After the success of Book of Gold: Double Chance and Book of Gold: Classic, Playson now bring us Book of Gold: Symbol Choice. While it may not look or feel much different from the prequels, the latest edition has the added feature of symbol choice during the free spins round, which certainly adds to the thrills. Read our review to find out why this slot is equally worth a spin.
Book of Gold: Symbol Choice bonus features
Aside from the feature that gives this slot its unique name, Book of Gold: Symbol Choice doesn’t offer much difference in its features from the other Book of Gold slots. However, the old rule of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” applies here, and we found this to still be a thrilling and quality slot in its own right.
Free spins
Finding three or more of the scatter wild book symbols will trigger the free spins round, which instantly awards 10 free chances to win. These spins will be played at the bet level which triggered the round – so if you’re after higher wins, a higher bet here is essential.
Special expanding symbol
Before the free spins round kicks off, you’ll be presented with numerous symbols to choose from. Whichever you choose will play a significant role during the free spins round, since whenever it appears, it will expand across the entire reel to give you extra chances to win.
The trick here is to choose wisely, since though a higher paying symbol will lead to higher payouts when expanded, it can be harder to find. If you want to maximise your chances of seeing your chosen symbol during the free spins round, we recommend choosing a lower-paying symbol.
Wilds
The book symbol actually plays two roles in this slot – both wild and scatter. As a wild, it can substitute for any symbol (other than your chosen symbol in the free spins round) to help complete your paylines. As a scatter, three or more will trigger the free spins round in the first place.
Book of Gold: Symbol Choice jackpot
There is no jackpot present in this Playson slot, but there is a maximum payout of 5,000x per spin, giving you plenty of opportunities to hit it big.
RTP and volatility
The return to player is 95.95% which is quite good. This slot is also a high volatility slot, meaning the higher wins won’t come in as often, but will hit hard when they do.
Book of Gold: Symbol Choice on mobile
Just like the other Book of Gold slots, you’ll be able to play Book of Gold: Symbol Choice on mobile with ease. Due to its simplistic nature, it’s a perfect match for the smaller screen.
