book of tut respin slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

I have already reviewed one game with an Ancient Egypt theme today, but despite that, I will try and stay objective as I review this one! This theme is so overused in the online slots industry that we even have an entire section dedicated to it, which you can find here if you fancy spending a whole day playing Egyptian-themed slots! Now that I think about it, I’m not sure I sold that link too well… as much as I enjoy some of the games that use this theme, I feel slot developers need to stop reusing the same ideas repeatedly. I’m glad that Pragmatic Play has put a decent amount of effort into Book of Tut Re-Spin, and that it isn’t just a blatant clone of Book of Ra and Book of Dead, as I really would find it difficult to hide my boredom if it was just a simple copy of those earlier games.

Let’s investigate the paytable next; I’m sure you won’t be surprised to learn that our latest Indiana Jones lookalike – known as “John Hunter” this time around – sits at the top of the paytable. Hitting a complete five-of-a-kind pay line of John symbols will return 100x your bet, whilst the Tutankhamun mask is worth 50x for all five. Next, we have the cat and scarab beetle, both of which have a return of 30x for a complete pay line. There are five lower-paying royal symbols with values of between 10x and 5x for a five-of-a-kind combination, and then there are the books worth 200x, 20x, or 2x for five, four, or three, respectively. If you have spent any time spinning the other slots we previously mentioned, then I’m sure all those numbers felt eerily familiar, so let’s move on.

Even the wagering options have a distinct familiarity to them in Book of Tut Re-Spin – the minimum bet per spin is €0.10, whilst the maximum is set at €100.00 per round. Pragmatic Play has employed its usual three-way selector mechanism, meaning you can choose almost any interval between these two amounts you wish.

base game & MODIFIERS

The base game is as standard as they come – a 5x3 playfield featuring ten fixed paylines. Three matching symbols on a pay line starting from the left will award a regular win, whilst three or more books anywhere on the screen will award the scatter wins. Unlike previous book slots, this one features a special modifier, detailed below:

book of tut respin slot bonus features

The main bonus round is triggered by hitting three or more book symbols during the base game and always awards ten free spins. If you should hit four or five books, you will be paid an additional cash prize – 20x for four books or 200x for all five.

At the beginning of the free spins feature, you will be asked to choose your preferred expanding symbol. This is a neat touch, as most “book” slots have featured a random selection mechanism instead. By allowing you to choose your expanding symbol, Pragmatic Play effectively lets players decide how much volatility they are willing to accept – pick the explorer if you want a massive win every now and again or go for the royals if you want lots of smaller wins!

The other big difference between this feature and previous “book” slot bonus rounds is the re-spin element; if you hit three or four of your chosen expanding symbol on any spin, then you will win an additional re-spin, giving you another chance to complete a full screen of five matching expanding symbols. The free spins feature can also be retriggered by hitting three or more books whilst the bonus round is in play.
