Theme: a classy trip to Transylvania

The Van Helsing’s Book of the Undead slot is based on the fictional Professor Abraham Van Helsing character from the Dracula novel. A game based on a famous vampire hunter was never likely to feature fluffy animals and rainbows and the design here is as dark and creepy as you’d expect.

Each spin comes with a chunky thud and a whistling breeze. Like the visuals, it’s just creepy enough to create some atmosphere without being ridiculous. Overall, the design comes together nicely.

With a Transylvanian town and Dracula’s castle in the background, the dark reels feature metallic A to 10 royal symbols. You will also see a crossbow, vials of holy water and a female vampire. The most rewarding symbol is Van Helsing. He pays 1, 10, 100 or 500 x your stake if you manage to land 2, 3, 4 or 5 on a payline.

This horror adventure is available to play on all devices including desktop computer, tablet and mobile. The sharp design is evident in all versions. The simple, no frills gameplay is well suited to play on a small screen too. The Van Helsing’s Book of the Undead mobile slot is a perfectly playable one.

Van Helsing’s Book of the Undead Bonus Features

This slot is part of 1×2 Gaming’s Classic series and that evident from the features here which will be familiar to most player. The only extra is the Free Spins feature which comes with an expanding symbol. Let’s take a closer look.

Free Spins feature

The Book of Undead is the game’s scatter symbol (as well as the wild). Land 3, 4 or 5 of these on the same spin and you’ll first pocket an award equal to 2, 20 or 200 x your total stake. You’ll also trigger the Free Spins feature.

Your reward here is 10 free spins. Before the round starts, 1 symbol is randomly picked to be the special expanding symbol for the duration of the free spins. Each time this symbol lands, the expanding symbol fills the whole of the reel. This only applies if that expansion create a winning combination.

The expanding symbol can land on multiple reels on the same free spin which can lead to some potentially large clusters. That’s certainly the case if the expanding symbol is 1 of the higher value character symbols.

Here’s the max win depending on the special expanding symbol you play with:

• Van Helsing: up to 5,000 x stake per free spin
• Female Vampire: up to 2,000 x stake per free spin
• Vials of Holy Water: up to 750 x stake per free spin
• Crossbow: up to 750 x stake per free spin

Retriggers are possible here too. Landing 3 or more Book of Undead symbols adds another 10 free spins to your total. There are no limits on how many free spins you can play with. The same expanding symbol will be active for the extra free spins.

Van Helsing’s Book of the Undead Review Summary: vampire themed ‘Book of’ slot

1×2 Gaming has kept things simple and straightforward as far as gameplay is concerned in the Van Helsing’s Book of the Undead slot. It’s basically a classic ‘Book of’ slot with a vampire theme.

The Free Spins feature that combines free spins with an expanding symbol is one that we’ve seen in plenty of other online slots: like the Book of Dead slot by Play ‘n GO.

It might not be massively original. However, the free spins can work well if you’re lucky enough to get a high value symbol as the expander.

It won’t be winning any awards for innovation and originality but if you enjoy the vampire theme or ‘Book of’ type slots, the simple Van Helsing’s Book of the Undead is worth considering.
