The Library Slot Review

The Library Slot Overview

The Library is a casino slot from Kitsune Studios that mixes classic literature authors with the world of casino gaming. Here, you will be met by renowned authors like Edgar Allan Poe, Lewis Carroll, Beatrix Potter, and Dante Alighieri as they have been twisted by the mysterious powers of The Library, taken on the appearance of their famous characters. In the long, twisting hallways, you’ll be able to find the Stackways symbols on the reels, which will help you form longer and bigger paylines so you can reach the max win of 10,000X the bet. We’ve seen this feature present before in Ronin Stackways and Mayan Stackways, released by Hacksaw Gaming.

The Library is a video slot from Kitsune Studios with 5 reels, 4  rows, and up to 100,000 ways to win, where the ways to win can go up to 3,200,000 during the bonus game. Players can choose between making a Min.bet of 0.1 and a Max.bet of 100. The game sits at a higher-than-average RTP of 96.38% by default, but keep note of another version with a lower RTP of 94.48%. The Library is played with high volatility and a max win of 10,000X.

Explore the mysteries of The Library and its volatile Stackways Symbols that can lead to your next big win. The features in The Library are Stackways Symbols, Stack The Shelves Free Spins, and Feature Buy.

The Library Slot Information

The game is set in the mysterious Library, a technologically advanced building with halls clad in metal pillars that look like they came out of a sci-fi movie. As you spin, a magical and calming soundtrack plays in the background, aiming to lure you in. The game can be played on most notepads, mobiles, and desktops. Wins are created by landing 3 or more of the same symbols in adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel. 

The lower-paying symbols are 10, J, Q, K, and A. Creating a win with 5 of the same symbols pays out 0.5X to 0.6X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are Lewis Carrol, Dante Alighieri, Edgar Allan Poe, and Beatrix Potter. Landing a win with 5 of the same symbols will pay out 1.5X to 3X the bet. You will also be able to find Stackways Symbols to help you form bigger wins and Scatter Symbols to activate the bonus games, but more on that in the next section.

What features are available in the slot The Library?

The features are Stackways Symbols, Stack The Shelves Free Spins, and Feature Buy.

Stackways Symbols

On the reels you will be able to find Stackways symbols with a displayed value between 2 and 10, with the number representing the number of paying symbols it will be. There are two types of Stackway symbols, the first being Normal Stackways, which can display 2, 3, or 4, and the Revealing Stackways, which can display 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10. The Stackways Symbols will reveal the symbol type that it can contribute to the longest possible win, and if two symbols can provide the same amount of win, the choice of symbol will be random.

Stack The Shelves Free Spins

There are two types of Stack The Shelves Free Spins that you can be awarded by landing 3 or 4 Scatter Symbols, that being the standard version and the Super version. When you trigger the feature, you will be awarded 10 spins and a randomly selected symbol that will act as if it was Stacked and pay as if it lands on 3 or more reels simultaneously.

Stack The Shelves = 10 Free Spins + 1 Randomly Selected Symbol to become Special.

Super Stacked The Shelves = 10 Free Spins + 2 Randomly Selected Symbols to become Special.

The standard bonus game can also be upgraded to the Super version by retriggering the feature with 4 Scatters during the bonus game.

Feature Buy

You are given 3 Feature Buy options you can use in the base game with prices based on the current bet, and these are as follows: 

3X = BonusHunt FeatureSpins; each spin is 5 times more likely to trigger a Bonus Game.

50X = Stackways FeatureSpins; each spin guarantees a minimum of 2 Stackways symbols land.

150X = Awards the Stack The Shelves Spins with 10 initial spins of either the standard or super version of the bonus game.

The Library Slot Conclusion

The Library is the first game released from Kitsune Studios, and the studio works closely with Hacksaw Gaming, utilizing their OpenGRS platform and previously mentioned Stackways feature. For being a studio’s debut game, it works quite nicely as a first step into the industry, coming with a quite unique theme sporting real-life classic authors and a mystical setting. While it doesn’t really blow our socks off, its calming vibes and soundtrack fit nicely together for some relaxing spins. 

Moving on to the gameplay, we have a nice mix of stats, with a max win of 10,000X and 3,200,000 ways to win, thanks to the game's Stackways feature. The game does initially seem a bit confusing with the Free Spins bonus game and Stackways symbols, but after seeing it firsthand when working in tandem with each other and the big wins forming, you can quickly put together the pieces. While these features are a bit unique, they are pretty simple and can, at times, feel a bit uninspiring, and we have seen them before in other Hacksaw Gaming releases. This isn’t a fully bad thing, as we did really enjoy seeing these features in the original games, but those also sported more fun bonuses and themes that made them stand out more. So, if you are looking for a new up-and-coming studio or a game that comes with an old favorite feature, then you should definitely give this game a try. 

The Library is a slot with a slow and calming theme, sporting volatile bonuses and stacked symbols.
