What does the new Book Hotfire Video Slot have to offer? A brilliantly designed online & mobile slot with an Egyptian book theme! (Images courtesy of yggdrasilgaming.com)
If you are a fan of Egyptian themed slots, especially those with the almighty and divine book featured as the wild as well as being the scatter spin bet multiplier and free spins trigger, Yggdrasil and AceRun have a treat in store for you.
On 8 August the Book Hotfire will hit the online casino wires, and I have to say, it brings back memories of the first release of the Book of Ra and the Book of Dead video slots.
If you already know the famous Book of Dead and Book of Ra collections, then you’ll quickly spot the similarities in the next paragraph.
An Egyptian theme, 5×3 reels, 10 pay lines, book is wild, book pays scatter multipliers, and the book triggers free spins with an expanding symbol that pays anywhere. The differences are that the Book Hotfire comes with 10 ‘fixed’ paylines (the original book slots had 1 to 10 paylines as an option). For more detailed explanations of the features, check out the info below. One thing is for sure, I really enjoy this type of slot so forgive me if I sound overly upbeat about this one.
Just to reafirm the slot’s release, it will become available at UKGC, MGA and CEG licenced casinos on Monday 8 August 2022. As for the developer, AcrRun is releasing the slot title via the Yggdrasil platform (the YG Masters platform I believe), and it will be fully available on mobile and desktop.
Highlights: The Hotfire Book video slot title is a high variance/volatility slot with a 96.15% theoretical RTP. It comes with 5×3 reels, 10 fixed paylines, wild symbol, scatter with multipliers, and a free spins bonus with a wheel of fortune that selects an expanding symbol. The min-max bets are 0.20-30.00 EUR-CAD-USD-NZD-AUD or currency equivalents. As for the max win, you could land a healthy 5,000x on your spin bet.
Book Hotfire Video Slot Gameplay – Big Symbol Payouts!
Winning big on Book Heather is all about the free spins round. That said, you can still land over 500x your spin bet in the base game if you land the highest paying symbol. With most of the symbols paying out high spin bet multipliers (see paytable info below), landing multiple combination wins usually in a decent pay off. However, the free spins bonus round is where you’ll get the most value for your spin bet from a single spin thanks to the initial scatter multiplier and the added chance of netting easier wins via the pay anywhere expanding symbol feature.
As with most slots, the betting is easy. Use the -/+ icon on the bet panel to adjust, then press spin. There are also quick spin and auto-spins available in jurisdictions that allow these extra features (not UKGC casinos). There are also sound controls. On top of this, feel free to play the slot on your mobile or desktop device.
All Features on the Latest Acerun & Yggdrasil Slot Title
- Wild: The Hotfire Book is the wild symbol and substitutes for all regular symbols as a wildcard.
- Scatter: The book is the scatter symbol and pays 2x, 20x or 200x your spin bet when 3, 4 or 5 land anywhere on the reels.
- Free Spins: When 3, 4 or 5 scatters hit the reels anywhere in view, you get 10 free spins.
- Retriggers: 3, 4 or 5 scatters during free spins will retrigger another 10 free spins.
- Expanding Symbol: A wheel of fortune will spin to select any of the regular symbols as an expanding symbol, which pays anywhere.
Expanding Symbol ‘Pays Anywhere’ Explained
Both the scatter and expanding symbol pay anywhere in view on reels. If you are new to slots, then I will give you a quick explanation how this works using the expanding symbol as an example. During free spins, it become much easier to gain a payout from the randomly selected expanding symbol.
- Normal Rules: For a successful symbol combination to pay, all symbol must land on a pay line. The first symbol must be on reel 1 and all subsequent symbol on adajcent reels running from left to right with no gaps. For example, a 3-symbol combination will have the same symbol on reels 1-2-3. A 4-symbol combination should spin in 4 alike symbols on reels 1-2-3-4. If there is a gap, say the same symbol on reels 1-3-4, then this is not a winning combination.
- Expanding symbol: The expanding symbol in the free spins round is exempt from all the ‘normal rules’. It can land on reels 2-4-5, 1-2-5, 3-4-5, or 2-3-4 to count as a 3-symbol combination win. In short, as long as there are 3, 4 or 5 anywhere on the reels, it will pay according to the pay table.
Play the Yggdrasil Slot: You can find online casinos with the new Book Hotfire slot available on Yggdrasil online casinos here.

Regular Symbols & Payouts
You have 4 high paying symbols to link up winning combinations of 2, 3, 4 or 5 symbols. There are also 5 lower paying symbols that pay when you line up 3, 4 or 5 alike symbols on a pay line. Furthermore, the Book Hotfire video slot also pays when 3, 4 or 5 ‘Book’ scatter symbols land anywhere in view.
| Symbol | Payout |
|---|---|
| Sphinx | 1x, 10x, 100x, 500x |
| Horus | 0.5x, 4x, 40x, 200x |
| Anubis | 0.5x, 3x, 10x, 75x |
| The Eye of Ra | 0.5x, 3x, 10x, 75x |

| Q, 10 or J | 0.5x, 2.5x, 10x |
Rounding Up Book Hotfire – High Paying Symbols & Plenty of Bonus Action!
One of the first things that stands out on the Book Hotfire video slot is the high paying symbols. Landing the Sphinx 5 times across a pay line dishes out a mega 500x spin bet multipliers. I also like the fact that AceRun has included the book as a wild and scatter, although that may not seem obvious when you first glance at the paytable. Another point worth noting is the Ra symbol makes an appearance while we get see the other traditional Egyptian characters. Just be sure to hold on for that free spins round because this is where the big wins via the wheel, high paying symbol combination wins and retriggers will build up your online casino bankroll.
