Slot Features
Book is your Wild and your Scatter symbol that can appear on three middle reels, 2, 3 and 4, only. As a Wild, it will substitute in a win to help form winning combos, and as a Scatter it will trigger the Free Spins feature if you want to trigger it rather than buying your way into it.
Free Spins
Once you hit 3 Book symbols you will trigger the Free Spins feature and win 10 spins with a randomly chosen special Expanding symbol that will help form wins. However, both Expanding symbol and the Book symbol will be able to expand and cover the entire reel, with the difference in the Book instance where it will also award a multiplier that ranges between x1 and x5.
Summary
Book of Helios might be another slot that falls in the ‘Book of’ category but seems that these slots come with a recipe for success, so why change anything here. Animation and the overall design of the game are terrific and the familiar gameplay brings us 95.58% RTP with a stunning maximum win potential of x20168.4 the bet.
A slot from Betsoft based on an ancient greece theme and comes with a low min bet of 0.20 on a 5 reel and 3 row design with just 10 lines.
There is a free spins feature that is a well known book design and to trigger it you need to get 3 books which are also wild symbols and you can if you want buy the bonus for 65.5x your bet size and then you won’t have to grind the base game to reach the fun bonus game. There is an interesting aspect of the book feature in that whenever books appear in the feature they can multiple your wins by between 1x and 5x. So after the special symbol gets selected for the entire span of those 10 free spins you will get that symbol expand to fill the whole reel.
The music in this game is suitable for the theme of the slot and is worth having the music on while you play the game along with the sound effects.
The max win with this slot is a huge 20168x and is on the high side compared to many other slots today.
Average number of spins to get a feature I found during my real mode play was about 1 in 100 spins and I found that my first feature took just 67 spins and it paid really well a nice 238.4x which is a very welcome payout.
As for the RTP that is with this slot, it is at a 95.58% making it a good RTP but it could be better if it was at at least 96% or higher.
I have to say that this is one of those book games that if you land the book scatters in the feature then it won’t be a retrigger, and thus you only get to have 10 free spins for the entire feature and not like in some other book games where the book scatter can appear on all 5 reels in this it is only on the middle 3 reels and doesn’t retrigger which I prefer slots with a retrigger capability.
