Book of Helios Slots
The Book of Helios is a terrific online video slot game with a fantasy theme inspired by Greek mythology and crafted by renowned gaming developers BetSoft and released in June of 2022.
This thrilling game is full of big wins and is a great addition to BetSoft´s catalogue offering a classical take on the ´Book of´formula with random expanding symbols in the powerful free spins feature with generous multipliers and a scorching hot win potential of 20,168x players bet. In addition, this is a super simple game to grasp and understand even for the most novice of punters.
Book of Helios provides a classical gaming grid of 5 reels with 3 rows and 10 fixed paylines in order to make wins. Winning combinations are made with a minimum of two and up to five identical matching symbols on a payline which pays out from the leftmost reel to the right.
The genre provides excitement from the start creating an engaging theme as we see the main character Olivia Brave attempt to enter the temple dedicated to the Greek God of the Sun, Helios. The background music is dramatic and epic complementing the mythological elements well. The animations are flawless particularly in the Free Spins with two magnificent horses on either side of the reels.
The game starts once bets have been made and these start as players can choose stakes starting from a minimum of $0.10 per spin and up to a maximum of $20.00 for the maximum per spin. This limited betting range is disappointing to high rollers but very accessible for those with a limited bankroll.
A useful and convenient Autoplay button allows for punters to pre select a set number of automated spins to game with for continuous play. This can be a handy tool for those managing a budget and equally for those who dislike manual gameplay.
The RTP (Return to Player Percentage) is slightly below average at 95.58% and this game plays with high volatility which will not suit all players. Payouts can be generous and substantial particularly when leveraging the bonus features but they do not fall frequently so more novice punters will find this a challenge and will need to play with some caution and prudence.
A rich assortment of gaming symbols ensures that each spin can bring exciting wins and an engaging experience. The Book symbol acts both as the Wild and Scatter symbol and is the most important symbol in the game as it substitutes for other symbols to complete wins and also triggering the Free Spins Feature.

The whips, crossbows, Olivia the female adventurer and Helios himself are the most lucrative paying symbols offering between 0.50x and 15x the bet and with Helios bringing in the top prize of a 20x payout for five of a kind combination.
The Free Spins feature is triggered by landing three Book scatter symbols which offer 10 free spins with a randomly selected expanding symbol for the duration of the feature. During these free games the chosen symbol can expand vertically to cover entire reels paying even when not in an adjacent position.
Book symbols landing during the Free Spins reveals a win multiplier of 1x, 2x, 3× 4x and up to 5x which boosts wins tremendously. They will also substitute for the special expanding symbol too and the multipliers of the book symbols will multiply with each other when they are involved in the same win.
