Book of Hidden Tombs

Anyone who has followed Lara Croft into an ancient tomb knows that finding the entrance is only the beginning. Somewhere inside, a missing clue completes the picture. The Book of Hidden Tombs asks the same irresistible question: where is the treasure?

BGaming's answer appears to be: certainly not somewhere obvious.

The game has a 97% RTP. Bets range from 0.10 all the way to 25 FUN per round, welcoming every playing style. The maximum win reaches 10,000x the bet, capped at €250,000. 

The tomb is mobile-friendly too, opening just as easily on smartphones and tablets as it does on desktop, which is considerably more convenient than carrying an ancient temple around with you. 

This online slot combines a high volatility with 10 paylines. (find out more about volatility HERE)

Quick Spin and Autospins are available, while music and sound can be adjusted for anyone who prefers their archaeological expeditions with slightly less dramatic accompaniment. A certified RNG handles the results, so sadly, staring suspiciously at the Eye of Horus will not reveal the next one.

Theme and Symbols

The search begins beneath a star-filled sky, with an ancient temple standing beyond the reels and torches burning nearby. Egyptian gods, jewel-toned symbols and the watchful Eye of Horus make it clear that whatever is hidden here has been hidden for quite some time. The tomb may be ancient, but the images do not reflect that. They are sharp with clean design, and elegant animations provide the familiar Egyptian world a very modern look.

The game has an appealing Book Of format. ( discover more about best Book of Slots HERE)

The Book supposedly contains the location of the treasure and doubles as both WildandScatter. It substitutes for regular symbols when completing wins, while 3 or more Books open the Free Spins round.

A treasure map that also completes paylines is unusually considerate.

Betting Options and Special Features

Regular Free Spins begin with 10 spins, but first the game secretly chooses one non-Scatter symbol to become the Golden Expanding symbol. Land enough copies of it, either 2 or 3 depending on the symbol, and they expand over their reels, paying across all 10 lines regardless of position. Three more Books retrigger the feature with another 10 spins. (more about Free Spins HERE)

Then Super Free Spins introduce the game's cleverest secret.

The progressive multiplier begins at 1x. No win? 2x. Still nothing? 4x.

Another empty search can take it to 8x, and the process can continue until the multiplier reaches 512x. When a win finally appears, whatever multiplier has accumulated applies to it before resetting.

Most slots want you to forget a missed spin immediately. The Book of Hidden Tombs, however, reminds you to take another look.

The Collector can take you to Super Free Spins, and you can also access both bonus rounds directly from the Buy Bonus. Chance 2x barely increases the bet in return for doubling the chance of triggering Free Spins naturally.

Conclusion

This online slot knows that the Egyptian Book formula is hardly buried knowledge. Books, expanding symbols, gods and treasure have been excavated by slot players many times before.

Compared to many BGaming previous releases, this title hides something different inside the familiar structure.

Regular Free Spins ask which symbol will turn Golden. Super Free Spins make the missing piece even more interesting, because a spin that finds nothing can leave behind a larger multiplier for the search that follows.

Treasure is rarely waiting behind the first door.

Sometimes you find another clue. Sometimes you find nothing. And sometimes finding nothing makes you considerably more interested in opening the next one.

As for where the treasure actually is? Well, if we knew that, we'd need a much smaller brush.
