Bookie of Odds Slot Game Review
Bookie of Odds slot is developed by Triple Edge Studios and it was released on Microgaming’s collaboration platform 6 March 2020. The horse racing theme should be familiar to most gamblers out there, and you’ll benefit from a paid re-spins feature and a free spins feature with expanding symbols here. This is a high variance game, and the potential is 5000 times your stake.
It’s no denying that this Bookie of Odds slot is a clone of Triple Edge Studio’s own Book of Oz. It comes with the same 5×3 setup and 10 ways to win, and even the exact same RTP. The paid re-spins and the free spins feature is also identical to Book of Oz, and even the title is similar if you look at it. Only the theme has really changed, and maybe their hope is to compete with NetEnt’s Scudamore.
The good news is that Book of Oz is a very good game, so this makes Bookie of Odds slot a good game too, just not very original when you look under the hood. The symbols and graphics are good enough, and the potential is not bad at all. If horse racing is your thing, you might wanna choose this game over the original Oz themed slot, but that would also be the only reason to do so.
Technical details
Before we take a closer look at the fun features on Bookie of Odds slot, we thought you might want a summary of the game’s most relevant technical details:
- RTP: 96.31 %
- Variance: High
- Layout: 5×3
- Paylines: 10
- Bonus features: Free spins with expanding symbols and Paid Re-spins feature
- Bet size: 0.10 to 25
- Max win: 5,000x stake
The RTP is kind of average, but it will increase to 96.5% if you take advantage of the Paid Re-spins feature. Nothing spectacular in other words, but still a bit above the industry standard. This is also a highly volatile slot, and you need to take some precautions when you decide on your bet level. This way you can keep yourself afloat, while waiting for those big wins to roll in.
Symbols and paytable
As you can imagine, Bookie of Odds slot comes with different horse racing related symbols. The Bookie himself is the highest paying symbol, and then you have 3 different high-value Horse/Jockey symbols. You need to land 3 to 5 symbols on a payline to win:
- The Bookie – Pays out 500x your stake for 5 on a payline
The Red Horse – Pays 200x your stake for 5 on a payline
The Purple Horse – Pays 75x your stake for 5 on a payline
The Blue Horse – Pays 75x your take for 5 on a payline
A, K, Q, J and 10 – Low value symbols that pay between 15x and 10x
Bookie of Odds Slot Game Bonus features
You’ll notice a Re-spin button below each reel, and you can pay a little fee to re-spin any given reel you want to get yourself a winning combo. The price for each re-spin will vary according to what symbols you already see on the screen, and there is no limit to how many times you can re-spin the reels in order to chase a winning combo (or trigger the free spins feature).
Free Spins
The Horse Racing Book symbol acts as both the Wild and the Scatter symbol on Bookie of Odds, and you could argue that it’s the most important symbol in the game. When you land 3, 4 or 5 of this symbol you’ll win 2x, 20x or 200x your stake, and you’ll also trigger the all-important Free Spins feature.
You’ll then be rewarded with 10, 12 or 25 free spins, respectively, and you can also re-trigger this feature as many times as you can manage. In other words, there is an “unlimited” amount of free spins up for grabs here (at least in theory). One symbol will be chosen randomly, and this will expand to cover a full reel. If you land several of this expanding symbol you can get some good payouts here.
Jackpot or max win
There is no progressive jackpot on Bookie of Odds, and not a local one either. However, this is a high variance game with a pretty decent max win of 5,000 times your stake. This amounts to £125,000 if you play with the highest stake of £25 per bet. Not a bad potential at all from Triple Edge Studios on this game.
Bookie of Odds Slot on Mobile
You can certainly play Bookie of Odds slot on both mobile and tablet, and anything else would be a surprise in this day and age. This is a fun game to bring with you wherever life takes you, and you can enjoy some nice winnings on Android devices as well as on iPhone and iPad.
Conclusion
Bookie of Odds is a complete copycat of Triple Edge Studios’ best game to date, namely Book of Oz. If you don’t mind this fact, and most will probably not, Bookie of Oz is a solid game (just like the one it was based upon). The mechanics are the same, and so are the game features. We really like the paid re-spins per reel feature, which is a nice innovation.
Probably, there will be many players who prefer the horse racing theme compared to the Wizard of Oz theme, and now you get to choose what you like. Some might accuse Triple Edge of being lazy, but in this business, you are allowed to milk a nice successful slot a little bit by changing the “skin” and re-branding it as a totally new game. It’s just how things are done, and we don’t mind too much as long as the game is solid.
Pros
- Chase wins with paid re-spins for each reel
- “Unlimited” free spins feature with expanding symbol
- Win up to 5,000x your stake
Cons
- An exact copy of Book of Oz
