An ancient Egypt pharaoh keeps his immense wealth buried deep inside the temple with cobras keeping the intruders away and hawks scanning the surroundings. Only the chosen ones will be able to pass by the guardians and sweep the riches.
The 2019 Microgaming Egypt-themed title offers 10 lines to create your wins and promises huge wins that can go up to 135,000 coins. The game is played on 5 reels and 3 rows and includes Wild/Scatter symbols, Free Spins and Expanding Symbol feature.
A very appealing background presents a beautiful sunny day somewhere in Ancient Egypt with fantastic buildings and adorable nature. The background looks so good that Microgaming has chosen to make semi-transparent reels. That was an excellent choice that provides a sheer visual pleasure. The symbols that show up on the reels are skillfully drawn as well. All the themed symbols are very attractive and even the regular card symbols fit perfectly to the surroundings.
Even if you are not a pharaoh, you will have a royal experience with Book of Atem. The game is played on 10 fixed paylines each awarding for at least 3 of a kind symbols landing in adjacent reels starting with the leftmost. The bets go from $0.10 to $25.00 which means your coin value is set between $0.01 and $2.50.
While playing Book of Atem, pay special attention to the Book symbol. This one is the most powerful and it acts as Wild and Scatter at the same time. This means it can substitute for other symbols to help create winning combinations but also can award even if they land outside the paylines.
But this is just to begin with – 3 or more Books anywhere on the reels will also trigger 10 Free Spins. The Free Spins feature has a special surprise too and it is called the Expanding Symbol feature. One of the symbols will be chosen at the beginning of Free Spins and it will expand until the Free Spins are completed.
The 2019 Microgaming release is playable on any device. With the alluring graphics that it features it will make your mobile phone shining. The landscape mode gives you a better visual experience, but the portrait mode is not so bad as well. Either way, you can play Book of Atem on the go losing nothing of your playing adventure.
