We’re quite used to seeing Egyptian themed “Book of” games but who said that the Asian touch is out of the question?
Mascot Gaming introduces The Book of Amaterasu online slot with exactly that. We’re about to meet the great and glorious Goddess of Sun and with the help of the Mystery Book enjoy a round of Free Spins with a Special Expanding Symbol!
Theme and Symbols
The Book of Amaterasu is an online video slot designed and brought to you by Mascot Gaming content provider. The title is done in a “Book of” style and comes with Asian theme, more specifically Japanese.
A breathtaking background appears in front of us on our screens with shades of blue and purple all over. There are traditional Japanese pagodas far in the distance, lotus flowers hanging from both sides of the screen as well as the river of life on the left.
The whole atmosphere of the game is fulfilled by the calming and pleasant soundtrack that spins endlessly in the background. The pay table comes with images such as Amaterasu, the Goddess herself, Stuffed Cat, Cat Mask, Lotus Flower and Chinese Lucky Coin.
These are all premiums while the bottom of the same is filled with A, K, Q and J royals. The Book is the Mystery Symbol and serves as both Wild and Scatter.
Betting Options and Features
5 reels, 3 rows and 10 pay lines is all it takes to create an enjoyable experience in The Book of Amaterasu online slot. The winning combinations require 3 or more matching icons from left to right.
The betting range provided goes from the least betting amount per spin of £0,20 and a maximum of £20,00. The game’s best odds are slightly below average, being 95% while the hit frequency is 28,9%.
The title is of medium volatility and can be played across all of your devices, including mobile gadgets thanks to the HTML5 technology that has been used in design by Mascot Gaming.
Free Spins - 3, 4 or 5 Mystery Scatters award 10, 15 or 20 spins free of charge respectively. Before the feature itself starts, one randomly selected symbol will become chosen as a Special Expanding and will expand to cover the whole reel upon partaking in a winning combination.
The feature is retriggerable by landing 3, 4 or 5 additional Scatters.
Risk’N’Buy Feature - this feature is offered to players in the base game after each spin, regardless of it being a win or not. You can either risk the current winnings and go straight into the Free Spins round with a suggested Special Expanding Symbol or Buy the feature.
Wrapping Up
There’s something about The Book of Amaterasu that simply soothes and calms the atmosphere while also providing a typical “Book of” gameplay experience. The only issue we managed to find out is the below average RTP of 95%.
If you can manage to look past that, you’re looking at a highly satisfying online edition and we think that Mascot Gaming did an incredible job. Moreover, make sure to check out the rest of Mascot Gaming’s online slots for more innovative games.
