The great prophecy of the Middle Ages goes on, in the 2nd installment linking the Sorcerer theme with the same:
- Great design (as the original game);
- Beautiful colours and top-notch graphic quality;
- Attuned to the ancient mythology Celtic tune;
- Native to the legend symbols (along with Merlin image) like the Eternity Book, Holy Grail, Magic Potion and Enchanter’s pet/assisting owl.
This slot chapter gives a special role to the Crystal Ball – used in medieval times to bring light, wisdom, and ideas (to the Knights Round Table), in addition to summoning powers and enabling communication with other dimensions.
In the Book of Wizard Crystal Chance, the sphere gathers all ineffective Scatters to unlock a new Crystal FS feature finally.
Delving into the technical characteristics of the sequel, we see that again (like in the prototype – Book of Wizard Double Chance slot), there are many betting options, but they only go as high as 25 CAD.
Some paytable rates have been tweaked, but the topmost win number of 6000x the total bet remains. The Volatility is High, and the return – like with the 1st game – is theoretically 95.65% (RTP), i.e. below the applicable industry criteria.
However, the Taiwan and Ukraine-based Booongo Software producer didn’t stop there. Besides the wizard machine, they had revived other previous projects, piecing together elements from 2 more Multichance games: Book of Sun Multichance and Magic Ball Multichance.
All 4 games are supplied with the customary for one “Book of …” slots attributes:
- Playing field with 5×3 layout;
- 10 fixed paylines active in both: base and Bonus rounds;
- Identically standard features: the book is performing as a Wild and Scatter all together, plus re-trigger-able Bonus with expanding symbols.
So, receiving an additional icon to expand along with the 1 selected at the start (Multichance) is not a novelty for the Studio. But the new hotshot in the Crystal Chance is the second FS option, beginning with 3 (in 1 spin) stretching out and paying icons.
Check out our chart below and choose your favourite Booongo game in the “Book of …” line of slots.

Bonus Features of Book of Wizard: Crystal Chance slot
Symbols / Wild / Scatters
- 4 of the total of 9 regular paying symbols on the provision board pay even for 2OAK. The 2 standard symbols with the highest value are the Wizard himself and his Owl – valued as 500x and 160x respectively for 5OAK.
- As typical for all “Book of …” sister slots, the Book can also substitute (Wild) all symbols if there are gaps on the payline. As a result, the Wild Book delivers 1x/10x/100x/500x the bet for a combination of 2/3/4/5OAK.
- Familiarly the Book also operates as a Bonus trigger (Scatter) but has other values attached to it, which is 200x/20x/2x the bet for 5/4/3OAK respectively.
Regular Free Spins
- Landing 3/4/5 Books during 1 base spin will initiate the Bonus.
- It is composed of 8 free rounds.
- There is a high chance for a re-trigger within the Bonus via (extra 3+ Scatters).
- The FS starts with randomly nominating 1 of the 9 regular symbols (i.e. except the Book) to stretch to a full reel.
For every spin, the opening payment (if any) is calculated and paid, and after that the expanding starts.
- A) If a low-paying symbol (from the paytable) is picked to expand – you need a minimum of 3 such icons visible during 1 spin to activate the expanding feature.
- No need for these icons to be on neighbouring reels.
- Then, for example, 3 icons will make 3 full reels, which will pay 10 times (because 10 paylines) 3OAK of that icon.
- B) If a high-paying symbol (from the paytable) is picked to expand – you need just 2 such icons visible during 1 spin to activate the expanding feature.
- Then, for example, 2 icons will make 2 full reels, which will pay 10 times (because 10 paylines) 2OAK of that icon.
- No need for these icons to be on neighbouring reels.
- In the case of Bonus re-trigger, the Multichance feature (again like the slots from the series mentioned above) becomes active.
- With extra 8 FS, you will be granted an additional (random) icon to expand. In this unfolding:
1) First are collected the wins from the 1st expanding symbol. Then without new spinning:
2) The reels transform back to their initial status (original landing icons), and the wins from the 2nd expanding symbol will be collected (i.e. 1 spin yield 2 times expanding).
Crystal Free Spins – All unsuccessful 1and 2OAK Scatters (which neither pay nor activate the Bonus) are amassed during the base game into the glowing Magic Ball (left of the grid). The Crystal FS feature will be available only when the Ball is (virtually) full and 3+ Scatters have landed on the screen.
Now you are presented with the choice to play Regular FS or Crystal FS.
- Unlike the regular 8 FS, the Crystal feature offers only 4 rounds.
- After playing Crystal FS, the progress of the Ball will be zeroed.
- The Crystal Bonus starts not with 1 but immediately with 3 expanding symbols.
- These 3 symbols are also picked randomly.
- In case of Crystal FS being re-triggered (via 3+ Scatters within the Crystal Bonus), 8 extra FS are granted, and +1 symbol (i.e. 4 so far) is chosen to expand.
- The ultimate situation then includes 52 spins and all 9 Symbols expanding (check our table below).
Bonus Buy – With the tariff of 100x the current bet, impatient bettors can buy their way to the Regular FS on the next roll.
