In May 2021, Relax Gaming came up with its own vision of the popular Book of Ra slot. It is called Book of 99 and takes you to Ancient Greece, where you will have to face one-eyed Cyclops and child-eating monster Lamia to win prizes. They are worth fighting for because the maximum potential win stands at 5,000x the bet. While the game keeps the familiar 5-reel, 10-payline structure with the popular free spins feature and expanding symbols, the provider has made the game more appealing with a few details we will discuss below.
First of all, we cannot stress enough how impressive the Book of 99 looks. From the moment you start loading the game and its intro, the game boasts immersive graphics and animations accompanied by a haunting soundtrack. The reels are home to a male and female character who, along with Cyclops and Lamia, make up the upper ends of the paytable. The rest of the reels are populated by playing card royals rendered to fit the game's theme perfectly. The Book of 99 icon acts as Wild and Scatter.
To play Book of 99, you have to wager at least $0.10. The maximum bet is capped at $100 per spin. You can speed up the spinning of the reels and activate up to 1,000 autospins or let them play infinitely. Advanced options are also available, allowing you to set your win and loss limits. Land at least 2 high or 3 low-value matching icons on a payline to hit a win.
Book of 99 Wild will complete your winning combos by replacing all other symbols. If you land 3 or more of these anywhere in view, you will trigger the free spins feature. There is another way of entering free spins, too. Whenever Wild appears on the reels in the main game, it will be added to the collection meter. If you manage to collect 99 Wilds, you will activate free spins without 3 Wilds/Scatters on the reels. This option may take time, but if you are patient enough, it works 100%.
Once you have activated the bonus feature, one of the regular symbols will be selected at random. It will be the special, expanding symbol within free games. Like in other "Book of" slots, this symbol pays regardless of its position, like Scatter.
What makes Book of 99 stand out from other similar games is its RTP of 99%. It is one of the highest RTPs in the industry, which promises a rewarding gaming experience. Even if you don't notice its effect, you will most definitely enjoy superior graphics and sounds while trying to win up to 5,000x the bet.
