Book of Admiral (Amatic Industries) – Review & Demo Play

Book of Admiral - Game Overview

I went into Book of Admiral expecting a classic 5x3 slot with 10 paylines, and that’s what I got. Amatic builds a naval theme around Admiral Nelson, with reels set on a ship's deck and a straightforward 'Book of' setup. The Book symbol carries the core mechanic, while wins land from left to right on fixed lines. It’s a familiar voyage, and the draw is the expanding symbol free spins that can swing sessions when they arrive.

Math Model and Payouts in Book of Admiral

Book of Admiral runs on a high volatility level with a decent 5,000x jackpot ceiling. The betting range is broad, starting at £0.10 a spin and going up to £100 for those who like to up the ante. It’s a straight maths package that rewards patience and timing, as the bigger swings sit in features. For day-to-day play I kept stakes steady and let the hit rate ebb and flow, waiting for the bonus to do the heavy lifting.

The quoted RTP sits at 97.05 percent, which reads well for a 'Book of' build. In practice, my returns hinged on how the expanding symbol behaved in the round of free spins. Dead patches can bite, yet the paytable has room to recover when the right symbol takes off. If you chase the 5,000x, be ready for a streaky ride, as base game hits are modest compared to the feature peaks.

Symbols and Paytable in Book of Admiral

The slot has nine pay symbols. Lows are Tens through Aces, while highs are cannons, a compass style emblem, a ship, and the admiral. The admiral is the most profitable, paying 1x for two, then 10x, 100x, and 500x for three to five on a line. The next premium reaches 0.5x, 4x, 40x, and 200x. Two mid icons award 0.5x, 3x, 10x, and 75x. Low pays top out at 10x or 15x for five of a kind.

The Book symbol is both Wild and Scatter. It substitutes in the base game and carries scatter pays of 2x, 20x, or 200x for three, four, or five anywhere. Line wins need three or more matching symbols, left to right, and the game uses 10 fixed paylines. Payouts follow the classic structure, so the bulk of value sits with premiums and the feature that turns a chosen icon into an expander during free spins.

Bonus Features in Book of Admiral

Three, four, or five Books trigger 10 free spins. Before they begin, one pay symbol is selected at random as the special expander. When it lands, it can stretch to fill the reel after line wins are paid. The expanded sets don't need to be adjacent, so you can land pays across non-neighbouring reels. That’s the heart of the model and the main route to meaningful wins, especially when a premium gets picked.

Retriggers keep the feature alive and add another expander to the mix each time. Stack enough retriggers and you can end up with several expanding symbols at once, which is where sessions can turn. It mirrors the well-known pattern from other 'Book of' games, so there are no surprises in how it plays out. What matters is getting repeats and avoiding dud picks that fail to land in clusters. That is the swing point for the 5,000x dream.

In my sessions the feature could go flat for stretches, then spike when a high symbol finally lined up across three or more reels after expansion. The tension sits with those reveals, as any retrigger shifts the ceiling and tilts the round in your favour. It’s a familiar rhythm, yet still satisfying when the screen fills and the count jumps fast. Not needing adjacency gives those expansions extra bite on 10 lines.

Design and Presentation in Book of Admiral

Visually, Book of Admiral feels like a blast from the past. The background shows the ship's deck and the symbols get the job done, but the user interface and icon art look dated compared with newer builds. That said, the thematic set makes sense, with card ranks for lows and naval kit for highs, and the screen stays clear during expansions. It’s serviceable rather than flashy, which matches the stripped back gameplay loop.

Review Summary for Book of Admiral

As a long-time slot fan, I’d call Book of Admiral an average 'Book of' entry. Not bad, just formulaic. The draw is clear enough, with free spins and a random expander, retriggers that can add up to nine expanding symbols, and a 5,000x cap for hot runs. Production values sit below par, but the core mechanic still carries sessions. If you fancy ships and admirals with classic 'Book' play, this scratches the itch.
