Verdict & Conclusion
The graphics possesses high quality and the game phase feels smooth, especially if you turn on fast speed. The re-spins can be somewhat repetetive in the long run, the fact that the Free Spins can be triggered unlimited number of times is amazing and takes the level of excitment during free spins to another level.
Despite the possibility to win an infinite amount of Free Spins and captivating graphics, this online slot doesn’t impress as much as the Book of dead slot or The Rich Wilde and the Tome of Madness online slot.
It’s a rather easy going and fun allround game that fits most players.
