CasualBalancedHardcore
Based on the 300SPINS™ test, Book of Claws: Lock&Choose may sit between casual and hardcore play styles, with elements of both.
In addition, wins exceeding the stake appeared relatively often in this test. This may suit players who value returns above their stake more than simply landing a hit.
About 300SPINS™
Every 300SPINS™ review starts with hands-on play: we manually play each slot, record the results and analyze the session data ourselves. Every test follows the same protocol: 300 paid spins in one continuous session, a fixed base bet, and no bonus buys or optional bet enhancements. Naturally triggered free spins and bonus rounds are included in the results. This consistent setup lets us compare win frequency, payout multipliers and feature activity across games. The analysis describes the recorded session, rather than the game’s complete long-term payout behavior.

About RTP Deviation
This analysis does not evaluate the slot's theoretical RTP or long-run return. It only measures how far the total return recorded in this 300-spin session was from the average of other eligible 300SPINS™ reviews conducted with the same method. A larger deviation may suggest a wider range of outcomes, but it does not establish the slot's actual volatility or predict future results.

Special Features
Highlight Features
Special Expanding Symbol
The Special Expanding Symbol is one of the most iconic and popular mechanisms in online slot history, a core free spins feature primarily found in 'Book of...' series games. The essence of this feature is that one regular symbol, randomly selected at the start of the free spins, gains a special power. This symbol, as long as it appears on the reels in the required number to form a win, will expand to cover its entire reel and create massive wins regardless of its position.
Ante Bet
Ante Bet is a special betting mode where the player pays a small additional cost on top of their base bet to artificially increase the probability of entering the game's core bonus feature (usually free spins). It is a kind of 'strategic booster' offered to players who want to enjoy the highlight moments with a higher probability than a regular spin, but at a lower cost than directly buying the bonus game.
Bonus Buy Efficiency

Low Bonus Buy Price
Experience Value
High Experience Value
Free spins triggered once during our 300-spin session. With a buy price of x80, buying offers a much shorter path if you mainly want to experience the free-spin feature.
Monetary Value
Moderate Monetary Value
Free-spin payout strength and free-spin dependency were moderate compared with other slots in our 300SPINS reviews. The buy looks useful as access to the feature, but not an exceptional profit signal.
