Book of Anubis slot review (Stakelogic)

In the Book of Anubis by Stakelogic, the Egyptian god Anubis is the central figure

The Book of Anubis slot transports you to the wondrous Pyramids of Egypt in search of hidden treasures and riches that are beyond anything you could’ve imagined.

Spin the reels and go on a journey into the heart of the pyramids to find the infamous Book of Anubis.

The background music only enhances the mystical atmosphere. The design has been kept pretty simple by, among other things, the use of symbols that are related to the Ancient Egypt theme.

Are you ready to discover what Book of Anubiscan brings to you? Then step right up and enter into the world of Pharaohs, hidden treasures and embrace the mystique.

Book of Anubis gameplay and features

The 5 x 3 reel setup of Book of Anubis is framed by a duo of Egyptian statues guarding the entrance to the pyramid. Occasionally you will see servants walk by at the bottom of the screen.

The slot has 10 fixed paylines on which you have to make winning combinations from left to right.

You determine the coin value. Your choices start at a minimum of $€  0.01 and go up to $€  0.50. The betting level can also be adjusted between 1 and 10.

This means that your minimum bet will be $€ 0.10 and your maximum bet will be capped at $€ 50 per spin.

Variance and payout rate of the Book of Anubis slot

The theoretical payout percentage is 95.45%, which is below the average of an online casino slot. The game’s variance is high.

The Book of Anubis slot is primarily designed to appeal to the slots player that likes some serious risk in his game.

Symbols and payouts

In the primary game, there is a total of 4 high-value symbols: the Egyptian God Anubis, the Pharaoh, the Scarab and the bird symbol. Anubis is the highest paying of them all in the primary game. A 5-of-a-kind of this premium symbol will net you 500 x your total bet.

The Pharaoh is worth 200 x your total bet if you manage to spin 5 of the same on an active payline.

The Scarab and bird symbols have a value of 75 x your total bet if you have 5 identical ones.

The low-value symbols are the tried and true card symbols of 10, J, Q, K and A. Any 5-of-a-kind of these will result in a win that is 75 x your total bet.

Wild Scatter Symbol

The Book of Anubis, which is key in this game, serves as the Wild/Scatter symbol. You will recognise the book when you see the Ankh, also known as the cross of life. This Wild/ Scatter symbol replaces all other symbols, except for the Expanding special symbol. More about this later.

The Wild /Scatter symbol has other functions as well. With 3 or more of these, you win a scatter prize, but more importantly, it also triggers the Free Spin Bonus Game.

Free Spin Bonus Game Feature

After you have managed to spin 3 or more Wild/Scatter symbol and the Free Spin Bonus is activated you will receive 10 free spins.

Expanding Symbol Feature

Before starting the Free Spin Bonus game, one symbol on the reels will be randomly selected as the Expanding special symbol.

If a winning combination is formed with this special symbol, it will automatically expand across the entire reel.

An entire screen of the highest value symbol Anubis wins you the main prize worth 10 x 500 = 5,000 your total bet.

The possibility of hitting this kind of super big win immediately explains these high variance slots’ enormous popularity.

Our verdict on the Book of Anubis video slot

Book of Anubis is not much different from the many ‘Book of Ra’ games you can find. Visually, it is no marvel, but there are some massive prizes to be won.

It is disappointing that the theoretical payout rate of 95.45% is a tad lower than most other “Book of” slots out there.

Are you a true fan of “Book of Ra”? Would you like to play a different variant? Then, by all means, give the Book of Anubis slot a spin, or two.

3 out of 5 stars.
