Book of Doom Slot Review
Whatever differences are found among ancient civilizations lost in the darkness of time, there is one thing they all have in common. It is a mystery covering their ways of thinking and living and above all their immense riches. The treasures of lost civilizations are never easy to discover but the one – the chosen one – who bets his bottom dollar on it will take it all. This is the idea behind Book of Doom, a 5-reel 10-line slot by Belatra Games developing the theme of Ancient Egypt and inviting the bravest to arid African deserts to discover the Book of Doom full of prophecies some of which are pointing at treasures. The treasures are abundant: there are line wins up to x5,000 the line bet, Wild wins up to x5,000 the line bet and Scatter wins up to x200 the total bet in the base game and the top prize of x50,000 the line bet during the feature.Symbols and gameplay
The slot features very dynamic gameplay which is not interrupted by any fancy stuff. There are 9 non-feature symbols including playing cards from 10 to A, Horus, Anubis, Pharaoh and Hero. Cards pay not much, up to x150 the line bet, other symbols offer better wins, up to x5,000 the line bet. The line bet is set within the range from 1 to 100 coins; as soon as paylines are fixed they are active all the time and a total bet may vary from 10 to 1,000 coins. These coins may be paid in C$ or bitcoin as the video slot takes account of recent developments in the online casino business and is fully adapted to bets in fiat money and cryptocurrencies.
The Book of Doom is the most important symbol: it acts like a Wild and Scatter in the base game and these bonus symbols are as generous as the Nile which abundant waters make the desert fertile and Egypt enormously rich. The Book as a Wild substitutes for any non-feature icon and pays between x1 and x5,000 the line bet. As a Scatter, it awards between x2 and x200 the total bet and triggers free spins.
Each and every detail of the slot machine including reels, symbols, background, counters and buttons are made by true geniuses of design and make the gameplay a delight.
Free spins
When three Scatters hit the reels, a Free Spin feature triggers. It starts with a prolonged intro which looks odd after the fairly dynamic base game. By turning pages and symbols, the Book starts looking for a non-feature icon which is going to become a super symbol during the upcoming bonus feature.
The chosen Super symbol pays in any position on a line even if a combo starts not from the leftmost reel (the game pays from left to right). Moreover, the Super symbol expands and takes the entire reel it lands on: if a card becomes the Super Symbol, it takes 3 or more cards to make them expand and if Horus, Anubis Pharaoh or Hero becomes the Super Symbol, it takes only 2 symbols to make them expand. This feature may result in a spin producing 2, 3, 4 or 5 reels full of matching symbols. The best outcome of the feature could produce a win up to x50,000 the line bet which is a fabulous payout if you play the slot machine for real money. Even if not all the 5 reels are made of matching icons, the game pays lavishly because the Super symbols pay in any positions on a line.
The game initially awards only 10 free spins which is clearly a mismatch to the generosity of the Nile and Ancient Egypt. This is why the bonus may retrigger up to 15 times in a row and award up to 150 free spins with a chance of hitting up to x50,000 the line bet. To retrigger free spins, players need 3 Scatters in any position on any reels.
Buy Bonus feature
Many Belatra Games slots available in Canada are equipped with the Buy Bonus feature and the Book of Doom slot is not an exception. The feature saves time and effort: it takes some credits and triggers the bonus feature in return. So, there is no need to wait for 3 Scatters to land on reels, there is the Buy Bonus feature making a Free Spins round trigger as soon as possible in the times of Ancient Egypt.
Jackpot Wheel of Fortune
Like some other slot machines by Belatra Games, Book of Doom is equipped with the Jackpot Wheel of Fortune feature. It runs on the background, all the time, in the base game, during free spins or gamble rounds, and awards so-called JP points. As soon as a player accrues a certain preset amount of JP points, the bonus feature triggers and the game gives a chance to play the Wheel of Fortune and hit the jackpot the size of which is not revealed in the rules.
Gamble feature
Book of Doom is equipped with an advanced gamble feature. Each win in the base game activates the feature and it offers two options. Players may bet on colors (red or black) or suits. The correct pick of colors doubles the bet and the lucky pick of a suit multiplies the bet by 4. Any incorrect pick ends the feature and the base game resumes.
Summary
Book of Doom is a 5-reel 10-line slot developing the theme of Ancient Egypt and adding one more excellent game into the row of book-driven slots. The slot machine awards up to 150 free spins with a randomly chosen Super symbol. A fabulous Buy Bonus makes it possible to run free spins immediately. A gamble feature and the Jackpot Wheel of Fortune offer extra chances to earn some more cash, in C$ or bitcoin, on desktops or in a mobile casino.
