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

Introduction

The ‘Book of…’ slots have been a slow burn success in casinos and now it seems every developer is making them. Book of Win takes a tongue in cheek approach to the genre with some colourful graphics and classic ‘Book of…’ gameplay.

What marks out all these slots is the free spins with mystery symbol feature. Land the free games bonus and a symbol will be chosen at random to expand and cover all reel positions, paying even in non-adjacent positions.

In Book of Win, a symbol will only expand when there’s a guaranteed win on the reels.

The power symbol here is the book wild/scatter symbol that saves on screen real estate by doing double duty to complete possible wins and trigger the free spins feature.

The cheeky graphics and animations look great on mobile and tablet, and you can play Book of Win and other Smartsoft free play slots here at Slots Temple.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

We’re back in Ancient Egypt again, but at least this time there’s some fun with the graphics, which feature bandages...a lot of mummy’s bandages. In fact, all the royals are wrapped up ready for the journey to the other world.

This is Ancient Egyptian slots gaming, but with a sense of humour thanks to the quirky visuals.

You can almost feel the heat thanks to the hot, saturated colours of sunburnt, golden sands and brightly coloured lizards and creepy crawlies. SmartSoft has stuck with a comic book style that gives us cool mummies and animated sarcophaguses.

There are 11 symbols here, all nicely drawn and including the book itself, scarab beetles and statues. The entire thing comes gift-wrapped in a standard Egyptian soundtrack which adds to the atmosphere that this slot conjures up.

RTP & Volatility

SmartSoft has not published the volatility and RTP of this slot. However, we estimate this slot to have medium volatility which should suit most players and you can check it for yourself by playing free play spins.

How to play Book of Win

The user interface here might be a little different to what you’re used to, thanks to the way you pay for each spin. Our handy guide should get you up and running fast:

1. The first thing to do is take a good look at the rules and payouts, so click on the Menu icon at the top right hand corner of the screen then click the ? to open the paytable

2. You can also use this menu to control sounds via the Speaker icon, or play in fullscreen mode

3. The number of lines is adjustable by using the + and - icons but most players will opt to play all 10

4. Setting a bet is easy - use the + and - buttons to scroll through the available stakes then select one that fits your budget. But be aware that as soon as you click the button you’ll play one game at that stake

5. You can either continue playing individual games by pressing one of the bet buttons or click on Auto Play to select 10, 25, 50 or 75 autospins

Remember, always play responsibly by setting a session budget and taking frequent timeouts.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

Bets here range from 0.10 to 25.00 credits played over all 10 lines which should suit most styles of play, although you can adjust the number of paylines for a budget game played at just 0.01 credit over 1 line.

The highest paying symbols are found in the base game, and pay in multipliers of your stake. The 4 picture symbols payout from 2 of a kind, making this game a little more forgiving than some other slots and the top prize is 5,000x, although those big wins require patience.

Here are the maximum payouts in Book of Win:

- Mummy pays 5,000x
- Book pays 2,000x
- Sarcophagus pays 2,000x
- Scarab pays 750x
- Statue pays 750x
- K & A pay 150x
- 10, J, Q pay 100x

Bonus Features

Ever since Book of Ra hit casinos, Book of… slots have been incredibly popular, offering players a simple but potentially lucrative feature - free spins with expanding symbols.

Book of Win sticks rigidly to the formula, with the Book acting as a wild/scatter just as it does in Play N Go’s Book of Dead slot.

Fans of Book of… slots will also know to expect a randomly chosen symbol in the free spins feature. This can pay in non-adjacent positions and on all lines played and will only expand when enough symbols for a win are present.

SmartSoft has also included a simple risk game for players looking to boost their bankroll further. This involves guessing the colour of a card - if you’re right, you double your winnings, if you’re wrong you’ll lose everything.

Overall Review: Our Verdict

Book of Win is a visually appealing slot but the gameplay won’t have you heading for the Pyramids. This is basic Book of… stuff with no extra bonus games or twists like expanding symbols in the base game.

If you’re a fan of the genre, then you’ll be happy to play a few spins but we didn’t find anything significantly different to make us choose this book over all the others.
