Book of Heroes

Review of Book of Heroes

A game developer known for creative slots has returned to a well-known category: the 'book' niche. Book of Heroes uses similar features and math as an older slot, which in turn uses familiar 'book' mechanics.

Book of Heroes - Slot Overview

The Book of Heroes slot looks refreshing in the niche of 'book' games thanks to its gameplay and vibrant look. The first thing that catches the eye is a peaceful setting done with attention to detail. The reels are set in a backdrop of a serene forest. The graphics are high quality, much like the soundtrack.

The game plays out on a standard 5x3 layout with 10 winlines. Players set bets from $0.1 to $40 per spin. The volatility is high, and the RTP is slightly above average at 96.06%. The potential is 5,640x the stake.

The paytable in the Book of Heroes slot is made up of 9 regular symbols. The lower section consists of classic A-10 royal symbols, while the premiums include bows, shields and swords, an enchantress, and a knight. Higher-paying symbols pay from two-of-a-kind and more, and lows need at least 3 instances on a line to award a payout. 5-of-a-kind low symbol wins are worth from 10x to 15x your bet, and premiums pay from 75x to 500x your bet.

Book of Heroes - Bonus Features

Like any other 'book' slot, Book of Heroes revolves around the Free Spins feature, with a twist to the bonus where you can unlock additional extras.

Keep an eye for book symbols, which are both Wild and Scatter. Those substitute for any other regular symbol and play into the Free Spins feature whenever 3 or more appears anywhere in view during the base game. Landing 3, 4, or 5 book symbols simultaneously on the reels awards 8 free spins to start as well as gives a payout of 2x, 20x, or 200x total bet respectively.

Once triggered, players will proceed to the Totem that consists of 3 segments. The first one reveals the special Expanding Symbol for the Free Spins, and the other two award additional spins and remove a random symbol from the reels for the remainder of the bonus. You start from the bottom section, and you can progress to the next level totem by landing an arrow symbol in the highlighted segment on the special reel.

Retriggers are possible, plus you get new spins at the totem on each retrigger. That means that you can not only get additional spins but also get multiple Expanding Symbols as well as remove multiple symbols from the reels, up to 4.

Book of Heroes - Slot Verdict

With the Book of Heroes slot, a studio cloned its own creation, and the only room to get creative in the makeover was the theme. The gameplay and math remained the same, while the theme has switched from Mayan to a fancy Medieval fantasy. Anyway, let's drop the originality and move to the gameplay, which is bound to be enjoyed by slotters.

Although it sticks to the familiar 'book' concept, Book Heroes stands out from the niche with its fortune totem in the free spins that adds a new layer of excitement to the session. Symbol removals and additional free games create bigger winning opportunities in the bonus game, and a couple of retriggers can surely bring you a fortune. All up, Book of Heroes is a decent slot, leaning towards unmissable for those into the genre.
