Aurum Signature Studios have teamed up with Microgaming for the 2021 slot release Book of Mrs Claus. Inspired this time by Santa’s wife rather than the big man himself, the slot utilises the Hyper Spins mechanic, expanding wilds, scatters and free spins.
Slot details

It’s highly volatile with an RTP of 96.50% and bets ranging between 10p up to £125 per spin.This time the focus is on Mrs Claus, who not only looks after the reindeer, but she also bakes cookies and prepares the toys. The superbly designed graphics add plenty of festive atmosphere, with a house lit up with bright lights, snow laden fir trees all against a backdrop of a starry night sky.The reels are covered in snow and festively decorated symbols include low value 10-Ace royals, a reindeer, an owl and a fox wrapped up with a scarf, and Mrs Claus, who is worth x500 for 5 on a payline. The Mrs Claus book represents both the scatter and wild.
Gameplay
The Mrs Claus book symbol can act as a wild to form part of a winning combination.Landing 3, 4 or 5 of the book scatters in view on a single spin awards 2x, 20x or 200x along with 10, 12 or 25 free spins respectively. Before you begin the free spins, a special symbol is chosen at random and if it lands, it expands to fill the whole reel.If one of the lower value symbols is selected you need to land 3 before the reel expands, but if it is one of the higher value symbols you only need 2 to expand the reel. It is possible have multiple reels expanded, paying across all active paylines. This feature can be re-triggered.The Hyper Spin feature is available at an extra cost which is shown beneath each reel, the higher the potential the higher the cost.
Verdict
Book of Mrs Claus is a refreshing change from the typical book slots and to see one featuring Mrs Claus is unique in its’ own way. If you like Christmas themed slots then this one is sure to get you into the festive spirit.
