Novels are not as good material for online slots as compared to movies or television shows because they do not have visual content that can be converted to symbols and other graphics. So you find very few video slots based on books. But the few that are around are of exceptional quality and this article recommends two of them both from the portfolio of Microgaming. The slot games are live at online casinos like Spin Palace and Royal Vegas.

In December 1843 Charles Dickens released A Christmas Carol. This is the story of miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, who hated the spirit of giving in Christmas. One Christmas Eve the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come visit Scrooge and leave him full of love and kindness. The Microgaming video slot based on this novel is titled Scrooge. Scrooge, the three Ghosts of Christmas, Jacob Marley and Tiny Tim appear as symbols on the reels. The game logo is the wild symbol and the Door Knocker is the scatter symbol. If you have read the book then you will enjoy the win animations. The free spins bonus has an innovative triggering mechanism. As you play the game, free spins get added to the counter and the calendar date approaches December 25. When it shows Christmas Day, you are awarded the number of free spins shown in the counter. The payouts are doubled during free spins. The free spins depict all the characters, including Scrooge, affected with the true Christmas spirit.

The other slot machine based on a classic novel is Jekyll and Hyde. In 1886 Robert Louis Stevenson released his novel The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde about the split personality of a doctor. He is Dr Jekyll when good and transforms to Mr Hyde when committing his evil deeds. The eerie atmosphere has been suitably created on the reels, in part by the ominous looking playing card symbols. In the main game you have only Dr Jekyll along with a female victim of the monstrous Hyde. The Wild logo is the wild symbol. The Jekyll and Hyde logo triggers 10 free spins. You can see the doctor transform into his other self and appear as Hyde. There is no Jekyll symbol in the free spins because both Jekyll and Hyde cannot be seen together. As a player you will not mind the transformation because the Hyde symbol pays three times as much as Jekyll. Jekyll and Hyde offers the popular Microgaming 243 ways to win structure.
