The Book symbol serves two roles at once. In the base game it substitutes for other symbols as a Wild, while landing 3 or more Books triggers Free Games. This makes the book a key element in both regular spins and the bonus mode.

During Free Games, a special symbol is selected and can expand on the reels to help create larger payouts. This mechanic is familiar to fans of Book slots, but in Book of 8 Riches it is complemented by an orb system and Jackpot Mania.

Bonus features

Free Games are the main bonus mode. Once triggered, the player receives a series of free spins in which the selected symbol can expand and create additional combinations on active paylines.

Collection Meter is linked to green and golden orbs. Green orbs help fill the meter, while golden orbs move the player closer to activating Super Jackpot Mania. Once Jackpot Mania begins, a Hold and Respins format is used, allowing the player to collect prize symbols and unlock additional win potential.

Jackpot Mania makes the game more feature-rich than a standard Book-style slot. Books and free spins are not the only important elements; orb collection also matters, so each spin can contribute to progress toward an additional bonus feature.

Theme and style

The slot uses an Egyptian adventure style. The reels feature a pharaoh, queen, scarab, artefacts, book, orbs and card symbols. Book of 8 Riches belongs to the categories: Egyptian slots, Book slots, video slots.

The visual design combines gold shades, sandy backgrounds, ancient symbols and the atmosphere of a treasure hunt. The classic 5×3 grid keeps the game easy to understand, while Jackpot Mania adds a modern bonus layer.
