Book of Captain Silver Review

The first Book slot attempt from All41, Book of Atem, was less than memorable because it lacked anything that made it stick out. Later came Book of Atem WowPot, which implemented the Microgaming jackpot system. Book of Captain Silver is the crafty studio's third effort with the wildly popular mechanic, and it comes with a jackpot system of its own.

The expanding symbol bonus round is done 100 % “by the book” (bad pun, we know), but the pirate theme still makes this installment stick out in a positive way. Loyal and/or patient players are rewarded via the scatter/wild collection system, as this is how you’ll eventually trigger the Captain’s Wheel Jackpot feature. The chance to win a 10,000x jackpot certainly adds to the tension, and the biggest drawback here is the customizable RTP ranges.

Book of Captain Silver Features

The Book symbol is both the wild and the scatter, as is often the case in these types of games, and as a wild it steps in for all regular pay symbols to help you form winning combinations. As a scatter however, it triggers the bonus round whenever 3, 4 or 5 books are present on the same spin. This awards a scatter win of 2x, 20x or 200x your stake up front, respectively.

You are then granted 10 free spins, and as usual, the Book opens up so the special expanding symbol can be selected randomly.

The chosen symbol expands to fill the whole reel whenever enough land to generate a winning combo, and it does not need to land adjacent to create a win. The expanding symbol wins are always paid after the regular payouts.

Whenever you land wild/scatters in the base game, these are collected in the treasure chest you see below the reels. This slowly, but steadily, increases your chances of triggering the Captain’s Wheel Jackpot Bonus Game. The Jackpot Wheel spins once, and you will win a jackpot worth 15x, 50x, 500x or 10,000x your stake. These are the Mini, Minor, Major and Mega jackpots you see on the left-hand side.

Review Summary

The pirate theme makes Book of Captain Silver stick out from the endless Egyptian tomb spinoffs, which is a refreshing touch from All41 Studios. They have not taken any chances with the ‘book of’ mechanic bonus round however, which might disappoint some players. Still, you can win up to 5,000x your stake on a single lucky spin here, which is the big attraction most ‘book slots’ are touting.

In addition, Book of Captain Silver comes with the Captain’s Wheel Jackpot feature, but don’t expect this one to trigger all that often. It’s better to see it as more of an ‘extra bonus’, potentially rewarding players for staying the course for a longer session. It gives you the possibility to win twice what’s become the ‘standard’ max win in the ‘book of’ genre though, which might convince some to try their luck here, instead of in the countless alternatives out there.

Pros

• Scatter/wild collection system
• Increase jackpot feature chances
• Win up to 10,000x jackpots
• ‘Book of’ mechanic bonus round
• Win up to 5,000x on a single spin

Cons

• Beware of adjustable RTP ranges
