The Book symbol performs two roles. 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. It can expand on the reels and help form larger payouts. This mechanic is familiar to fans of Book slots, but in Book of 8 Riches it is supplemented 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 where the selected symbol can expand and create additional combinations on active paylines.

The Collection Meter is linked to green and golden orbs. Green orbs help fill the meter, while golden orbs bring the player closer to Super Jackpot Mania. After Jackpot Mania is activated, the game switches to a Hold and Respins format where prize symbols are collected and may unlock additional win potential.

Jackpot Mania makes the game more varied than a standard Book-style slot. Books and free spins are not the only important elements: collecting orbs also matters, so every spin can contribute to progress towards the extra bonus feature.

Theme and style

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

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