Being a pokie developer isn’t the easiest thing on Earth as it takes lots of effort to pull something creative out of such overused themes like Christmas. Yet it seems that Play’n Go actually succeeded in it because this kind of Santa you haven’t seen before. Be ready to meet Naughty Nick in the company of his restless friends Rude-Olf, Rupert the Rascal and Eric Elf. Judging just by the names of characters you can already notice that this isn’t going to be your typical Christmas pokie.
The theme is hands down unique, but what about the features? As a matter of fact, they are kind of copycat which actually was expected considering we got the word “book” in this pokie’s title. We have a free spins bonus with a special expanding symbol which is chosen at the beginning of the round. This is a common feature for all games with a book in their name. What’s more, Play’n Go already has a game like that. It’s called Book of Dead and so far it’s the most successful clone of Novomatic’s Book of Ra which, in its turn, actually started all this “book” trend. So, does it mean that Play’n Go hasn’t prepared anything new for us at Christmas? Not really. There is a sixth reel which can be unlocked by triggering 8 free spins with the help of books.
Should you play Naughty Nick’s Book? If you would like to see the classic “book” feature wearing a Christmas outfit and at the same time enjoy a really fun take on the overused theme, then the answer is 100% yes. Moreover, this version of “book” pokie is more lucrative than Play’n Go’s most popular interpretation of this theme called Book of Dead. As a result, players who will join Naughty Nick’s company will have a chance to hit x7 500 their bet opposite to fans of more casual Book of Dead who can opt for x5 000 at best. Which isn’t surprising at all considering the fact that Naughty Nick’s Book is all about Christmas.
