Naughty Nicks Book

It's time to pay Saint Nick a visit in this slot; however, he isn't the jolly old fellow that many people would believe. This is made evident as soon as the online slot machine loads up, as Naughty Nick himself can be seen clinging to piles of notes. In addition to this, his elves are up to no good as well, as they pour bottles of champagne for everyone in the room. Speaking of the room, the setting for the Naughty Nicks Book slot is rather typical of festive online slots, with Christmas trees and lighting being seen around the board. 

Play'n Go are the creators of this slot, with this game having a similar interface to some of their other titles. In the past, they have released many highly-rated slot titles, which include the likes of Rise Of Olympus 100, Bull In A Rodeo, and Coils Of Cash. Naughty Nicks Book isn't the only book-themed slot that Play'n Go has created, either, with Scroll Of Dead being popular amongst players. 

When taking a look at the symbols in Naughty Nick, the standard 10, J, Q, K, and A icons can all be found. However, they do include festive touch on snow. For the premium symbols, there is an elf, someone with a present, a reindeer, and Naughty Nick himself. In the same order, these can award players with 100x, 100x, 300x, or 750x their stake size, should six form a matching combination. Keep in mind, however, that the sixth reel will only open during the bonus mode, which is covered in detail below.

The wild and scatter symbols are both the same in this slot, shown as a golden book. Like in most online slots, the wild symbol can replace any of the standard or premium symbols to form a matching combination. On its own, this can award 750x the stake size, should six books fall along a payline. 

For punters that have played almost any book-related slot in the past, this bonus round will likely be familiar. Landing 3 of the aforementioned scatter symbols will open the 6th reel, which is shown as a wrapped present during the base game. Players will start this round with a total of 8 free spins, with the book revealing a symbol that can fully expand for the duration of the bonus.

Interestingly, the chosen symbol doesn't have to obey any of the paylines. Should it fall across three or more different reels, the symbol will fully expand, and players will be awarded the corresponding potential winnings. 

There is also a gamble mechanic added to Naughty Nicks Book, which only becomes active after a matching combination is formed in the base game. Players can choose to predict the colour or suit of a playing card. This can be done up to 5 times if the player wishes. Of course, there is also a 'collect' button, which will allow any potential winnings to be awarded straight away.

Naughty Nicks Book, as the name suggests, seamlessly combines two classic slot themes into one immersive experience. The game itself is visually appealing, with Santa also being shown in a different light when compared to similar alternatives.
