Book of Fire Review

Since the release of the legendary Book of Ra, probably every single game provider attempted to follow the same success formula, bringing their own ‘book’ games to the online slots world. However, they rarely differ from each other in terms of gameplay and features, and this is also the case with the Book of Fire slot by Edict, which hardly offers any surprises.

The actions of the Book of Fire slot take place in some kind of an alchemical laboratory, where the wise sorcerer is trying to master the fire element. In the center is sitting a traditional 5x3 reel setup producing 10 ways to play on each spin. In true Edict’s fashion, there’s a strong retro feel to the game, although it doesn’t look bad. Overall, the visual appearance is rather nice, yet it surely lacks originality.

The Book of Fire slot has a betting range of €0.1 to €20 per spin. As for the stats, Edict has kept everything in the average range for the genre. The volatility is high, and the RTP is a whisker above the standard value at 96.02%.

The max win doesn’t stand out either, clocking in at 5,000x the bet.

Nine regular symbols make up the paytable, divided into highs and lows. On the lower side, we see classic A-J card rank symbols, and the higher lot is made up of magician’s notes, potions, owls, and the wizard himself. All low symbols create winning combinations when at least 3 of the same kind land adjacently starting from the leftmost reel, and the premiums pay from two-of-a-kind and more. Five-of-a-kind low symbol wins are worth from 10x to 15x your bet, and the premiums pay from 75x to 500x your bet for five-symbol combos.

Book of Fire Slot Features

In accordance with the genre, book symbols are both Wild and Scatter. They can appear on all reels to substitute for any other regular symbols in winning combinations, plus they trigger the Free Spins feature whenever at least 3 appear in view.

Landing 3, 4, or 5 book symbols award 10 free games, as well as awards a fixed cash prize of 2x, 20x, or 200x the bet.

At the beginning of the bonus game, a special expanding symbol is chosen randomly among the regular symbols. During the feature, special symbols expand over the reels, covering 3 positions in height, and pay across all 10 win lines, even when landing non-adjacent reels. When 3 or more Scatters appear simultaneously during the free spins, a retrigger is awarded, giving +10 extra spins. However, a new special symbol is not granted.

Last but not least is the Gamble feature, offered after every win you score during the base game. Players can choose between a Card Gamble or a Ladder Gamble and risk their current winnings for a chance to increase the amount.

Review Summary

At the end of the day, Book of Fire is quite a typical ‘book’ game, with no extra features to enliven the gameplay. The theme and math are not surprising as well, yet there’s still entertainment to be found for players who can’t get enough of ‘book’ mechanics.

Pros

• Free Spins with expanding symbols
• Well-balanced math

Cons

• Extremely formulaic
