- A new ‘book of’ slot from Pragmatic Play with a twist
- Expanding symbols can lead to lots of ways to win
- Boring theme but a pretty good bonus
Book of Golden Sands slot from Pragmatic Play is the latest book of slot we’ve reviewed. There are plenty out there, so it’s always interesting to see how developers change things up to help them stand out whilst keeping the important features that define them. The theme certainly doesn’t stand out being a common Ancient Egyptian theme with a basic design. There are 6 reels and 3 rows to give you 728 ways to win. Simply get a winning combination from left to right using the base symbols. These are as follows, ranked in ascending order based on their value:
- Emerald, Amber or Ankh Jewel
- Skull or Eye Jewel
- Necklace or Broach
- Snake
- Queen
- God
- Tomb
There is also a wild symbol that can appear on all but the first reel, with a multiplier of 2x or 3x that applies to all wins it’s part of. It substitutes for all others in a winning combination apart from the scatter.

Book of Golden Sands Slot Bonuses and Features
Free Spins Bonus. This requires 3 or more scatter symbols, giving you 10 free spins. You also get a small payout just for 3, but land up to 6 for a payout of 500x your stake. Now, a random symbol is chosen to be your expanding symbol. After all payouts on a spin, these symbols then expand to cover the reel, and one instance of that symbol on each reel is then collected. Later expansions in the same round with reels that have collected symbols will expand as 3 plus the number of symbols on top, up to 10. Payouts are made even if expanded reels aren’t adjacent. You can also land 3 or more scatters during the bonus to give you 10 more free spins.
Bonus Buy. You can buy the main bonus for 100x your stake outside the U.K.
