Book of Secrets 6

Book of Secrets 6 is set in ancient Egypt, a popular theme in slot games. The game features a 6×3 grid against a backdrop that depicts Egyptian architecture. The slot's atmosphere is enhanced by Egyptian-style background music, which immerses players in the ancient setting.

The main character is an explorer, represented by one of the high-value symbols. Other characters or symbols include a pharaoh mask, ankh cross, and scarab beetle, all of which are common motifs in Egyptian-themed slots.

This game is part of Synot Games' “Book of” series with predecessor the original Book of Secrets. The key difference in this iteration is the addition of a sixth reel, which sets it apart from its five-reel predecessor while maintaining the core Egyptian theme and gameplay elements.

Core Game and Mechanics

Book of Secrets 6 operates on a 6-reel, 3-row grid with 10 paylines. The game's RTP (Return to Player) is 96.02%, and it's classified as a high volatility slot. This volatility rating suggests that while wins may be less frequent, they have the potential to be more substantial when they occur.

The slot features nine standard symbols, divided into low-paying and high-paying categories. Low-paying symbols are represented by playing card values 10, J, Q, K, and A. High-paying symbols include the ankh cross, scarab beetle, pharaoh mask, and explorer.

Players can bet between 0.12 and 10 coins per spin. The maximum potential win is 12,500 times the bet, which can occur during the bonus features.

Bonus Features

1. Wild/Scatter Symbol: The golden book with the Eye of Horus serves as both a wild and scatter symbol. As a wild, it substitutes for all other symbols to create winning combinations. As a scatter, it triggers the free spins bonus when three or more appear anywhere on the reels.
2. Free Spins:

• Triggered by landing three or more scatter symbols.
• Awards 10 free spins initially.
• Can be re-triggered during the bonus round by landing additional scatters.
• Before the free spins begin, one standard symbol is randomly selected to become a special expanding symbol.

3. Expanding Symbol:

• Active only during the free spins bonus.
• The randomly selected special symbol will expand to cover entire reels when enough symbols are present to form a winning combination.
• This feature can lead to significant wins, especially if a high-value symbol is chosen as the special expanding symbol.

4. Scatter Payouts:

• The scatter symbol also pays out when three or more land anywhere on the reels.
• Scatter wins are awarded in addition to regular payline wins.
• The maximum scatter payout is 200 times the total bet for six scatter symbols.

The most notable aspect of Book of Secrets 6 is its 6-reel setup, which is uncommon in “Book of” style slots. This additional reel increases the game's volatility compared to its 5-reel predecessor and creates the potential for larger wins, especially during the free spins bonus with the expanding symbol feature. The extra reel also means that players have the chance to land six scatter symbols, which wasn't possible in the original game, potentially leading to more lucrative scatter payouts.
