Many people believe that all of Cleopatra’s treasures are located in the Tomb of Antony and Cleopatra. Well, according to Onlyplay’s Book of Eye, it seems that the lovely ruler of Egypt did not want to leave her riches to the Romans who defeated her and her lover in combat.
Once you load the pokie, you will see that the location of the pyramid is somewhere in the middle of the desert. You can only arrive there by riding camels because only these magnificent creatures are capable of staying alive so long in the sand.
The moment you get there, you will enjoy a starry sky and a full moon. Savour this breathtaking landscape as you spin the reels. And enjoy the lovely soundtrack in the background.
According to the legends, Cleopatra’s beauty was divine. No wonder that she is being guarded by gods in the 2021 release, eh? Cleopatra is the top-paying regular symbol. Horus, Anubis, and Bastet are guarding her in the afterlife.
The Book of Eye is the Wild that substitutes for all regular symbols. Also, the Book is the Scatter that triggers the Free Spins feature. During free spins, the Sun Sticky Wild appears. Low-value symbols are represented by simple playing cards.
Many fearless explorers tried to find the treasures but didn’t follow the rules, which led to their demise. Cleopatra is a beautiful woman but can be extremely cruel if you are disobedient. Book of Eye is a high-variance pokie that has an RTP of 95.55% and comes with a max payout of 55,000x.
Onlyplay states that, while the game was tested, the biggest payout reached was 28,100x. So, it is up to you to set the new record or even go all the way to 55,000x. The 2021 release benefits from 5 reels, 3 rows, and 10 fixed paylines. The slot pays left to right, beginning from the leftmost reel.
Three-of-a-kind is the minimum for landing payouts, except when it comes to high-paying symbols. They pay even for 2-of-a-kind. Set the bet between $1 and $50 and you are ready to go.
Since this is a Book of pokie machine, it is expected that it comes with a Free Spins feature with special expanding symbols. Onlyplay decided to upgrade the feature by adding Sticky Wilds and multipliers. Also, you have the option to buy the feature and to respin each reel.
Book of Eye allows you to respin every reel independently. So, after a base game spin, you can respin any of the reels you want indefinitely but for a certain price. The price can be higher or lower, depending on the chance that a particular reel can bring you a win or trigger free spins.
I used respins often while I tested the game. Usually, I was successful. Respins helped me land decent base game wins, up to 69x and also helped me trigger free spins once. However, when I did the math, I spent more on respinning certain reels than I won.
For example, I retriggered 1 reel 4 times. Each respin cost around 8x the bet. In total, I spent 32x and on the last respin, I got a win of 27.5x.
With 3+ Scatters on the reels, you trigger the Free Spins feature. Before the feature begins, the Book randomly selects one of the symbols to be the special expanding symbol. When a win can be completed, the special expanding symbol will cover the entire reel and pay anywhere.
In theory, you can cover the entire grid with special expanding symbols. In reality, this does not happen that often, at least not to me. Another important addition to the feature is the Sun Sticky Wild. Once on the reels, it sticks to its position until the feature ends.
You start with a 1x multiplier. With every new Sticky Wild, the multiplier goes up by 1x. The most I got were 3 Sticky Wilds and a 4x multiplier. My biggest win in free spins was around 1,000x.
Speed Up Bonus gives you the option to trigger free spins for 110x the bet. Again, to prove a point, I tested the option. I used it 3 times, spent 330x and won around 100x in total. In my opinion, you should stay away from Buy Feature options.
I have played loads of Book of pokie machines over the years. At some point, all of them started to feel the same to me. Now, I have a hard time determining which is which. In most cases, they have the same Free Spins feature with 10 free spins and 1 special expanding symbol.
The book is both the Wild and the Scatter and action takes place in Ancient Egypt. Well, I have to be honest and say that Onlyplay did something to make Book of Eye stand out from the crowd. Onlyplay added more features.
Respins can be very helpful in the base game but don’t overdo it like I did. Use them wisely. Also, free spins come with Sticky Wilds and win multipliers, which can really boost your wins. Again, I need to tell you to stay away from the Speed Up Bonus if you plan on taking care of your balance.
