Bonus Rounds in Book of Sam
Electric Treat Features: The Book of Sam slot offers three Electric Treat features, one for each character:
- Maggie: Triggered by 2 or more Maggie symbols. This awards a respin where all low-value playing cards, Bastet and Maggie symbols are removed, leaving only high-value symbols.
- Sandra: Triggered by 2 or more Sandra symbols. It grants respins with an increasing multiplier. If activated during free spins, the multiplier remains sticky but only during Sandra-triggered respins.
- Sam: Activated by a win with 2 or more Sam symbols. A sticky Book of Sam Wild/Scatter symbol appears during respins. During free spins, the added Book of Sam symbol transforms into an expanding wild.
Free Spins Feature: Triggered when 3 or more Book of Sam Wild/Scatter symbols land anywhere on the reels, granting 8 free spins. Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatters awards 1, 2, or 3 expanding symbols, respectively.
Expanding symbols are randomly chosen, and a win requires at least 2 instances of a high-value expanding symbol or 3 instances of a low-value expanding symbol on individual reels, known as the Scatter Pay feature. Additional free spins and expanding symbols are awarded by landing 3 or more scatters during the feature - up to a maximum of 5. Potential payouts are:
- 10, J, Q, K, or A: 50, 60, 70, 80, or 90 x
- Bastet: 100x
- Maggie: 250x
- Sandra 500x
- Sam 5,000x
The payouts listed above are for a full grid of matching symbols.
Additionally, the Electric Treat features can activate during free spins.
