Book of Fallen Slot Information

The game's design features an Egyptian theme, where we join the legendary John Hunter in his search for the Book of Fallen, which is said to hold answers for wealth. In the background of the reels, you can see an illuminated room, where pillars are lined up and the walls are adorned with Egyptian hieroglyphs. You can play Book of Fallen on all the device’s mobiles, notepads and desktops. You create a winning combination by landing 3 or more of the same symbol types on adjacent positions starting from the leftmost position.

The lower paying symbols are 10, J, Q, K and A. Landing 5 of the same symbol type pays between 10X to 15X the bet. The higher paying symbols are Ankh, Anubis, Pharaoh and John Hunter himself. If you land 5 of the same symbol types, it pays between 75X to 500X the bet. These higher paying symbols pay out already at 2 of the same symbol types. The Book showing the Horus eye is both the game's scatter symbol and wild symbol, with 5 of it paying 200X the bet. Let's find out what the features do.

Book of Fallen Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Book of Fallen?

You can win up to 5000X the bet.

What features are available in the slot Book of Fallen?

The features are Wild Symbol, Free Spins, Super Spin Ante Bet and Bonus Buy.

Wild Symbol

The game's scatter symbol is also the wild symbol, where it helps to create more winning combinations by substituting for other symbols on the reels. If you land 3, 4 or 5 wild symbols it pays 2X, 20X and 200X the bet respectively.

Free Spins

If you land 3 or more scatter symbols, the Free Spins feature is activated. You will then be greeted with 10 free spins and then you will get to choose a special expanding symbol. You can choose from all paying symbols, with the higher paying ones landing less frequently but paying significantly more than the lower paying ones.

If you land the right amount required to create a win with the selected special expanding symbol, they will expand to cover the reels. This results in multiple winning combinations and the symbols do not need to be on adjacent reels, just the right amount is required for them to be activated. If you land 3 or more scatter symbols during the spins, you will receive 10 extra free spins and there is no limit to how many you can receive. When you retrigger the feature, your previously selected special expanding symbol is reused.

Super Spin Ante Bet

By making a payment of 10X the bet, the Super Spin Ante Bet feature can be activated. You will then select a special expanding symbol and receive 1 spin where the same conditions apply as in the Free Spins feature. When you create a win, it is based on 1X and not your 10X bet.

Bonus Buy

If you want to take advantage of the Free Spins feature right away, you can use the Bonus Buy feature. You pay 100X the bet and then the bonus game is activated, where you are welcomed with 10 free spins.

Book of Fallen Slot Conclusion

If there's one thing for sure, it's that if you like Egyptian themes and slots with special expanding symbols, you're in luck, because there's a huge amount of them that have been created over the years, including the classic Book of Dead. Pragmatic Play has used this theme with this expanding feature before, so it was very interesting to find out what they had cooked up this time that could set them apart. This is a slot where they have polished up the environment and the design of the symbols, where a generous payment has been awarded to them. During the spin within the base game, you can create decent wins using the wild scatter symbols and thanks to the higher paying symbols giving wins already when 2 have landed.

By landing 3 or more scatter symbols, the highlight of the game begins, namely the Free Spins feature with expanding symbols. At the entrance you are welcomed with 10 free spins and then you can choose which special expanding symbol you want to have which gives a nice touch to the game. Either you choose a lower paying symbol that theoretically lands more frequently, or you bet on one of the higher paying ones that can give really festive wins when they land as special expanding symbols. Much is the same as in the previous versions, but since the game clearly revolves around the bonus game, 2 features have been added to make it easier to activate. You can choose to make a bonus buy of 100X, which directly activates the bonus game, or you can use the Super Spin Ante Bet, which for a payment of 10X, gives the player the opportunity to select a special expanding symbol that is activated on every Super Spin that is made.

It provides a very familiar gaming experience, where most things are the same but where small but very essential upgrades have taken place that give an extra boost to the gaming experience. They have added a good size to the RTP which is higher than average, but since this can vary, the playing conditions can quickly change if any lower is used. The potential maximum win is again 5000X, which is good, but it would be nice if we could start to see Pragmatic Play take the leap and increase it further within their game creation. All in all, it's a slot that offers spins with well-used features and theme, where much is the same but small adding features give the main special expanding symbols an extra boost, making up for an enjoyable gaming experience in the end.

Book of Fallen is a slot where along with the adventurer John Hunter and a bonus game containing special expanding symbols, we can once again scoop up big wins.
