Ramses Book (Gamomat) – Review & Demo Play

Game symbols in Ramses Book

Top of the paytable is Ramses, paying 500x for five of a kind. The Book acts as Wild/Scatter and pays up to 200x for five, while the Pillar also pays 200x. Cats and Bird each go 75x for five, the Flower reaches 25x, and the map-style card symbols come in at 10x. Even the lowest symbols start at least 10x, and the lure is those 5-line lines where a series of five Ramses pictures can drop the headline 500x.

In the feature, a bonus symbol is randomly chosen (any except the Book). That symbol can expand on its reel and pay outside paylines. If you manage one on each reel, you can land a full screen, which is where this slot goes from steady base dribbles to proper shots. I rate the pays as straightforward: nothing flashy on paper, but they pair well with the expanding mechanic. That's the classic Book pattern players chase.

What bonus features are there in Ramses Book?

Ramses Book packs a few toggles and risks. You can switch the paylines between 5 and 10. After any win, the gamble function offers a 50:50 to double your profit, and a miss wipes it. The Book symbol is the heart of the game, acting as both Scatter and Wild. Hit 3/4/5 books to trigger 10 free spins, then a random bonus symbol (not the Book) is selected for expanding wins that can pay beyond the standard lines.

I've also played demo builds where a bonus buy is present, which skips scatters and buys straight into the feature. Some places keep that option out, so availability varies. Either way, the expanding symbol free spins are the headline act and the reason big win videos gravitate to this slot. It's what you most often see from streamers and big win clips, but in some jurisdictions it's banned and many lobbies don't offer it.

The 200 Spins Ramses Book experience

I set 30 cents on 10 lines and went for a 200-spin sample. Early doors, it was deathspins with only the odd 0.30 trickle, sometimes from two cat symbols. Around the 40-spin mark, the teases piled up; I had several two-book screens in a row without finding the third. That's classic Ramses: it shows you a glimpse, then slams the door. My highest return by 100 spins was €1.80 with six failed feature chances.

The second half didn't bail me out. Lines of four low symbols dropped a few times, topping out at €0.75, but the feature still wouldn't land and the teases got rarer. By 200 spins, I hadn't triggered free spins at all, which is unusual yet not rare for a high-variance Gamomat run. Bankroll damage was heavy: €48.70 down from €60 wagered in the test. Those small 0.15 to 1.00 returns couldn't stem the slide.

Wanting a fair crack at the feature, I pushed on past the plan. Even after 350 spins, Ramses Book stuck to its line and refused to hand it over. The session peak was a single game with two Ramses pictures for €3.00. Brutal, but that's exactly why I keep it in rotation: when the books line up, the slot can still go off. It's a slot to cheer, cheer and swear.

How to play Ramses Book

Like most Gamomat slots, operation is simple. The technical menu up top handles audio, full screen and spin speed. The 5x3 reels sit centre with the 5/10 paylines shown at the sides. Below, you set lines (5/10) and stake (0.10-100). The purple MAXBET jumps straight to the top stake, while green buttons start spins or open Auto with stop conditions. The "i" panel shows rules, win lines, history, and the RTP that applies at your venue.

Ramses Book RTP – Be aware of this!

The manufacturer quotes 96.15%, but this slot ships with RTP ranges. I've met both the 96.15% setting and the reduced 94.09% version. That gap translates to a house edge of 3.85% versus 5.91%, which bites harder than it looks. You need to check the info panel while logged in on real-money mode; fun money often displays the highest value. Some builds list a separate RTP for bonus buy, usually close to the main figure.

For context, with £100 and £1 spins, the 96.15% setting maps to roughly 2,597 spins on average before bust, about two hours at three seconds a spin. On 94.09%, that drops to around 1,692 spins, closer to ninety minutes. That's more than 40% fewer spins on average. If you care about session length and value, this one setting is the biggest lever you control.

Pros of Ramses Book

Very well-known and popular Gamomat slot that fits the classic "Book of..." pattern. Very high profit opportunities in the free spins thanks to a random expanding symbol that can pay outside paylines and deliver full screens. Simple, intuitive controls with switchable 5/10 lines, a clean paytable, and a 50:50 gamble for those who like to press wins. RTP can be the favourable 96.15% version if you pick the right setting, which helps longevity in real-money sessions.

Cons of Ramses Book

Sometimes long series of death spins that punish careless staking, and free spins can be stubborn even across a few hundred rounds. Requires patience, discipline and good bankroll management to ride the dry spells without tilting. Technically out of date, because graphics and audio look outdated. RTP ranges across lobbies, so you might face the reduced 94.09% version if you don't check, and there's a firm cap on top payout rather than a runaway jackpot.
