Important Symbols and the Book Mechanic

The Book Symbol

The Book symbol serves as a Wild, substituting for any paying symbol to help create winning combinations. In addition, when three or more Book symbols land in a single spin during the base game, they also act as scatters to trigger various bonus features. The exact bonus feature is determined by the number of Book scatter symbols and whether a Best of Bonus symbol is present:

  • 3 Book scatters: Triggers the Book of Dawn Bonus.
  • 4 Book scatters: Triggers the Triple Book of Dawn Bonus.
  • 5 Book scatters: Triggers the Triple Book of Dawn Bonus and awards a 1,000x prize.
  • 3 Book scatters plus Best of Bonus symbol: Triggers Best of Book of Dawn Bonus.
  • 4 Book scatters plus Best of Bonus symbol: Triggers Best of Triple Book of Dawn Bonus.
  • 5 Book scatters plus Best of Bonus symbol: Triggers Best of Triple Book of Dawn Bonus and awards a 1,000x prize.

Base Game Book Mechanic

Occasionally during the base game, the Book mechanic can activate. When this occurs, a random symbol is chosen as the Special symbol, and three to five of these symbols may land on the reels in the same spin. After regular wins are awarded, these Special symbols expand to fill the reels they land on. Expanded Special symbols can award wins anywhere on the paylines, regardless of intervening symbols.

Bonus Features Explained

Book of Dawn Bonus

This feature is activated by landing three Book scatter symbols on a single spin in the base game. Players are awarded 10 free spins. At the start of the bonus, one regular paying symbol is randomly selected as the Special symbol. When the Special symbol appears on three or more reels during a spin, it expands to cover those reels after normal wins are resolved and pays anywhere, even if separated by other symbols. Only low or high paying symbols may be chosen; the Book symbol cannot be selected. Special symbols are marked with a golden frame and colour change. Additional Book scatters during this feature can grant extra free spins:

  • 2 Book scatters: 2 additional free spins.
  • 3 Book scatters: 4 additional free spins.

If four Book scatters land simultaneously during this feature, the bonus is upgraded to the Triple Book of Dawn Bonus and four extra spins are added.

Triple Book of Dawn Bonus

This feature is triggered by landing four or five Book scatter symbols on a single spin in the base game. The bonus begins with 12 free spins. Three different paying symbols are randomly selected as Special symbols, with at least one guaranteed to be a high-paying symbol. Whenever any of these Special symbols land on three or more reels, each expands and pays out in sequence. Additional Book scatters during this feature award extra free spins:

  • 2 Book scatters: 2 additional free spins.
  • 3 Book scatters: 4 additional free spins.

Best of Book of Dawn Bonus

This bonus is activated when three Book scatters and a Best of Bonus symbol land together in the base game. The feature consists of three separate Book of Dawn Bonus rounds played in sequence. After each round, the result is recorded. At the end of all three rounds, the highest win is awarded to the player.

Best of Triple Book of Dawn Bonus

This feature is triggered by landing four or five Book scatter symbols together with a Best of Bonus symbol in the base game. It consists of three separate Triple Book of Dawn Bonus rounds played one after another. Each round’s outcome is stored, and at the conclusion of the third round, the largest win is paid out.

Maximum Win

The largest possible win available in Dawn of Kings is 10,000 times the stake. If this maximum win is reached during any round, the game concludes the round, displays a notification, and awards the winnings. Any remaining free spins or bonus features are forfeited, and the game returns to the main screen.

Managing Bets, Balance, and Wins

  • Your current balance is displayed in the BALANCE field.
  • All amounts are shown in the chosen currency.
  • The BET display shows the current wager, which can be changed by selecting from the available bet levels between £0.10 and £2.00.

Dawn of Kings Strategy

There is no Dawn of Kings strategy that can guarantee a win. Like other online slots, the outcome of each spin is determined randomly, so previous results do not influence what happens next.

The most useful Dawn of Kings strategy is to understand how the slot works before playing. Check the RTP, volatility, paylines and available features so you know what to expect from the game. These details can help you decide whether Dawn of Kings suits your preferences, but they do not increase your chances of winning on an individual spin.
