Book of Riches

If there’s one theme that’s popular with online slots, it’s ancient Egyptian temples. There’s something about buried treasure that goes well with slots. Despite the somewhat unoriginal theme, though, Book of Riches by RubyPlay still has something to offer. It features a 5×3 reel grid and 10 paylines, which is a bit low for this kind of slot. This is why the Book of Riches slot game is at a medium level of volatility. Don’t worry though – it just means that the payouts are bigger if you win.

The first thing you notice is that this title’s visuals are a cut above your average video slots. The symbols feature all the usual objects we’ve come to expect from the Egyptian theme. These include stylized letters for the low-value ones, statues, gems, artefacts, and a dashingly roguish protagonist. The overall interface design works quite well with the theme.

You can find all the necessary functions at the bottom of the screen. Besides the typical spin button, you can also find a highly customizable auto-play feature. Autoplay can go up to a whopping 500 spins, and you can set up limits. Turbo mode is also available to shorten the spinning animations.

Other features include an information screen, full-screen mode, and volume controls.

Though there is a free demo available, playing Book of Riches for real money has some limits. Namely, the $50 max bet is enough for most players, but some prefer higher options.

The standard symbols and their corresponding payouts won’t be surprising to most experienced slots players.  If you truly want to win big with RubyPlay Book of Riches, though, you’ll need the multipliers. These can be secured by getting 3 or more Scatter/Wild symbols and can multiply your returns by up to 200x.

When it comes to the standard symbols, there are 9 of them in total. The small-paying ones are stylized playing card symbols, ranging from 10 to Ace. The more interesting ones are centered on the Egyptian theme, and include golden scarabs, cats, and statues.

Book of Riches slots is fairly volatile, which often implies several special symbols. Let’s go over what each one does.

• Scatter/Wilds – The eponymous Book of Riches is a Wild symbol and can substitute any symbol.
• Growing Symbol – Any symbol can appear gold if you’re lucky. If this happens, the symbol will expand to fill the reel it’s on after the spin is evaluated. These can also pay anywhere on the table and don’t need to be on the first reel.

These symbols are also tied to several mechanics. If you want to know how to play Book of Riches, you’ll need to understand what’s going on.

• It’s worth mentioning that Wilds cannot replace glowing symbols. However, it’s possible to trigger more free spins during free spin mode. That way, you can keep the wins coming for quite a while.
