Book of Fortune

This Book Of Fortune game from Amatic is probably one of their older games, and the overall visual presentation of the game looks kind of dated a bit. The graphics are not that detailed and the colours are not vibrant either, giving a more subdued atmosphere for playing. Some may like it, others may not, but to me, it bothers me not. Looks don’t impress me, but the winning money certainly does, hehehe.

Typically of all similar book games, this Book Of Fortune too plays with fixed 10 lines, has a starting bet of 10 cents per spin, has excellent win values for all the symbols, and has a single maximum possible win of 5000x the bet amount, simply by getting all 15 of the Blonde Lady symbols on the reels. Well, that nice blonde lady seems to be looking back at me and asking “What? You want to get all of me?”, looking cynically or sarcastically, or whatever, but that doesn’t bother me at all either, hehehe.

Books are very important in everyday life, so do read more of books, but in this instance, try to get as many books as possible, because that’s where the money is at. Money doesn’t grow on trees, we all know that for sure, but money can certainly come in huge bulks from books, especially these kind of Books! What? You also already know that? Okay, good, very good. The question is, so how many Books have you played so far? Hehehe.

As for me, I have played numerous Book games so far, from various game providers. Some played well and paid good, some played coldly and only knew how to eat my money, especially those from PlaynGo, but this Book Of Fortune game has neither been hot nor cold to me. Maybe because I haven’t given it many thousands of spins as yet, as what I have done on some other games, so my impression of this game can only be lukewarm, for now. I did get a few free spins feature games, but they all paid very lowly, around 20x to 30x my bet amounts, and only one game that paid a slightly better 62x win. From that moment on, I had to say “hasta la vista baby, because you’re simply not being good to me!”. Hahaha.

The Book of Fortune slot. A high variance classic, from Amatic Industries with 5 reels and 10 Paylines.

Here we have a solid clone of Book of Ra, with decent graphics and old time soundings, but also with excitement in the bonus round. Amatic invites you to enter the fairy tale book, leafing through its pages one by one, waiting for the reels to allow. You might find the moment that the Book of Fortune, can lead you to a vast fortune, in this fairy tale!

The Book of Fortune symbol serves not only as Wild, but also as Scatter in the game. Land a minimum of 3 Book of Fortune symbols, and you activate the Bonus Feature and win 10 Free spins. A special symbol is selected at random. During the bonus game this symbol functions as an Expanded bonus symbol. One reel is filled with this randomly chosen Expanded bonus symbol.

So, it is possible to get a full screen of the same symbol. This is when the “Fortune” part of the title lives up to its name, and in the best case scenario the maximum payout in a single spin is 10,000x total bet!

I cannot remember when last, I play Amatic, because of their high variance, but I had no choice as the wager was high and I had to try and get a few big wins. You guys know book of dead and book of fortune is the same. However, I found the base game of this slot base very well and can keep you entertained.

This game has a dark blue theme look similar to like a scary background look. The graphics are not good at all. The sound is your standard novomatic sound whenever you spin the reels. With 10 pay lines this slot has a lot of potential.

The game has a few premium symbols where 5 of kind of the highest symbol awards x500 your total bet, which is something you would need to get during free spins. The other symbols pay x200 and x75 your bet as you go lower in the pay table. The slot has also the standard car deck symbol as the lowest paying symbols.

The free spins feature is triggered when 3 or more books lands anywhere on the reels. A random symbol is chosen as the extra scatter symbol. This means that landing 2, 3 or more of the extra scatter symbol lands on the reel they will expand to cover the entire reel and award scatter like pay-outs according to the pay table. Getting the highest paying symbol during the feature in 5 of kind, pays x5000 your bet.

I played this slot a few days ago and won x300 my bet during the free spins feature. However, it took me almost 200 spins to trigger the feature. The symbol was low paying symbol, however I hit a 5 of kind during free spins with premium symbol which paid x200 my bet. I triggered the feature 4 time. I will always come back for this slot and really enjoyed it. It helped my balance but could not complete wager in the end. Please try this slot but only if you have a big balance.

OK time to review the Books from Amatic. Book of Fortune is a clone video slot game from Amatic similar to Book of Ra and Lord of the Ocean from Novamatic. If I had to guess I would say Book of Fortune is the Lord’s clone while Book of Aztec is Ra’s clone game. If you have ever played these slots in a land based casino you already know what to expect.

But if you haven’t here are the details. Book of Fortune is a 10 pay line slot with 5 reels and 3 rows. The game has a Wild and Scatter symbol which is the Book and the highest paying symbol is the Woman. 5 of these ladies on the screen will give you a 1,000 x total bet win so the maximum possible payout in a single spin is 10,000 x total bet. A very nice payout you have to agree.

From the bonus rounds Book of Fortune only has a free spins bonus. It is triggered with 3 or more Books on the screen and the player will get 10 free spins. The free spins can be re-triggered with another set of 3 or more books on the screen and the most re-triggers I have gotten is 11. That’s a lot of free spins and it was a great payout as well. Once the free spins are triggered one symbol is randomly awarded to be an extra scatter symbol. This means once 2, 3 or more of the symbols land on the reels they will expand to cover the entire reel and award scatter like payouts according to the pay table.

This is a great game to play and can award big payouts. My biggest payout in the bonus round is over 1,000 x total bet from 4 lady symbols. I still haven’t gotten a full screen of these beauties but hopefully one day soon.
