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

During Free Games, a special symbol is selected and can expand on the reels to help form larger payouts. This mechanic is familiar to fans of Book slots, but in Book of 8 Riches it is combined with the 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.

Collection Meter is linked to green and golden orbs. Green orbs help fill the meter, while golden orbs move the player closer to Super Jackpot Mania. After entering Jackpot Mania, Hold and Respins begins, where the player collects prize symbols and can unlock additional winning potential.

Jackpot Mania makes the game more feature-rich than a standard Book-style slot. Books and Free Spins matter, but so does collecting orbs, meaning every spin can contribute towards the additional bonus feature.
