Golden Grimoire pokie

Golden Grimoire pokie
NetEnt company has a large selection of different pokies, which are endowed with interesting plots and functionality. Nevertheless, this provider tries to surprise a lot of punters and creates new games with innovative features. So, we offer you to be immersed in a magic world where you will read a magic book with ancient spells. If you want to do it, you will need to trigger Golden Grimoire pokie. This ancient book keeps a lot of spells and secrets which will allow you to get even more coins, bonuses and a lot of winnings.

So, the pokie has 5 reels, 4 rows of symbols and pay combinations that are given out by 20 lines. There are also a number of bonus symbols – wild, Mystery and scatter. You can get your additional payments in free spins, where the Mystery symbol appears much more often than in the usual spins. Honestly, this machine is exciting with stunning graphics, impressive animation effects and a great selection of original features. The theoretical RTP (return to player percentage) is set at 96.44%. Moreover, there is also low volatility during this game process.

Review and recommendations by our testing team

  • Golden Grimoire pokie from NetEnt provider made me feel like a pokie combining the graphics from Phantom of The Opera and a partly gameplay from Wolf Cub pokie. This pokie has its own features, which include a fairly nice graphics part, simple and clear gameplay, the possibility of getting a big win not only during free spins, but also in the usual spins, as well as the high potential for getting an expensive combination, but a low maximum winning, only 200x total bets.
  • In the usual spins, the pokie does not often give out payment combinations without the participation of the bonus feature, but quite often it gives out a bonus feature, which, in this case, does not always give out a win (even the minimum). Because of this, the pokie makes the feeling that doesn’t keep the balance well, which in my opinion, is not the truth. In long-distance, payment combinations with the help of the bonus feature are compensating for the losses and I believe the pokie is good for keeping the balance.
  • The bonus feature is reduced to giving a random symbol (book symbol), and if it coincides with the symbol in the first reel, it copies it from right to left. Accordingly, as in many reels, the random symbol is located, the more expensive the combination will be. Random symbols are triggered quite often, almost every few spins, but their coincidence with the first reel is not so frequent. At the same time, the pokie often gives "coincidences" in series and, accordingly, you can get quite a large total winning. The average value ranges from several bets to 30x – 40x bets, and the maximum win per spin was 120x.
  • The gameplay in the free spins feature has no big differences from the usual spins except that random symbol that remains for all free spins. The number of spins is 8, and the function cannot be re-triggered. The potential for getting a big win here is exactly the same as in the main game. So, during testing, the minimum win was 4x bets, and the maximum was 160x, while the average was about 30x – 60x total bets.

This pokie is quite suitable for playing with bonus money. While playing for real money, I would recommend only short distances before receiving a series of average wins. I think that long sessions are not good due to the low cost of the top combination and, accordingly, the lack of potential for getting a large win (x500+ bets).

Alternative tester’s opinion

Golden Grimoire pokie is another new product from the global pokies provider, Netent. In my opinion, they decided this time not to complicate the pokie with bonus features, there are three of them and they are pretty simple. The pokie has volatility from low to average, but apparently closer to the average. Playing on high bets, the pokie gave almost nothing, but when playing at small or medium bets, the machine started at least some activity, and the winnings appeared more often and bonus features were triggered more often. In general, the pokie is quite interesting, but I advise you to follow my recommendations about the size of the bet in the game.

True, I did find a couple of minutes in the pokie rules (for Netent, this doesn’t look like it at all) and “misunderstandings” with the stated maximum win of 320 000 coins. The biggest prize here is 200x total bets (full screen of the top symbol “red ruby with a spider”), i.e. even playing max coins at 200 coins, the payout will be 40 000 coins. I dare to suggest that the figure of 320 000 is the maximum winning multiplied by 8 bonus free spins: 40 000 coins x 8 free spins = 320 000 coins. Then the question is, if the pokie can display the full screen of the most expensive symbol 8 times in a row, then why is the option of dropping the same combination during the usual spins, where there are no restrictions on the number of spins, is excluded, it is strange a little. If someone can figure out how exactly the figure of 320 000 coins turned out, please, on this website below you can leave a comment and share your opinion on this matter.
