Game Overview
If you’ve watched The Mummy, Anck-Su-Namun was apparently a concubine for Pharoah Seti I. She had an affair with Imhotep, the High Priest of Osiris, which eventually led to the pair killing the Pharoah. The murder was discovered, and the pair were banished to ritual deaths, which cursed their souls forever. However, Imhoptep is one day brought to life, and he seeks to do the same for his lover via the Book of Dead. Cue lots of action, magical spells, comedy, and the Book of Ra saving the day. Why the movie lesson? Because we’re ready to introduce you to the Book of Aksunamun Rockways slot, a highly volatile Ancient Egyptian-themed game from Mascot Gaming with 5 reels, 5 rows, and up to 3,125 ways to win.
I know what you’re thinking, as I had the same thought. Not another Book-themed slot! While the Book of Anksunamun Rockways contains many elements common in Book slots, such as the wild/scatter symbol and the free spins feature with a special expanding symbol, Mascot Gaming has put its own twist on the genre. It offers the Rockways reel mechanic that has featured in half a dozen Mascot Gaming releases to date, and the Rockfall feature, which is just another fancy name for cascading reels.
You can check out the Rockways mechanic, which works similarly to Megaways, by playing the Book of Anksunamun Rockways slot demo below. You can spin for free or even use the Buy Bonus feature to get straight to the free spins bonus without spending any money.
Book Of Anksunamun Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
If you’re a fan of Book slots, you have a ton of other titles to check out. You probably already know about the OG’s, such as Book of Dead from Play’n Go and Greentube’s Book of Ra, with there being plenty of sequels to both titles as well. As for more modern releases, I recommend you check out our reviews of Pragmatic Play’s John Hunter and the Book of Tut Respin and Book of Books by Peter & Sons.
Well, if you’ve not played the above Book slots before, add them to your ‘todo’ list for now, as you’ll want to check out Book of Anksunamun Rockways first or at least read the rest of this review before deciding whether to play it. Anyhow, back to the task at hand and first and foremost, I’ll run you through the top symbol payouts. Anksunamun is the highest payer, worth 4x the stake for a five of a kind win, followed by Imhotep, valued at 3.2x. The remaining premium symbols are the Bird and Cat statues, paying 2x and 1.6x for a completed line of five, respectively. Rounding off the pays section are the lower value symbols, which come in the form of the Ace, King Queen, Jack, and Ten, which will return 1x, 0.8x, 0.6x, 0.4x, and 0.4x, respectively.
Unless you’re a high roller with deep pockets who likes to bet more than most per spin, the staking options of between €0.20 and €50.00 per spin on Book of Anksunamun Rockways should prove adequate to find a bet size you’re comfortable with.
Book Of Anksunamun Slot Base Game
On any given spin, the Book of Anksunamun Rockways slot can produce up to 3,125 ways to win across its 5×5 reel matrix. That is thanks to the Rockways dynamic reels mechanic that enables reels to reveal between 2 and 5 symbols each spin. To scoop payouts, you must land 3 or more matching symbols on consecutive reels, with the first instance of the symbol appearing on the leftmost reel.
Rockfall Feature
On every winning spin, the Rockfall feature will remove the winning symbols. Once they’re gone, new symbols tumble in from the top. If additional wins are created, they’re also removed, with the Rockfall feature continuing until no more winning combinations occur.
Mystery Symbols
The mystery symbol acts as the game’s wild and scatter symbol. As a wild, it will substitute for all other symbols to help form winning combinations. As a scatter, it will trigger the free spins bonus if three or four appear in view on a single spin.
Risk/gamble Feature
This 3-tier gamble/risk game can be activated after you achieve a win and could reward you with up to 1,000x your winnings.
Book Of Anksunamun Slot Bonus Features
We now come to the main bonus, and if you’ve played Book slots in the past, you’ll have a good idea of what’s about to go down. If the bonus triggers via 3 scatter symbols, you receive 5 free spins, and If you’re lucky enough to see 4 scatter symbols hit the reels in the base game, you get 10 instead.
Free Spins Feature
Before the bonus begins, a regular-paying symbol is randomly selected as an expanding symbol. Each time that symbol lands during the free spins bonus on a minimum of three reels, it will expand. If there’s just one symbol on the reel, it will only expand to cells not filled with blocker symbols. However, if there are multiple expanding symbols, they expand to fill the entire 5-cell reel they’re sitting on.
Bonus Buy
The Book of Anksunamun Rockways slot also has a buy bonus option where you can purchase the 5 free spins bonus for 50x your stake. Alternatively, you’re also offered a special offer price and a pre-selected symbol, with this often costing less than the standard buy cost.
Pros
- Creative bonus feature split across two stages.
- Risk/Buy Bonus features.
Cons
- 95.25% RTP is below average for a slot game.
Book Of Anksunamun Slot Review Final Thoughts
Like many of you, I loved playing Book slots when they first appeared. Nowadays, I feel like the genre is outdated and overpopulated. That said, I appreciate it when iGaming slot developers do more than just clone the original slots in the genre and instead mix things up with new mechanics. That is the case with the Book of Anksunamun Rockways slot, combining many of the most common Book slot features with the Rockways mechanic. Overall, it is a good slot, in my opinion and one worthy of a few spins at the very least.
Good
