Book of Secrets

Review of the Game

This game is an attempt at producing a familiar type of game, and it has achieved a solid standard. The playing field features 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 paylines.

Thematically, this game is a traditional Egyptian game, and its production values are only average overall. It is colorful, but it’s all rather straightforward, and there are no big effects to be found anywhere. It's stuff we’ve seen before.

Let’s now take a look at the slot’s mathematical model. It combines a high volatility level with a very juicy 6,227x jackpot, while the hit game’s hit frequency clocks in at 28.97%. Players can then jump in for bets between £0.20 and £100 per spin. And the slot’s theoretical RTP? Well, it’s always between 85.15% and 97.94%, with the default value standing at 96.05%.

Game Features

The paytable offers 9 pay symbols, and it’s possible to divide them into 5 low pays and 4 high pays. For low pays, there are card ranks from Tens to Aces, and those pay up to 15x your bet for a full five-of-a-kind combination. For high pays, you can look forward to ankhs, scarabs, gold masks, and daring female adventurers. Notably, all high pays pay out even in sets of just two, and the top-paying female adventurer symbols are worth 500x your bet for a full set.

As is the standard for this type of game, there’s only one special symbol. We’re talking about the game’s Book symbols, which work as both Wilds and Scatters.

Landing 3+ Book symbols triggers the Free Spins feature with 10 free spins, and retriggers are possible as well. Most importantly, though, the game will pick one of the pay symbols at random at the start of the feature, and all instances of that symbol will work as special symbols during free spins. That means that they can not only expand to cover an entire reel, but also pay out when not adjacent on a payline.

You can then also try to boost your wins with the Gamble feature, which is all about trying to guess the color of a hidden playing card. If you guess right, your potential win will double. If you guess wrong, you’ll lose the risked stake. Here and there, you can get lucky and hit a Joker card, which will double your potential payout regardless of your guess.

Review Summary

When you put everything together, it should be clear that this is a straightforward game that follows the basic formula without adding anything new to it. That makes things rather unexciting on the whole, as there are now many more complex games out there, but the fundamentals are all there, and the game is without any issues as such.
