Book of Sam Review
This installment featuring the troll family offers a memorable experience. The creatures are on holiday to Las Vegas, and the setting is far more engaging. The visuals make you feel like you’re on the trip with them. The game uses the Egypt theme with imagination.
The game utilizes cliches, and the troll kids seem to enjoy the artifacts. There are 3 different troll modifiers in all stages of the game, at random times, and they hit more often in the expanding symbols bonus round. Up to 3 symbols can expand from the get-go, and up to 5 is possible. The 10,000x potential is higher than average for the genre, but the top-tier RTP is a drawback.
Book of Sam Slot Features
You need 2 to 5 matching premium symbols on a payline to win. The Book symbol is both wild and scatter, and as a wild it substitutes for pay symbols to complete wins. The wild pays the same as the top-tier Sam symbol.
The Electric Treats feature can trigger in all stages of the game, each time one of the troll family character symbols creates a win:
- Sam - awards a respin with a sticky book scatter/wild, and the sticky book serves as an expanding wild in the bonus round.
- Sandra - awards a respin with a multiplier that boosts any win.
- Maggie - awards a symbol redrop after removing low-value symbols, cats, or Maggie symbols. Expanding symbols will not be removed.
The Bonus Round triggers when you land 3, 4, or 5 book scatters, giving you 8 free spins with 1, 2, or 3 expanding symbols, respectively. Which pay symbols are chosen as expanding is random, and these symbols expand to generate full-payline wins if enough instances land anywhere in view.
Landing 3+ book scatter/wilds during the bonus round awards extra spins as well as +1 extra expanding symbol. You can get up to 5 expanding symbols, and Sandra’s multiplier is persistently active during any Electric Treat modifier. It’s not active on regular free spins, however, and the book symbol becomes an expanding wild that helps complete expanding wins if Sam’s electric treat is active.
The X-iter Feature Buy menu is available in some regions. It comes with the following options:
- Bonus Hunt - pay 2x the stake to double your bonus round chances.
- Electric Treat - pay 10x the stake to get a guaranteed Electric Treat.
- Expanding Symbols - pay 50x the stake to get a spin where all symbols are expanding.
- Bonus Round - pay 100x the stake to get the regular bonus round.
- Super Bonus - pay 500x the stake to get a bonus round where all symbols are expanding.
The 200 Spins Book of Sam Slot Experience
You get a taste of the base game, before the Super Bonus Round. You see expanding symbol action, as well as Electric Treat triggers.
Review Summary
The troll family travel to Vegas. They still get to use Egyptian imagery and artifacts, in a playful way. You’re whisked away into a world of excitement, and the Electric Treat feature keeps you guessing during base game play.
Getting up to 3 expanding symbols from the start in the bonus round is interesting, but you will get only 1 from 3 scatters most of the time. The multiplier can help, and the electric treat modifier seemed to trigger more frequently during the feature. It adds up to an unusual slot experience, and it’s refreshing.
