Book of Adventure slot review (Stakelogic)

The Book of Adventure video slot by Stakelogic is an outright Book of Ra clone

Only the title and the figures are slightly different. The Ancient Egypt theme and the Expanding Special Symbol Feature return in this game, part of the ‘Book of’ series.

We are not complaining about the latter, just because the Expanding Special Symbols can deliver some substantial rewards.

And we don’t even mind that this slot has the Ancient Egypt theme, that’s always good for some mystique and excitement. I just think it is a shame that the software providers seem to have a lack of imagination.

Weeeell, we will leave that behind us for the moment and focus on giving the Book of Adventure slot a fair review.

Will you become an explorer on an adventure in the Empire, full of hidden treasure?

Book of Adventure gameplay and features

Book of Adventure has a 5 x 3 reel setup, situated against an Egyptian desert backdrop.

The game is played on the standard five reels with three rows of symbols. Those symbols are related to the Ancient Egypt theme.

The game has 10 fixed paylines onto which you have to attempt to make your winning combinations, going from left to right. A winning combination appears with a minimum of 2 identical symbols on the reels.

You determine what the value of the coins is you are playing with: from $€ 0.01 to $€ 0.50. The betting level can also be determined from 1 to 10.

This makes your minimum bet $€ 0.10 and your maximum bet $€ 50, per spin.

Payout rate and variance

The theoretical payout rate of this Book of Ra clone is pegged at a satisfying 96.21%. This RTP is about the average RTP of an online casino slot, so no complaints here.

The variance of the game is medium to high. During the free spin bonus, you can win a maximum of 5,000 x your total bet per spin.

Symbols and payouts

The base game has four high-value symbols: a likeness of the explorer, the Pharaoh, the statue of the Egyptian God Anubis and the bird symbol.

The symbol with the Indiana Jones lookalike is the highest paying one in the primary game. A 5-of-a-kind of this high-value symbol is worth 500 x your total bet.

The symbol of the Pharaoh has a value of 20 x your total bet with 5 the same, while the statue of Anubis and the bird symbol will pay out 7.5 x your total bet with 5 identical ones.

These are also the only 4 symbols that will earn you a prize starting at 2 of them on the reels.

Low-value symbols are the well-known card symbols 10, J, Q, K and A. The award for these symbols is 1.5 x your total bet with a 5-of-a-kind.

Wild Scatter Symbol

The Book of Adventure, which is the key to this game, serves as the Wild Scatter symbol. This symbol replaces all other symbols except for the Expanding special symbol. More on that later.

The Wild Scatter symbol also has other functions. With 3 or more you win a scatter prize, but more importantly, is the fact that you trigger the Free Spin Bonus game as well.

Free Spin Bonus Game Feature

Once you have spun 3 or more scatters on the reels and you activated the Free Spins bonus game, you receive 10 free spins.

Expanding Symbol Feature

Before the Free Spin bonus game starts, the Book of Adventure will randomly select one of the symbols on the reels as the Expanding special symbol. If you can make a winning combination with this chosen symbol, it will spread automatically over the entire reel.

The reward for a winning combination with the Expanding symbol can go all the way up to 5,000 x with a full screen of the Indiana Jones symbols.

If during the Free Spin Bonus Game Feature 3 or more Wild Scatter symbols appear again, you will receive an additional 10 free spins.

Our verdict on the Book of Adventure video slot

The Book of Adventure slot remains an exciting game to play, despite the obvious ‘copy and paste’ work.

The potential for big payouts is certainly not diminished by it. Just in the primary game alone, you can snag a cool $€ 2,500, if you play with the maximum bet.

Contrary to some of the newer Book of Ra type games, this Stakelogic slot does not have the option to buy Free Spins. Personally, I don’t mind this at all; I’d rather “earn” my free spins.

I think your taste will guide you when it comes to choosing which one of the ‘Book of’ series games appeals the most to you.

They are all cut from the same cloth, but they are all fun as well.

There is that.

3 out of 5 stars.
