Ramses Book Slot

Merkur Gaming and Gamomat join forces to provide an epic slot game that brings the magic of Egypt to the small screen across all platforms. Ramses Book slot calls on the player to become an adventurer, with the offer of riches up to 5,000x bet presented. Features in the game include 2 different gamble features and a free spins game that contains special bonus symbols.

Theme, Soundtrack and Symbols

Ramses Book is an excellent Egyptian themed slot title that offers the full package of visuals, sounds, and features.

The reels are set in the depths of a tomb, lit by golden torchlight. Each roller is designed to look like papyrus, which produces a beautiful background for the colourful and well-designed game symbols to rest on.

The game sounds are true to titles that you might find on actual casino floors. The effects are generic and arcade-like. Once wins are made, or when you trigger the main bonus feature, a high tempo Eastern soundtrack kicks into place to support the game theme.

The reel symbols are, no doubt the focus of the game. Each of these is well designed in good detail. While the lower-paying symbols are card suite icons (hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades), the higher paying symbols include thematic images, such as a Pharaoh, an engraved Obelisk, Cat Statues, an Idol of Ra, and a Lotus Flower.

The Wild and the Scatter are the same symbols. The Ramses Book represents them. The symbol will substitute for all game icons to help create winning combos, as well as triggering the main feature if it lands in threes.

Game Mechanics

Ramses Book is played over 5 reels with 3 rows of icons per reel. This casino game offers the option of adjusting the paylines to number out over the reels at either 5 or 10 lines. To play the game, you will have to place a bet in accordance with the number of lines you would like to play. The total wager varies between €0.05 and €100 per spin.

To land wins, you will need to land three or more matching symbols across one of the paylines from the left-most reel to the right. The symbols must lie on adjacent reels as well. 5 symbols will pay out Big Wins, especially if they include 5 Pharaoh icons. In this case, you will be rewarded with a payout of 5,000x your line stake (500x total bet). This means that you have the opportunity of winning up to €50,000 on a single spin if you are betting at the maximum bet.

Special Features

This slot title boasts only one bonus round and two distinct gamble feature options. The free spin bonus is where you can make most of the big wins.

Free Spin Bonus Round

To trigger the round, you will need to land 3 or more scatter symbols on the screen. This will invite an instant crescendo in the music and reward you with 10 free games to boot.

Before the game feature starts, the pages of the Ramses Book will flip open to present one of the game symbols at random. That particular symbol will become the bonus symbol for the round. Each time two or more of them land on the reels, they will expand to cover the reels in hopes of landing big rewards.

Hold thumbs for more scatter wild symbols on the reels, because 3 or more landed during the feature will re-trigger the round for added winning chances.

Gamble Features

Any smaller win can be subjected to the gamble feature in hopes of doubling up on your haul. Press the icon that looks like a hand of cards for the red or black gamble game, or the ladder looking symbol for the gamble ladder.

• Red or Black: Here, you will need to guess the colour of the face-down card (red or black). Should you choose incorrectly, you will lose the win amount, but if you want correctly, you will double your win.
  
  
• Gamble Ladder: You will be faced with a ladder holding many cash amounts listed on it. Two amounts (one higher and one lower) will begin to flash alternatively. You can opt to gamble your win and hope that you land the higher of the two amounts.
  
  The machine will randomly select one of the wins for you. While two icons with cash awards on them do not present a massive risk, sometimes the ladder will flash between a win amount and a ‘0’ amount. Should you land on ‘0’, you will lose your win and the feature will end.

Play ‘On The Go’

Ramses Book has now produced especially for touch play on mobile devices thanks to HTML 5 software. This means that the game can be played on most Android and iOS phones direct from the browser without the need for apps and downloads.

The beauty of HTML 5 is that the game will lose none of the visuals, sounds, or features quality seen on the desktop derivative. Only the controls will be modified for better integration on a smaller screen and easy access for thumb play.

CasinoWow Game Verdict

This game shares the same engine as several other games by Merkur Gaming. However, it is still a treat to play. The medium game variance and RTP of 96.15% are sure to work in your favour at some time and could see you land some perfect wins.

All Egypt slot enthusiasts may find this game of interest. Be sure to see the game out until you trigger the main feature, as the free spins have a knack of topping up your bankroll nicely.
