Expanding reels and symbols, plus a high-stakes gamble, cast a new spell in the latest DEGEN release

DEGEN Studios is tearing up the spellbook with Book of Dizzy, a shape-shifting slot where nothing on the reels is quite set in stone and 10,000x is waiting to be conjured up.

Book of Dizzy opens on a 5×3 grid with 10 paylines, but Dizzy has other ideas. The reels can randomly expand to 5×4 or all the way to 5×5, increasing the number of paylines as they grow. A random symbol can also become an Expanding Symbol, covering entire reels when the feature activates and still paying even when non-expanded reels break up the sequence. Expanding Reels and Expanding Symbols can also land their magic on the same spin, changing both the size of the grid and the symbols within it.

Things get stranger once Free Spins enter the equation. Three Wild Scatters reveals Open The Book, keeping one Expanding Symbol active throughout the bonus. Four unlock Turn The Page, where the reels grow to 5×4 and one symbol disappears from the setup. Land five and Master Spellbook takes over, opening the full 5×5 grid and adding the highest-paying premium symbol as another Expanding Symbol.

And before the first Free Spin is even cast, players can gamble on making the spell stronger. The Pre-Bonus Gamble can increase reel height, make low-paying symbols vanish or upgrade the Expanding Symbol. Each enhancement can be gambled separately, but one failed attempt breaks the spell and forfeits the bonus.

Danny Gordon, Head of Studio at DEGEN Studios, said: “Book of Dizzy is designed to keep messing with the reels. One spin can make the grid bigger, another can turn whole reels into the same symbol, and sometimes Dizzy throws both at you at once.

“The Pre-Bonus Gamble is where players get to play sorcerer themselves. They can make the reels bigger, clear out weaker symbols or cast a stronger Expanding Symbol into play, but every extra spell comes with the risk of losing the lot.

“By the time Master Spellbook opens, the game has pretty much torn up its own rulebook. Bigger reels, more Expanding Symbols and fewer symbols getting in the way make it feel like Dizzy has finally let all the magic loose.”
