With the inspiration coming from a slot machine like Book of Ra, you will not find a lot of originality in the game’s theme. It’s inspired by Ancient Egypt, and it has symbols and background graphics to show that side off. You get pyramids in the background, while on the reels there are Book symbols, three gods and a mix of Royals. The only ones not fitting in are the Royals. Everything else is very well designed.

Established in 2011, Big Time Gaming has always had a focus on quality games over the years, placing a big emphasis on innovation and on game mechanics that are fun for players. They’re the ones that invented the Megaways engine, which in turn started a craze which has seen these slots launch at multiple developers, as a result of BTG licensing the technology out. It’s an entire new category that they’ve invented, but they didn’t stop there, and they try to put out a couple of games each year, where they introduce new features.

You only need to decide on the total bet for the round, and it can be anywhere from $0.10 to $40. It’s an amount which will give you access to all ways to win.

An option will be to buy access to the Feature Drop, which allows you to get into the free spins immediately, by paying 80x the round’s stake for the privilege.

With Book of Gods, Big Time Gaming chose to mix in features from a couple of different slots, and as you might’ve guessed from its title, some of the inspiration has come from Book of Ra. They rely on 5 reels & 243 ways to win here, not on 10 measly lines, plus they’ve mixed in Symbol Cloning and a few other goodies, to make things a lot more exciting.

With up to 20x paid on each line/way to win, the total potential of the game for a single spin is 4860x the stake, which is not bad at all. Not quite at the level of other releases from this developer, but not a bad target to have in a Book of Ra inspired game, which typically pays around that same value when maxed out.

RTP wise, the game does alright, having been calculated to pay 96.35% back to players in the long run.

Book of Gods is an excellent game, for any player that enjoys a few spins on the old Book of Ra from time to time. With new features and better graphics, it makes the action just a bit more interesting, and that will be enough for many players.
