Best 'Book Of' Slots
One of the most popular slot series is those adopting the ‘Book of’ title.
In this guide, we will cover all the best ‘Book of’ slots that you can find and play here at Pink Casino, giving you everything you need to know before deciding on the right ‘Book of’ slot.
What are Book of Slots?
Themes make games and it’s no surprise that some of the most popular examples make use of iconography associated with popular culture of the 20th and 21st centuries. The Book of series is no different, using the furore around movies such as Indiana Jones. These games follow an adventurer, explorer or tomb raider as they go in search of some of ancient history’s most mysterious mythological artefacts. Each game in the series follows a different moment in history, following different archaeological discoveries.
What are the Features of Book of Slots?
Each game in the series will be somewhat different as some are even deluxe slots. However, they include all the main features that you would expect from high-quality slot games. They’re all underpinned by the standard form of a grid made up of reels and rows but do introduce extra bonus features that will largely hinge on the theme in question. Expect to see expanding symbols, free spins, and even progressive jackpots that build every time someone plays and doesn’t win. All the best slot features can be found in this series, especially given the sheer number of titles available.
Top Book of Slots
We have already alluded to the fact that there are many different entries to the ‘Book of’ series of games, so it will come as no surprise that there are some great ones to choose from. Here you’ll find some of the most successful and critically acclaimed ‘Book of’ games.
Book of Ra
Starting with the game that kicked the series off, the Book of Ra has become a cornerstone of slot gaming. It’s a five-reel slot that is, as you can probably tell from the title, set in Egypt with a focus on the mythology of the ancient civilisation. It first appeared back in 2005 and has gone on to establish a timeless franchise. It has spawned a number of variants, but the base game offers players both a free spins feature and a gamble option that allows them to stake their winnings for a chance to multiply them.
Book of Dead
This is probably the slot that most will think of when they talk about the series. Known in full as Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead, it set the high standards that subsequent titles have come to define. It includes a free spins feature with expanding symbols that is triggered by the titular book scatters and sees random symbols grow to cover a number of positions on the reels and potentially maximise winnings. It is also one of the first games in the series to make the most of a connected progressive jackpot.
Book of Fate
Another game that is set in Egypt, Book of Fate is one of the series’ most feature-packed entries. It includes the fairly standard free spins features for players to trigger. It is another title to offer a progressive jackpot, too.
Book of Maya
The first in our list not to be Egypt-based, the Book of Maya slot game is, as the title suggests, set in the mysterious Maya civilization. With all of the features that players have come to expect from the top names from the series, not including the progressive jackpot element, it also employs a dynamic Wilds feature to add a little more uncertainty to the gameplay.
Book of Oz
You might be thinking that this game will be set Down Under. However, this slot is actually based on Frank Baum’s Wizard of Oz series. As well as being a progressive jackpot game, it also includes a respins feature that gives players with four symbols matched the chance to try once again to get a full payline.
More Book of Slots
You might have noticed that not all of the slots in the Book of series are explicitly linked. As the theme has grown, a number of developers have added their own entries to the series. It’s not just Rich Wilde and his search for the Book of the Dead. Instead, there are even titles in other series such as John Hunter and the Book of Tut that use similar titles to evoke the series’ air of quality.
