Running the slot
All visitors to our website automatically get 1,000 credits for playing the Ramses Book slot. With these funds you can freely place bets and experience all the advantages that this video slot has to offer. You can monitor your current demo balance in the Deposit box.
You can control the game by using the buttons, found on the panel at the bottom of the screen under the reels.
In the bottom right corner you will see the coin icon with the +/– buttons on both sides. This is where you should set your total bet per spin in the range between 0.05 and 10. The value selected will be displayed in the Bets box. You can select the maximum possible size of the bet by clicking the Max Bet button.
You cannot adjust the paylines, their number stays fixed at 5 at all times.
Click on the Spin button to launch the reels. The reels will take turns and stop automatically or after you click on any spot of the game screen with the mouse. If you win, the button will turn into the button with the word "Collect", and once you click on it, your winnings will be added to your virtual balance. But after a successful spin, two new buttons with the word "Gamble" will come up on each side. Each of them launches a different risk game.
In addition to the manual activation, the reels can be launched in the automatic mode. To do this, you need to configure the desired number of autospins by using the arrows in the bottom left corner and clicking the Auto Start button. The available options are 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 75 and 100.
On the left side of the control panel you can find the Paytable section. Click on it to view the paytable.
Symbols and multipliers in Ramses Book
To earn rewards in the Ramses Book slot, you must land 2 or more identical symbols in a row on an active payline. All combinations start from the leftmost reel. You can collect several winning combinations on different lines.
The pictures that land on the game screen can be conditionally subdivided into 3 groups: highest-valued, lowest-valued, and special ones.
The first list consists of the following pictures:
- Ramses: for 2 pictures on one line you earn 2 credits, for 3 – 20 credits, for 4 – 200 credits and for 5 – 1,000 credits
- An obelisk: for 2 pictures on the line you get 1 credit, for 3 – 8 credits, for 4 – 80 credits and for 5 – 400 credits
- 3 statues of cats and a bird: for 2 pictures on the line you are awarded with 1 credit, for 3 – 6 credits, for 4 – 20 credits and for 5 – 150 credits
The low-valued pictures are depicted as playing card suits and artificial flowers. They come up on the reels more frequently, and their factors are as follows:
- The flower: for 3 pictures on one line you earn 2 credits, for 4 – 10 credits and for 5 – 50 credits
- Spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs: for 3 pictures on one line you get 1 credit, for 4 – 5 credits and for 5 – 20 credits
The payouts listed above are based on a total bet of 1 credit.
The special symbol in Ramses Book is a book. It simultaneously plays the role of both the Scatter and the Wild, and also earns you the following payouts: for 3 pictures in any part of the game screen you get 2 credits, for 4 – 20 credits and for 5 – 200 credits.
Bonuses featured in the slot
In the Ramses Book online slot all bonus advantages are activated with one single picture — the Book of Ramses. It acts as both the Wild and the Scatter symbols and also earns you some bonus payouts.
Once it lands on the reels, it replaces any symbols of the slot that are missing to produce a full-fledged winning combo.
Once 3 or more Scatters land on the screen, you get a reward of 10 free spins with the Bonus symbol. Before launching the spins, a book will appear on the screen that will randomly select one of the slot's symbols. During the free spins it earns you a reward as indicated in the paytable, once it lands on two or three (depending on the symbol) reels. In this case, the bonus symbols will stretch all along the reels and pay you the wins even when they are not anywhere near. Accordingly, you will be awarded with the largest reward for the pictures of Ramses and the obelisk.
During the free spins 3 books may land again, and you will get more free spins, but with the same Bonus symbol. You cannot open the risk game in this mode. However, once all free spins are completed, you can try to double all the winnings earned in the round.
Rules of the risk game
Despite a small variety of bonus symbols, Ramses Book may brag about the two different risk games that it has available. They become available after each successful spin and are displayed in two boxes with corresponding background images on both sides of the Collect button.
The first risk game is represented as a round with playing cards. The point of the game is to guess the colour of the card lying face down. The correct answer will double your winnings for the spin, and the wrong answer will nullify them and kick you out of the double-or-nothing round. You can see 4 buttons at the bottom of the screen. Use two middle buttons to choose the colour, and by using the rightmost button you can collect your earned credits and bring the reels back onto the screen. Click on the Collect Half button to bet only a half of your winnings.
The second risk game lets you boost your winnings in the ladder game. All you need to earn a reward is to hit the Gamble button at the right time. If, as a result, the figure stops one level higher than the box with the current award, your winnings will be doubled. Otherwise you lose your earned credits and return to spinning the reels. You also have an opportunity to double a half of your winnings.
During the risk game you can win the maximum of 150 game units with the total bet of 1 credit. However, tests have shown that the second risk game is played for the benefit of the slot and will not always yield the anticipated results. It is recommended that here you do not multiply your winnings more than 3 times in a row.
A positive aspect is the availability of doubling games during the autospins mode. After a successful spin the reels will stop for a few seconds, and you will be invited to double the winnings that you have earned.
Additional buttons featured in the slot
In addition to the main buttons on the control panel, you will find several additional buttons that will make your game more comfortable. 3 of them are located in the top right corner:
- The gear enables you to speed up the reels and adjust 3 different sound options
- The angular arrows display the game in full screen
- The speaker icon enables/disables the sound effects
The "?" button is located in the bottom left corner. It displays a page with the rules of the slot in a new window.
