About Book of Pharaon
WorldMatch’s Book of Pharaon has a title that sounds like many other ancient Egyptian-themed slots out there. However, it should not be confused for them. This is a game that is considerably more basic than its counterparts, both in terms of graphics and gameplay. WM’s slot is not your run of the mill book slot, either. This one can be played with anything from one to fifty paylines, up to five times more than its rivals. Stakes can rise from 0.01 per line up to 100.00 a spin because of that. Regrettably, prizes aren’t much different than you can expect to see in this game’s counterparts, at 5,000x a bet. The non-progressive slot is, perhaps, not as highly volatile as some of the other games out there, but it doesn’t have an RTP that is as generous as those titles, either. The result is that Book of Pharaon is something of a mixed bag of a slot release.
Special Features
Like all book slots, this game utilises two symbols to provide the fun. That doesn’t mean to say that the Tutankhamun, Anubis, and Eye of Horus symbols aren’t decent – they are, and they pay well – it is just that they don’t trigger features.
Most book slots feature a scatter wild. Book of Pharaon does not, which means that this isn’t a true book slot. Instead, it uses a purple cartouche (with wild written inside it) as a wild, and that symbol can replace all barring scatters. Those scatters appear as the Book of Pharaon and can trigger a free spin round.
Bonus Feature
Three or more scattered books activates this feature, and you’ll pocket scattered cash prizes for your efforts. Once the bonus begins, you can click on a scattered book to win several spins. Be careful here, as it is possible to win none – that is rather shocking stuff from WorldMatch and won’t win the provider any fans in the casino world. During the round, there is no expanding special symbol, although there is a 3x multiplier.
As you can see, there isn’t much about this so-called book slot that fits the bill. Most book slots adhere to a tried and tested structure, and apart from using a book as a scatter, WM’s effort falls woefully short. It is not something that you’re going to be interested in if you’d already played Book of Ra, Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead and other book slot hits.
