Book of Gold Classic

The sun shines bright above the pyramids who have been dominating the desert for thousands of years now, while you prepare to delve deep into the secrets of the Book of Gold. That’s probably how this game would be presented in a movie trailer, trying to make it sound more glorious than it actually is. 

Book of Gold: Classic is a sequel to other games designed by the developers at Playson, it’s even quite difficult to keep track of all the titles in the series because there have been quite a few. However, that doesn’t mean this slot can’t be a really good one, let’s see! 

Theme

The reels are placed just in front of those pyramids I was mentioning earlier, and they look identical to what we saw in Book of Gold: Double Chance. The symbols are all related to Ancient Egypt, but we do have card royals from Ace to ten as well. 

The graphics are a bit plain and the animations basic at best, but overall the screen does look quite pleasant when you open the game. The background music is not bad, adding some depth and a nice mysterious vibe to the gameplay. 

Betting Options and Functions

This slot is played on 5 reels and 3 rows, with 10 fixed paylines. It pays only from left to right, but you will be able to form winning combinations with just two high-value symbols on adjacent reels. 

The betting range is wide enough to accommodate all types of players, starting as low as 10 cents per spin and going up to 100 euros. This title has high volatility, while the return to player percentage is 95.94. The biggest win you can land in this game is worth 6,156 times the stake. 

Features

The item you are looking for in this adventure is, obviously, the Book of Gold. That shiny symbol is the Scatter in this game, and when you get at least three anywhere on the screen you will receive 10 Free Spins in addition to a cash prize. 

The Book of Gold symbol remains very important during the free rolls round, if you get another three on screen then the number of free spins will increase by another ten! Moreover, during the free spins the Scatter will also act as Wild, replacing any of the other icons. 

There’s also a Special Expanding Symbol in the game, this one can trigger randomly either in the base game or during free spins. When it does, you will see a single symbol fill up an entire reel, leading to potentially spectacular wins. 

Conclusion

Book of Gold: Classic is an enjoyable video slot from Malta-based company Playson, it is quite simple and plain but on the other hand it does offer solid gameplay and pretty big prizes overall.

It is true that it’s the sequel of a sequel and not the most original product out there, but other than that it doesn’t have any major flaws. If you are a fan of games based on the Ancient Egypt theme, then you surely will find better titles. 

However, if you are just looking for some simple and straightforward reel-spinning fun, then this game is surely worth a look.
