Book of Doom

When Book of Ra was announced and released back in 2004, the guys from Novomatic could not even imagine how much it would affect the course of the industry’s development.

Thanks to this legendary title, we got a whole new subgenre of oriental video slots which, in most cases, contain the same mechanics and options as the first one. 

Book of Doom is another Egyptian-themed video slot introduced by Belatra Games software provider and played on a commonly used 5x3 grid with 10 active paylines. 

As far as available features are concerned, you can expect Wilds, scatters, Free Spins, 2 gamble features, and Expanding Symbols. 

Finally, we should mention the title’s high volatility which is paired with a maximum win of 500x the bet. 

Let’s Check Out the Theme and Symbols Shall we?

Despite the fact that we’re in Egypt again, we must admit that Book of Doom brings a bit of refreshment in the genre. For a change, we will not be placed inside a temple or pharaoh’s tomb, but on distant dunes with a beautiful view of the Valley of Kings. 

If we take a closer look at the bottom of the paytable, we’ll find low-paying royals (10-A) worth up to 15x the bet for a combination of 5. Scarabs, Anubis, Cleopatra, and archeologist are the premiums here and you can win up to 500x the bet for 5 of a kind. 

As always, the book symbol has triple function. It will substitute all regular symbols, activate bonus features and act as the most lucrative symbol in the game. 

We should not forget that the title is fully optimized and highly responsive, meaning that you’ll be able to spin these reels even on your mobile devices. 

How Much Can We Bet?

As we already mentioned, this one-armed bandit comes with a standard grid setting – 5 reels, 3 rows, and 10 active paylines, meaning that you’ll be able to change the number of lines in a play. 

The minimum available bet is set at 1 coin and you can go all the way up to 100 coins per spin. 

The theoretical return to player (RTP) hasn’t been announced yet, but we expect it to be around 96%. 

As was the case with most of similar releases, Book of Doom features high volatility, which means that lower wins won’t be so frequent. 

Finally, you’ll have an auto start and turbo option at your disposal, as well. 

And What About Special Features?

As you already noticed, the book is the most important symbol in the game. It will act as a Wild and will replace all other symbols (except the scatter) to help you form even more winning combinations. 

By landing 3 scatters anywhere on the grid, you’ll trigger the Free Games feature and get 10 free spins. The good news is that the feature can be re-triggered by landing additional scatters. 

But, there’s more! During the feature, one regular symbol will become a super symbol and cover the reel. 

To get in the Wheel of Fortune feature, you’ll need to collect at least 1000 JP points. It’s crucial to realize that the bet value and coin denomination determine the speed of accumulation, so bet wisely. 

Also, you’ll be able to double or quadruple your winnings in the Gamble Feature. All you’ll need to do is to beat the dealer’s card, or to guess the next card’s color or suit.

Let’s Wrap It Up, Shall We?

As you can see, Book of Doom is another highly interesting and rewarding video slot by Belatra Games. A plenty of available features is paired with stunning design, and there’s no doubt that every fan of the genre will enjoy it!
