Book of 1001 Nights - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

You might not know the details of all 1001 stories in the classic collection of folklore known as 1001 nights, but you’re probably familiar with at least some of these legendary tales, like Aladdin. In Book of 1001 Nights by Leander, the focus isn’t on individual stories, but on Scheherazade herself, the woman who told them, all contained within 5-reels and 10 paylines. It’s a beautiful slot with some thrilling free spins.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack 

Book of 1001 Nights gives you the chance to step into one of the most famous and magical stories of Middle Eastern folklore. There was a king so scared that his wife would be unfaithful that married a new woman every day and beheaded her the next morning so she could never leave. Clever Scheherazade was his newest bride and had no intention of being killed. She told him a story so captivating that he had to hear the ending. Except she left it on a cliffhanger. He had to hear the next part, so he had to leave her alive until the next evening, and she continued to string out stories for 1001 nights, telling him about famous heroes like Aladdin and Ali Baba. By that point, he loved her too much to kill her.

It's a story that’s made it to the reels before, like in the excellent 10001 Nights from Red Tiger Gaming. Everything you would imagine when reading 1001 nights, from the billowy gauze curtains in the royal bedchamber to the beauty of Scheherazade herself can also be found in book of 1001 Nights. It’s an enchanting world lit by coloured lanterns and the bright face of the full moon. In the background plays an intriguing melody with a definite Middle Eastern tone. The entire slot is drenched in atmosphere, enough that you’ll be just as captivated as the king was by this ancient tale.

Book of 1001 Nights RTP and Variance

Playing our free slots is a good way to set expectations for a game without having to gamble real cash. It doesn’t matter so much if you’re not having a lucky day. It also offsets the risk of playing a slot like Book of 1001 Nights, which has a slightly disappointing RTP of 95.1%, lower than most modern games, but also has a high variance that suggests wins may be less frequent (though admittedly higher). With all that in mind, any slot can be unpredictable when you actually hit spin, so don’t take anything as a guarantee. 

How to Play Book of 1001 Nights

Can you create a story as entrancing as Scheherazade’s?

1. You’ll find the menu button at the top left. The first page it will take you to is settings, where you’ll find separate toggles for sound, music and turbo spin.
2. From there you can use the info button to navigate to a page with the paytable, paylines and features all displayed.
3. There’s also a more general game rules page for anything else you need to know.
4. Back on the main screen, look to the bottom left. The stack of coins will open the bet page, where every available wager amount is displayed for you to choose.
5. That choice should be based on a sensible assessment of how much you can afford to risk, based in part on the total balance displayed at the bottom of the screen.
6. Somewhat unusually, there doesn’t appear to be an autoplay feature, so you’ll have to stick to one spin at a time. That does make it easier for you to maintain control. Just hit the regular spin button, which as normal is the largest button on the screen.

Always play responsibly. When the fun stops, stop.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

When you open the bet page it will give you a pretty satisfying range of between 0.10 and 50.00 for your wager.

Information on possible payouts comes from the paytable. To calculate the worth of 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols, multiply paytable values by the total bet, then divide by the paylines. For 5 matches, it looks like this:

10, J, Q - 100

K, A - 150

Pipe, Scimitar - 750

Scarab - 2000

Scheherazade - 5000

In addition to its role triggering bonuses and as a wild, the scatter book has a maximum value of 200.
