Book of Sam is no longer available at Wombat Casino. Sorry about that chaps. Why not have a spin on Electric Sam slot instead?
If you like ELK studios games (like Wild Toro and Nitropolis 4 for example), you will know all about Sam, the slots loving troll with the electric coat. We’ve seen him at home and down on the beach, and now he’s heading off to the desert city in Nevada with his family in the Book of Sam slot.
So what happens when a gang of quirky trolls travels to Las Vegas? Featuring happy trolls, Las Vegas, and Ancient Egyptian themes, this game is the brainchild of the famous Swedish game designers: ELK Studios.
A trip to Las Vegas was the ideal theme for the Book of Sam slot because the playful troll loves the endless buffets, and his wife Sandra enjoys the jumbo cocktails. It’s a pretty light hearted affair compared to something like the Baba Yaga Tales slot, which is fine by me. That game gives me the heeby jeebies!
Due to a last-minute cancellation, they had to bring their delightful and active daughter Maggie along on the trip.
Slot Facts
Book of Sam is a five-reel, three-row, ten-fixed pay-line electric slot machine. It comes with expanding symbols in the bonus game, multipliers, re-spin opportunities, and symbol removals.
The volatility is high, and the maximum pay-out is a hefty x10,000.
The game’s graphics are cheerful and inviting, and it’s been designed with portability in mind: it plays seamlessly on mobile devices. Keep reading our Book of Sam review to learn more about the cheerful trolls.
Graphics
The Book of Sam graphics are outstanding. Mind you, ELK games always look great. They feature unique symbols rendered in vibrant colours against dark reels adorned in gold. The famous signs for Las Vegas and its casinos are visible in the background. The music is upbeat, and the groovy jam session creates a fun environment.
The all-important Book is the wild symbol, which is also the key to the bonus features. This wild will replace all the other symbols to form winning combos on the reels.
Gameplay
The maximum bet on Book of Sam is 100.00 per spin, while the minimum works for a flutter at 0.20 a go.
Wins start on the first reel and pay left to right. The low-paying 10 to A card symbols require at least three symbols to create a win. However, the higher-paying characters, Maggie, Sandra, or Sam, only need at least two of a kind. A five-of-a-kind win pays 5 to 9 times the bet for the lower value symbols and 10 to 500 times for the premium symbols.
Bonus Features
This Book of Sam slot is packed full of features and modifiers for an entertaining gaming experience:
Free Spins
When three or more Book of Sam books land anywhere across the reels, you will receive eight free spins and an expanding symbol. The free spins bonus game can re-trigger when another three books land. You’ll get an extra four free spins and up to three expanding symbols. Before the free spins begin, the book will open to reveal the special expanding symbol.
Electric Treats
Next up, we have Electric Treats, which occur in both the base game and the free spins when either Sam, Maggie, or Sandra form a win on the reels.
A winning combination, including Sam, rewards you with a random book symbol anywhere on the reels. When Sandra forms a pay-out, you get a re-spin and a multiplier to help you make up bigger wins.
Last but by no means least, a win with Maggie removes all the low-value symbols, including Maggie herself and the cat, and new symbols drop down to replace the blanks.
X-iter Feature
Elk Studios have developed this slot with the X-iter feature, where you are more in control of how you progress while playing. This feauture is not available in all countries (such as the UK).
Click on the X-iter button on the board, and you have five options to buy bonuses up to x500 of your bet.
For x500, you receive the Super bonus free spins mode, and any matching symbols will expand and pay so that you can get a few wins on each spin. In addition, these expanding symbols do not need to line up. They can be in any position.
For x100 your bet you get regular free spins with only one expanding symbol.
Next, for x50, you can buy an expanding symbols spin.
For x10, you get an electric treat and finally, for double your wager, you have a higher chance of activating the free spins naturally.
Summary
The Book of Sam slot is another class game from ELK and Sam! Having the endearing troll family visit Las Vegas instead of the beach is a refreshing change of pace made into a slick game by ELK.
The Electric Treat feature keeps you guessing even during the regular game.
The Book of Sam demo mode is a perfect way to test the slot and buy a few features before giving this one a spin with real money!
