hefty 20,168x.

Conclusion

It’s a bit of a mixed bag, this one. The RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. isn’t great, but the max win is. The game looks sweet on a phone, but the action is a bit meh, because there are no features other than Free Spins.

I’d call this a middle-of-the-road slot but that doesn’t mean it sucks. Most games are average, if we’re being honest, so just because it’s not bristling with features doesn’t mean it’s not worth a go.
