Book of the Priestess Slot Machine

Book of the Priestess is an excellent Book-themed slot released by provider Evoplay. We're in a Maya setting, as evident from the grid set in stones decorated with pre-Columbian motifs and the typical soundtrack of slots in this category. The main icons show beautiful maidens who are part of the tribe that the player visits, a community probably composed of only women. The game grid has 5 reels and 3 rows of symbols, offering 10 fixed paylines. The RTP is calculated at 95.96% and the volatility is medium-high.

BOOK OF THE PRIESTESS: GENERAL INFORMATION AND FEATURES

The design of Book of Priestess is very bright, as one might expect from a slot set in the middle of the forest and inspired by pre-Columbian cultures. The reels are surrounded by stone columns and, from the angle of light, one can easily think it's sunset time. During free spins, this image changes and the grid is illuminated by moonlight and the reddish flames of nearby bonfires. Those who appreciate slots with all-female icons will certainly notice the excellent characterization of the four main figures.

Payouts are awarded for aligning 2 to 5 matching symbols for characteristic icons and 3 to 5 matching symbols for minor icons. These, naturally, are depicted by poker royal letters, plus the number 10. Bets can start from a minimum of €0.10 and go up to €75, with a maximum possible win of 6000x the initial bet... not bad for a medium-high volatility slot. The paylines, it should be considered, are only 10, so the game grid follows the most classic scheme in this respect. The icons present on the paytable are:

• Woman with braids that pays up to 500x;
• Brunette woman that pays up to 200x;
• Red-haired woman that pays up to 75x;
• Blonde woman that pays up to 75x;
• A and K that pay up to 15x,
• Q, J and 10 that pay up to 10x.
• Wild|Scatter that pays up to 200x.

EXTRA FEATURES OF THE BOOK OF THE PRIESTESS SLOT

Wild|Scatter: as in all Book slots, the game's special symbol is a magic tome. This appears in red and gold, with an emerald gem in the center. Besides substituting all standard icons, if it lands at least 3 times it offers 10 free spins and, additionally, pays anywhere it appears. If additional books land during free spins, they charge the Ancient Mask Counter.

Free Spins: before the feature begins, the game draws a random symbol and selects it to become Expanding during free spins. All expanding symbols pay anywhere on the grid, provided they reach the minimum number of required combinations. During free spins, it's possible to obtain additional expansion symbols, which are shown in the upper row of icons.

Ancient Mask Feature: when the countdown reaches 0, the feature adds another 5 free spins. The feature continues until all regular symbols become Expanding or until the number of available free spins runs out.

PROS AND CONS OF THE BOOK OF THE PRIESTESS SLOT

Book of the Priestess is a very pleasant slot from a graphic point of view, differentiating itself from many other older and less polished Book slots. The protagonists of the slot, as can be inferred from the title, are Maya priestesses and the entire design is inspired by this setting. The theme is among players' favorites and, moreover, has the merit of blending with Book slot mechanics. The only drawback that could be highlighted is that the RTP value is slightly below average.
