Although it represents one of the most important Egyptian deities, Atem, or originally – Atum has not been the inspiration for any video slot so far.
The first God, the Finisher, the Complete one…
…all of these names apparently influenced All41 Studios to design this game under auspices of renowned Microgaming.
Simply put, Book of Atem is a modern edition of the legendary Book of Ra video slot.
The crucial is not to experience this game as a copy or the provider’s lack of creativity, but as an attempt to revive one of the most popular titles ever…
…but in a much more beautiful manner.
It features 10 paylines fixed on a standard 5x4 grid, a decent RTP and amazing paying potential.
For all of you who have spent hours and hours playing ‘mechanical’ god of the sun and for all of you encountering this type of games for the first time, we will do our best to give you a thorough analysis of this highly volatile release.
Theme and Symbols
Once more, the grandeur of the fertile plain along the Nile has proven to be an inexhaustible source of inspiration for casino software developers.
Without getting into any controversy about the overall quality of Book of Atem, it is undeniable that it is one of the better designed slots from the category.
Top-level graphics and high-quality soundtrack are something that you’ll notice as soon as the loading screen ends.
As you could expect, the bottom of the paytable is reserved for the royals (10-A). If we proceed to the top of it, we will encounter fitting symbols for Ancient Egypt such as lotus flowers, cobra snakes and falcons.
The most rewarding symbol is the portrait of Pharaoh and it can pay up to 500x bet for 5 of a kind landed per line, while the book symbol acts as wild and scatter.
Betting Options
In order to start this ancient, highly volatile adventure, you will need to set your bet between 0.10 and 25 coins…
…the real treat for all of you low-rollers out there!
Despite its modest betting rang, the title can be interesting to big shots too, thanks to its amazing maximum reward of 125.000 coins.
Improved by a theoretical return to player (RTP) of 96.45%, this one-armed bandit looks even better.
As for additional options, on the side of the spin button you will find autoplay where you can set up to 100 autospins.
Features
If you liked Book of Ra because of its features…
…guess what? You will adore Book of Atem!
The book symbol has a double function. First, it acts as the Wild. Land it anywhere on the grid and it will replace symbols to form a winning combination.
The cool thing is that the book symbol also pays. Get 5 of these and you will be awarded 200x bet.
Not bad, huh? Wait, there’s more!
By landing 3 or more scatters, you will get 10 free spins…
…where things are getting even more interesting!
The game will pick a random symbol that will get a special expanding ability. To clarify, the random symbol will fill the entire reel it landed on.
The catch is to get these on all 5 reels to boost up your winnings.
To Conclude
Despite the fact that some of you will certainly emphasize the lack of originality of this game and the fact that there isn’t anything revolutionary in terms of content, Book of Atem is more than interesting release.
It's amazing graphics, above-average RTP and an amazing maximum win of 125.000,00 coins are the reasons why you should try it.
Considering that this is only the 4th release of All41 Studios, we must wish them the best of luck in filling their slot catalog.
