Players on the lookout for the best online slots will want to pay close attention to Golden Book, a glamorous, South Asian title from Austria-based Amatic Industries.
With Taj Mahal and wild tigers as the backdrop, you may find your wish granted by the power of this magic book, which reveals Bonusspins and potentially big wins.
Theme
India doesn’t get a lot of love from online slot designers, which is a pity…
… besides a bright culture practically bursting with legends, fables, and spiritual traditions that would lend themselves well to gaming, the land boasts a population over 1.3 billion! One would think that designers would want to appeal to this massive slice of the market.
That’s exactly what Amatic has done here. The lovely visuals feature a gorgeous, love-struck pair, Bengali tigers, the stunning Taj Mahal, and (on a somewhat more modern note) a luxurious private yacht. It’s a sumptuous feast for the eyes.
A green wild symbol appears on all reels, substituting for other symbols to form winning combinations.
The most important gaming symbol, however…
is the golden book scatter symbol, which gives this slot its title. This pays in any position, regardless of where it appears on the reels, while also opening the way to the Bonusspins feature.
Betting Options and Functions
Instead of along traditional paylines, wins are awarded for any set of identical symbols across three or more adjacent reels from left to right. Thanks to the title’s unique 4/3/4/3/4 reel structure, this yields 576 ways to win.
Bet is set simply from 10–1000 coins. Autoplay is available as a simple on/off toggle, though players should use caution, as there are no loss limits available.
Player options, payline information, game rules, and more are available via an expanding menu at the upper right corner of the game screen. The overall theoretical return to player ratio is above-average at 96%.

Our Take
Amatic has been a fixture in the online slot landscape since its founding in 1994, but this designer has never quite achieved the notoriety of some older companies such as NetEnt and IGT. This is partially because the company focus on table games over slots.
Golden Book, however, demonstrates that this excellent designer has video slot bona fides to burn. Serious gamblers won’t want to miss out on this gorgeous game.
