Book Of Horus

The Egyptian-themed sub-genre of online slots definitely has a lot of titles in it. Booongo's Book of Horus slot is another entry into this grouping, but it stands out right away as looking better and having a much stronger presentation than 95 percent or more of what you typically see. Along these lines, it also offers quite a bit on the gameplay side, and this is especially due to the combination wild and scatter symbol. This combination of a good aesthetic and fun gameplay with chances to win some pretty sizable static jackpots helps to create a balanced but action-filled experience for players.

Format and Layout

The layout of this game is set up in a way that gives players a number of ways to win on each spin without overwhelming you with too many paylines. Five reels and three rows make up the basic grid of symbols, and there are 10 lines that pay from left to right only. While you do have the ability to play with fewer than 10, it's best to keep that number at the maximum so that you have the best RTP percentage possible in this title.

Betting revolves around an option to increase the value of your coins from $0.01 to $5 apiece. This means betting goes from $0.10 to $50 per spin, and we think that most players will be able to find a bet size inside of that range that works for them and their bankroll.

Wild Scattered Book Symbols

The entire game centers around the book symbol, and that makes sense considering the book is the focus of the name of the game in the first place. This book is a wild, but it also acts as a scatter, and the payouts you get from each are calculated separately. It can be a little tricky to get the hang of at first, but let us explain.

First off, any line bet wins with the wilds are calculated. They can create their own winning combinations worth 5,000x for five of a kind, 1,000x for four, 100x for three and 10x for two, but that's as long as they show up from left to right on an activated payline. In this case, they count for the explorer symbol, and the best available individual payout on each line will be the one that counts.

However, after the line bet wins are calculated, the scatter payouts are calculated separately. They're also based on multiples of the entire wager instead of on line bet wagers. Five of a kind anywhere on the reels pays out 200x, which is like a 2,000x line bet win. You can also get scatter pays of 20x or 2x for four of a kind or two of a kind, respectively.

Free Spins With Special Expanding Symbols

When you land at least three of the books on the reels, you'll be taken to a free spins feature where you're get eight, 10 or 12 free spins for three, four or five scatters, respectively. You also have a chance to have a third scatter randomly added by Horus and his [apparently] laser vision if you just get two on the reels, which makes it easier to trigger the feature.

During this feature, a symbol is chosen at random to become stacked on all reels. This makes it much easier to get winning combinations, and it's definitely something that we like about this feature that makes it stand out from a lot of other free spins modes that can be a bit bland.

Wins and Prizes

The top payout is 5,000x for a line bet win of five wilds or for five of the explorer. You can win 2,000x for five of the sarcophagus (which is the same payout as five wilds as a scatter win) as well. The ankh can get players 750x, which is the same prize as five of the jackal symbol. These four symbols all pay for just two of a kind.

The lower tier of payouts starts at 150x for five of the yellow A or red K. You can make it 100x for five of a kind combinations of the green Q, blue J or purple 10 symbols as well.

Overview

We think that the Book of Horus slot by Booongo brings together a few different elements, including solid graphics and great gameplay, to give players an enjoyable overall experience. The combination wild and scatter is an especially fun part of the game as well.
