The big draw of the original hit Book of Charms, its two exciting bonus features, was shortlisted for the prestigious CasinoBeats Game Developer Awards Game Mechanic of the Year, and it too returns in this Christmas edition.

The first is triggered by landing three or more Yellow Orb scatters, which awards 15 free spins with a 3x multiplier in play. The second offers an expanding symbol mechanic across up to 10 free spins.

Unwrapping even more fun, each bonus round can be triggered while playing through the other, offering exciting and rewarding gameplay. Plus, the bonus symbol of the yellow orb feature can become the expanding symbol in the book bonus potentially awarding up to 165 free spins.

Featuring festive visuals and exciting bonus mechanics whilst building upon an existing fan favourite title, Book of Charms Christmas Edition adds to the runaway success of its predecessor and exemplifies the holiday spirit. It follows other recent notable Realistic Games hits including Book of Midas, Destination Atlantis and Shinobi Moon.

Alice Timson, Head of Commercial at Realistic Games, said: Book of Charms Christmas Edition is a sumptuous seasonal slot which offers multifaceted, compelling gameplay that can be enjoyed all year round.
