In Lord Wilfred's old mansion something strange was going on. Nobody dared to go near it, but that was not the case for Frank and his friends who were passionate about magic and the occult. They had decided to go and visit him that weekend because all the parents had opted to go out and party and they would be alone.
When all the parents had left, the friends all gathered at Frank's house to head for the manor. To get into Lord Wilfred's estate, they have to disable a lock, but they've got it all worked out, and it only takes them a moment. But everything is gloomy and strange, yet there is a glimmer of light from outside in one of the rooms of the old house.
Kati, the only girl in the group, the bravest of the bunch, and it must be said that it didn't look very inviting, went ahead to open the path between the bushes. It was only a few steps away and suddenly an owl started hooting. Everyone was startled! Come on, they've arrived!
Kati pushed the door open with a loud creak. They had provided lanterns and candles like in Golden Grimoire™. Everything is dusty and dark, but they hear xylophone sounds that form a familiar music to their ears: why not follow it?
They climb the stairs which creaked under their feet and made the tension rise. They were not afraid, only apprehensive about not knowing what they would find. A blue glow passed under the crack of the door, the moment to open it had arrived... At that moment Franck sneezed! They almost all died on the spot!
Come on, a little courage, but suddenly the door opens by itself and discover the secret inside. A beautiful grimoire with a question mark on top (the Golden Grimoire™ one) was flying all by itself in that room amidst skulls and magic potions.
The door closed suddenly behind them, they startled, it's normal and they saw an old man appear with a pointed hat, my god, but it was indeed Lord Wilfred, no it's impossible he would be more than 500 years old! But yes, it was him! And he knew everyone's name! But he reassures them, there is no need to be afraid of him. He only does white magic, he repels and fights against evil.
He asks our friends if they want to fight with him, only they will have to come more often because they have a lot to learn! They remain motionless, they don't believe it, but they were happy to be able to be part of this closed circle. The only problem was that they couldn't tell anyone about it!
The Mystery Symbol feature appears on reels 3,4 and 5 in the main game when one or more symbols land a random symbol (medium or low) will be chosen from the Wild and all Mystery Symbols will turn into that symbol, but it cannot turn into a scatter.
If the Mystery Symbol matches the leftmost one in the same row, then all symbols will be changed into the same transformed symbol. This behaviour occurs separately for each instance where the Mystery Symbol appears.
If the Mystery Symbol turns into a Wild, then all symbols between the Mystery Symbol and the leftmost symbol in that row will turn into a Wild regardless of the symbol on the first reel. The payout in the round is only calculated after the symbols have been changed and will be added to the total win amount.
When 3 scatter symbols appear on reels 1, 3 and 5 respectively in the main game, it will activate 8 free spins. During the feature, the Mystery Symbol will be replaced by the Sticky Mystery symbol which appears on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5.
It plays the same role as the Mystery Symbol in the main Golden Grimoire™ game, but when the Sticky Mystery Symbol lands on a reel, it will remain in place until the free spins feature ends. The Sticky Mystery symbols turn into different symbols on each spin, selected by the Wild, medium or low but not the scatter symbol.
No additional free spins can be won during this feature. The winnings will be evaluated when the transformation of the symbols is completed and will be added to the total win. During the free spins the total winnings from the feature will be added to the winnings that have activated it.
The Wild symbol can appear only as a result of a Mystery Symbol transformation and it can substitute for all symbols except the scatter. If the Mystery Symbol turns into a Wild then all symbols between the Mystery Symbol and the leftmost symbol in that row will turn into a Wild regardless of the symbol on the first reel.
The latest game from NetEnt provider, Golden Grimoire™ was well overdue. Expectation was at an all time high, with a large dose of mystery to see what the team had cooked up for us. A 5 reels, 4 rows, 20 paylines slot with a witchcraft, alchemy theme but no characters just symbols that transform. If you like slots with this atmosphere, NetEnt offers you Gods of Gold Infinireels (2022), Finn's Golden Tavern (2019) and/or Mythic Maiden (2011).
The graphics are not bad but I expected something else. As an accompaniment we have the music that we can recognize from Harry Potter but no impactful images or twists, only the transformation of symbols which is not great. Also, the RTP of Golden Grimoire™ is 96.44% but the volatility is rather average or low, for the Mystery Symbol feature we don't expect too much but as far as free spins are concerned they are long overdue and that I don't think players like.
The betting values range from €0.01 to €2, there are 40 betting lines and 20 coins per line which makes a total bet of €0.01 to €400 per spin, which meets the budget of a wide range of players
On the other hand, it lacks features, a jackpot, winnings multipliers, in short, so much expectation to find ourselves in front of a game that, if not to satisfy magic fans, is not going to be a big hit. In the end I am quite disappointed with the title of Golden Grimoire™. Lately, the internet casino games that are coming out are packed with features, or beautiful graphics or directly you can do anything like in Max Quest: Wrath of Ra™ from Betsoft Gaming, a really complete game. The NetEnt team will have to move a little to find better ideas if the software has the wish to stay at the top of the ranking!
