Book of Fairytale Beauties

Book of Fairytale Beauties Overview

Book of Fairytale Beauties is a “book of” slot from Spinomenal, released on 13 August 2023. Unlike most games of the type it uses a 6x3 grid – six reels instead of five – with 10 fixed paylines. SlotCatalog lists a 96.01% RTP (the game comes in several RTP versions), and stakes run from 0.10 to 100. Spinomenal has not published a volatility rating or a maximum win for this title.

The Beauties on the Reels

The premium symbols are fairy-tale heroines painted in a soft, realistic style: Little Red Riding Hood in her crimson cape, Snow White with her apple, Alice with a green potion, and a red-haired heroine. The low symbols are the card ranks 10, J, Q, K and A in gold, blue and green. The golden book is the special symbol.

How the Lines Pay

We played most of the session at 10 per line, a total bet of 100. The win messages show how the six reels change the arithmetic:

• Three Alice symbols paid 400 – 4x the total bet.
• A line of J across five reels paid 1,000 – 10x the total bet, or 100 times the line bet.
• A line of A, completed by two books on the middle reels, paid 1,500 per line on its own and 1,900 in total – a Mega Win of 19x.

The last example is the key to the game: with six reels, a card symbol can land six in a row, and the book fills gaps as a wild, so even the low symbols can pay a double-digit multiple of the stake.

The Book: Wild and Scatter

As in every “book of” slot, the golden book does two jobs. It substitutes for the other symbols on the lines, as in the 1,900 Mega Win, and it is the scatter that opens the free spins.

Free Spins With a Changing Expanding Symbol

The bonus opens with the message “Congratulations! You have won 10 free spins”. The twist is explained on the same screen: “On each individual spin, a randomly assigned symbol will act as the expanding symbol for that spin only.” Most book slots pick one expanding symbol for the whole round; here it changes every spin, and the current symbol is shown in the small window at the top right.

Our Free Spins

Our round ran at a total bet of 50. With Little Red Riding Hood as the expanding symbol, she filled two reels and paid 250 with nine free spins still to go. Later in the round, with one free spin left on the counter, she expanded again, this time on the first two reels; that spin added 275 and brought the round's win counter to 600 – 12x the stake.

Buy Feature

A Buy button sits next to the spin button, and SlotCatalog lists a buy feature for the game, so the free spins can be purchased directly. The price did not appear in our screenshots.

Six Reels, Ten Lines

The unusual grid matters in two ways. First, there is one more reel for a line to extend onto, which raises the ceiling for every symbol. Second, an expanding symbol in free spins has six reels to cover, so a full-screen expansion of a premium beauty is worth more than in a five-reel book game.

Reading the Wins as Line Multiples

Because the line bet is fixed at a tenth of the total bet, the base-game wins convert neatly. At 10 per line, the five Js worth 1,000 were 100x the line bet, and the A line with two books worth 1,500 was 150x the line bet – from a low card symbol. In free spins at 50 total, the 250 and 275 spins from Red Riding Hood were each around 50x the line bet, which shows what two expanded reels of a premium heroine can do even without filling the screen.

The Base Game Rhythm

Across our session the base game paid in clear steps: a few hundred for three premium symbols, around a thousand for a long card-symbol line, and a Mega Win when the books joined a line on the middle reels. There are no cascades, respins or random modifiers in the base game – it is a classic book slot with a wider grid, and the balance moves mainly on line hits and on the free spins.

The Fairytale Beauties Family

This game belongs to a Spinomenal series. SlotCatalog lists the original Fairytale Beauties, Fairytale Beauties 2: Enchanted Hearts, Fairytale Beauties: Daydream Fantasy and the follow-up Book of Fairytale Beauties 2. The heroines return across the series, while each game puts its own mechanic on top – here, the rotating expanding symbol of the book format.

Graphics and Setting

The reels sit in a golden frame wrapped in vines and daisies, in front of a misty village at night. Big wins are celebrated with a golden crown and a shower of coins, and the interface shows the line bet, the total bet and the balance at the bottom.

Who It Is For

Book of Fairytale Beauties is for players who know the book formula and want a variation on it. The six reels make ordinary line wins bigger, and the changing expanding symbol gives every free spin a fresh chance. A sequel, Book of Fairytale Beauties 2, is available at the same casinos.
