Book of Gold: Traditional bonus features

Playson could easily have gone kitsch-crazy with this casino game, give that the word ‘gold’ is right there in its title. Luckily, the studio chose a more mature, understated approach and the game looks opulent but not over the top. The reels are edged with gold and we can see the low value royal symbols.

Slightly more generous are the hieroglyphs, depicting the Eye of Ra and the ankh. An image of the god Horus and a pictogram of a pharaoh are the most valuable, with the latter awarding the player 500 times their stake when five land in a winning combination.

Wilds

The Book of Gold is the most important symbol on these reels, as you might expect. The book acts as both the Wild and the Scatter. It can substitute for any other symbol except the Expanding Symbols during the free spins feature. It also rewards with 200 times the stake when five land on a payline.

Book of Gold: Traditional Free Spins

When the player lands three or more Book of Gold symbols, 10 free spins are awarded. Before the free rounds start, the book opens to reveal which symbol has been randomly selected to be the Expanding Symbol for the duration of the feature. Any one can be selected except the Scatter.

When the selected symbol appears, it will occupy all the spaces on the reel, thus improving the player’s chance of securing a win. Expanding Symbol wins are paid out independently of bet lines.

Free spins can be re-triggered by landing more Scatter symbols, with every 3 Books awarding 10 free spins up to a maximum of 50 extra spins.
