Book of Egypt (Thunderspin) Review

The classic 5x3 grid is set between two statues of the Egyptian falcon-headed god, Horus, and mysterious hieroglyphs are inscripted on the stones below the reels. The visuals are pleasing to the eye, and the presentation comes across as both traditional and refreshing. The spin pace is excellent with the turbo switched on, and you can plow through plenty of spins in no-time.

This is good since the base game is mostly a grind, although a wild separate from the book scatter can help you land decent payouts. The big twist to the usual ‘book of’ tale is the fact that you can get up to all 9 symbols as special expanding symbols in the bonus round. This is done via retriggers, and the max win is 1,000x your stake.

The premium symbols pay between 75 and 500 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the golden Scarab Wild steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins in all stages of the game. That pretty much sums up what you can expect from the base game, and we’ll cover the bonus round below.

You need 3, 4 or 5 book scatters in view to trigger the Bonus Round, and this awards 10, 15 or 20 free spins, respectively. Landing the 3, 4 or 5 scatters on the same free spins retriggers the bonus round with 5, 7 or 10 extra spins, respectively. Each retrigger awards a new chosen symbol, and you can get up to all 9 symbols as expanding symbols.

A random pay symbol is chosen from the book before the bonus round starts, and it becomes the expanding scatter pay symbol you start with. You don’t need to land the expanding symbol on adjacent reels for it to expand and create a win, as this happens as long as you land enough instances of it.

You get a decent taste of the base game, before we trigger the bonus round with 10 free spins. We got the third most valuable symbol as the special expanding symbol first, but a retrigger gave us the top-tier Pharaoh symbol as an expanding symbol as well. You can check it all out for yourself by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

We’ve tried our fair share of Book slots by now, and Book of Egypt doesn’t come with any huge surprises to those well versed in the genre. There are some deviations from the original recipe however, as the wild symbol is usually also the scatter in most similar games. That’s not the case here though, which makes it somewhat easier to benefit from wilds. You can also get up to 20 free spins for starters, instead of the usual 10.

The base game is a featureless grind nonetheless, as is usually the case with these kinds of games, and a lot hangs on which chosen symbol you get in the bonus round. The good news is that you can get more than one chosen symbol via retriggers, and up to all 9 symbols if you’re really lucky. The 1,000x potential is another deviation from the 5,000x “norm”, and it might not go down too well with those familiar with the genre.
