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

Book of Fortune by Amatic Overview

I’ve played Book of Fortune since it lived in chunky cabinets, and the online version keeps that straight old-school Amatic feel. It runs on a 5x3 layout with 10 paylines and a simple flow that doesn’t waste time. The book icon does the heavy lifting as both wild and scatter, while a gamble sits ready after wins. It’s a clean setup that still bites, especially when the expanding symbol takes over during free spins.

Launched in 2014, it sticks to clear maths and tight presentation. Stakes are modest, from 0.01 to 10 per spin, which suits casual sessions and testing streaks. The headline pull is the classic book mechanic: 10 free spins with one symbol expanding across reels. Pair that with the double-or-nothing gamble, and you’ve got a retro engine that can flip a balance fast when the timing lines up.

Book of Fortune Symbols and Paytable

The symbol ladder is familiar. The blonde heroine is the main payer, with full lines capable of reaching up to 5,000x line bet. Castle sits just behind, then the wizard and owl as solid mid-tier premiums. The golden book is special: it pays as a symbol, substitutes as wild, and triggers features as scatter. Scatter pays hit anywhere, with classic steps of 3, 4, or 5 books adding immediate value before the bonus even starts.

Low symbols are the card ranks. A and K top that bracket, then Q, J, 10, and 9. Five-of-a-kind lows pay in the 100x to 150x line-bet range depending on the rank, while some premium icons pay from two-of-a-kind upwards. Lines pay left to right only, and only the highest win per active line counts. In practice, good sessions lean on premium connections in base play and then stack bigger totals when expansions land in the bonus.

Keep the maths straight: premium wins are calculated against your line bet, added across the 10 lines. Book scatter pays are multiplied by total stake and don’t need a line at all. That split matters when you size bets. If I’m hunting a premium full line, I care about line size. If I’m fishing for books, total stake frames the scatter steps while the wild role keeps base-game lines ticking over.

Book of Fortune Slots Features

The Book symbol pulls double duty. As a wild, it replaces anything to complete lines and keep small-to-medium hits flowing. Land 3 or more books anywhere to trigger 10 free spins. Before they start, the game picks one symbol (not the book) to become the expander. When that symbol appears, it stretches to cover its reel and pays on all active lines, even if reels aren’t consecutive. That’s the old-school screen-filling moment Amatic fans expect.

Free spins can retrigger with 3+ books, adding another 10 at a time. The real juice comes when a top-tier premium is chosen as the expander and you land it across several reels. It’s not flashy, but the mechanic is clean and can stack quick when the rhythm hits. After any win, the Gamble feature offers the classic choice: red/black to double, or suit to attempt a 4x. It’s tempting, but it cuts both ways fast.

How to Play Book of Fortune Slot Machine?

Set your stake with the Bet control, keeping in mind there are 10 lines active. Tap Spin and let the reels go. After a win, pick Collect to bank it or hit Gamble for a red/black double or a suit pick worth 4x. Three or more books anywhere award 10 free spins with a random expanding symbol; the expansion pays across all lines. I always check the paytable and Help pages first, then settle on a flat stake for at least 100 spins.

Volatility & RTP in Book of Fortune

This one sits high on variance, so expect dry patches broken by sharp bursts when expansions land. RTP is offered in multiple versions: 90.57%, 95.07%, 95.09%, 96.63%, and 97.63%. The spread is big, and the higher setting feels far friendlier over time. Stakes range from 0.01 to 10 per spin. I size lines so a session covers 100–150 spins, giving a fair shot at triggering the feature and letting the expanding symbol do the heavy lifting.

Book of Fortune Theme and Graphics

It leans into early-2000s wizardry: a deep blue backdrop, a distant castle, and a cast of wizard, owl, and golden-haired apprentice. The presentation is clean, not flashy, which fits the maths-first gameplay. Sounds are the classic Amatic clicks and chimes, with a short music lift in features. When the expander hits, the reel-fill animation carries that nostalgic cabinet vibe. It’s retro on purpose, and it suits long sessions where the mechanic, not the gloss, does the work.

Final Words on Book of Fortune

I spin Book of Fortune when I want straight book mechanics without clutter. The base game keeps you afloat with wild fills, and the bonus can swing hard once the expander lines up. It’s harsh at times, yes, but the peaks feel proper, especially with premium expansions. If you keep stakes steady and give it room to breathe, the old-school rhythm makes sense. When the pages turn the right way, it still lands a memorable chapter.
