The Book of Amaterasu Slot Review

Ever wondered what the first book was? Although not much is known about the first book ever which is the Etruscan Gold Book, it is believed to be the oldest book in the world as it dates back to around 600 BCE. The entire book is made out of 24-carat gold and consists of six sheets bound together, which have illustrations of a horse-rider, a mermaid, a harp, and soldiers (I’d like some of whatever the author was on please). The book was found sometime in the late 1950s in a tomb uncovered during digging for a canal along the Strouma river in Bulgaria. Wow, would you have a look at that, the first book was made of gold. I know of another book that will bring you gold, The Book of Amaterasu, another amazing game by Mascot Gaming.

Game Play

The Book of Amaterasu is a 5x3 reel, 10 payline video slot by Mascot.

The oriental-themed symbols look fantastic in this game and there are 9 in the standard paytable. The symbols include a J, Q, K, and Ace as the lower-tier group. Next, in the high-tier group, there is a water Lily, a cat mask, a golden coin, a lucky cat, and a beautiful geisha. The low-tier symbols have the smallest multipliers with the jack, queen, and king giving a 5x multiplier for 3x symbols. The ace pays slightly higher and gives a 10x multiplier for 3x symbols, and a 150x multiplier for 5x symbols.

The pink Lily is the lowest-paying of the high-tier symbols and gives a 10x multiplier for 3x symbols. The other high-tier symbols all payout for just 2x symbols. The cat mask and coin give a 2x multiplier for 2x symbols and a 750x multiplier for 5x symbols. Next, the lucky cat gives a maximum payout of 2000x for 5x symbols, whilst the geisha has the highest payout of 5000x your bet per line for 5x symbols.

There is also the mystery symbol which is a wild symbol. This symbol appears on any reel, and substitutes for everything. It also doubles as the scatter symbol and triggers free spins detailed below.

Features

Free Spins - 3, 4 or 5 Mystery Scatters award 10, 15 or 20 spins free of charge respectively. Before the feature itself starts, one randomly selected symbol will become chosen as a Special Expanding and will expand to cover the whole reel upon partaking in a winning combination.
The feature is re-triggerable by landing 3, 4 or 5 additional Scatters.

Risk’N’Buy Feature - this feature is offered to players in the base game after each spin, regardless of it being a win or not. You can either risk the current winnings and go straight into the Free Spins round with a suggested Special Expanding Symbol or Buy the feature.

Conclusion

There’s something about The Book of Amaterasu that simply soothes and calms the atmosphere while also providing a typical “Book of” gameplay experience. It’s a very enchanting game and the Risk N Buy feature can yield some high rewards. We adore the sound effects, very spa-like. The graphics are cute and colourful and the background of the slot is serene. It’s tough to fault, you would only be losing out by not giving it a spin for yourself.
