Book of Magic

One might say that Book of Magic from EGT Interactive is yet another cliché slot dealing with the realm of magic. The graphics is mediocre, the soundtrack - average, and the overall impression, at a glance - trivial. That is if flashy CGI is your first priority. In our experience, however, players are more interested in big wins than in visuals. In that regard, the Book of Magic slot does have a thing or two to offer. For starters, there is one of those EGT’s famous jackpots to consider!

Theme

Book of Magic? Seriously? What the heck does anyone expect is to spring to mind first? The theme has seeped into all industries, genres, and sub-genres. Mildly put! Witches, wizards, necromancers, druids, and clairvoyants are so commonplace that one more slot dealing with just any of them seems like a waste of time. Unless there is a monetary value in it, it would seem. And in this case, there certainly is.

In all fairness, both the slot and the gameplay are plausible. All the expected buttons and symbols are there, no mistake about that! Book of Magic might not be particularly spectacular, but neither are other slots dealing with the topic.

Betting Options and Other Functions

Book of Magic is a 5-reel, 20-payline game. The coin size is fixed ($1); the maximum number of multiple coins stands at 20. Bet values per spin: 20, 40, 100, 200, or 400. The RTP stands at 96.09%.

The symbols showcase a wizard, his staff (presumably), a sorceress, a chest, and the unavoidable royal suit. All wins pay from left to right.

Features

The spellbook is the game’s wild. It substitutes for any symbol, except for the scatter (the crystal ball). On top of that, the spellbook also doubles all winning combinations it has helped form. Lining up 5 of the wilds on an active payline will win you a 10,000 coin jackpot.

Scoring 3 or more scatters will trigger the bonus (15 free spins at a 3x multiplier). The feature can be re-triggered. If you manage to line up at least 3 scatters during this round, you’ll get 15 additional spins.

Wins up to 700 coins can be increased. Book of Magic features the Gamble option, which works in the same way it does elsewhere. Simply predict the winning color (red or black). Should you succeed, your win will double. Should you fail, it will go down the drain. You can stop the winning streak at any time by clicking the “Collect” button. Easy-peasy!

The Jackpot Cards Bonus:

We’ve left the best for the last (suspense, suspense!). As pretty much every gambler knows, EGT’s jackpots can easily go through the roof. The Jackpot Cards Mystery bonus is triggered at random. You’ll get to choose three out of twelve cards until 3 matching card suit symbols are revealed. The reward corresponds to the suit.

Our Take

Like most of the EGT’s products, Book of Magic is praised for its surprise jackpots and the gamble feature. If you find yourself intrigued by wizardry, this slot might be a better choice than other similar ones. No harm in giving it a free spin, so there!
