Wild Tome of the Woods Slot Review

Released in September 2019, this game can be played at online casinos such as Casumo, Vera&John or Guts.

Theme and basic information

Wild Tome of the Woods takes us to Whittlewood Forest, which is actually located in Northamptonshire. Don’t expect to find the wizard Tom in the real-life forest, however. He is only at home in the fictional version in this Quickspin slot. And we don’t even get to see him.

But according to the makers of this game, he is set on turning everything into gold, causing all kinds of havoc. His animal friends, Eleanor the owl, Sylvester the 3rd, a fox, and frog Crikey all try to live here peacefully and help Tom take care of things.

The look of the slot is beautiful, and the characters are utterly charming. The theme is lovely and of the high quality we know and love from Quickspin.

The wild symbol is the most valuable symbol on the reels, paying 20x our bet for 6 of a kind. Eleanor the owl still pays out 16x our stake for such a win. Sylvester is worth 10x our stake and Crikey still pays out 5x our stake for 6 on a payline. We also get three potion vials on the reels.

With 6 symbols in total, wins tend to be frequent, but they are often small since the payouts are not massive.

You can play this game from 0.10 per spin to 100.00 per spin.

Wild Tome Transformations

Wild Tome of the Woods has only one feature. The red book, which is the wizard’s spell book, lands randomly anywhere on the reels and when it does, it will open up and show us one of the 6 reel symbols, which it then proceeds to transform into a wild.

Once all instances of that symbol are transformed to wilds, any wins are paid out and the game continues. There are no re-spins, other bonuses, multipliers or free spins.

Since we only get 6 symbols and symbols usually land stacked on the reels, you will often get a bunch of added wilds to the reels. Without them, wins are really quite small, though.

Conclusion: A beautiful slot that is not captivating for very long

The theoretical RTP (Return to Player) of Wild Tome of the Woods is 96.28%, which is above average and quite decent. The slot is definitely beautifully done and quite charming. That it has only one feature is probably going to irritate those looking for more action.

For a while, the game can be fun to play. The wild transformations are nicely done and can result in impressive wins. We managed to get 118x our stake in one win, though the maximum payout is 1,000x your stake. But eventually, the novelty of the slot will fade, and seasoned players will look elsewhere for either more action or the next new thing. Or both. Wild Tome of the Woods simply doesn’t offer enough to captivate for long. But it is worth trying out for a few spins here and there.
