Book Of Rampage Christmas Edition Slot Review
A frontier canyon at dusk: rust-coloured mesas under an orange-hazed sky, snow settled on the ledges, holly garland wrapped along the corral fence. Book Of Rampage Christmas Edition asks a single symbol to carry the entire game, and the Book is equal to the job, while nothing else in the build is asked to do much at all.
It comes from Spinomenal, a studio that has worked the book-of template across a very long shelf of titles, including Book Of Rampage 2 and Book Of Xmas Jingle Bells. The build is a 5×4 grid with 10 fixed paylines and an RTP of 96.14%, comfortably warmer than the frozen sequel managed. One hard-working Book, then, and a stocking that may or may not get filled.
Symbols and Pays on the Frontier
The high end of the paytable belongs to the animals of the range, with the royals filling the lower tiers. Wins pay left to right across the ten lines, and the values below are multiples of the line bet.
The backdrop does its part too. The reels sit inside that snow-dusted corral, with pine garland and blue ribbon bows framing the top and bottom of the frame, and small glowing specks drifting past the fence.
- Buffalo – 2: 10x, 3: 100x, 4: 1,000x, 5: 5,000x
- Horse – 2: 5x, 3: 40x, 4: 400x, 5: 2,000x
- Wolf – 2: 5x, 3: 30x, 4: 100x, 5: 750x
- Snake – 2: 5x, 3: 30x, 4: 100x, 5: 750x
- A / K – 3: 5x, 4: 40x, 5: 150x
- Q / J / 10 – 3: 5x, 4: 25x, 5: 100x
Notice the top-heavy shape: the Buffalo is worth two and a half times the Horse at five of a kind, and the gap only widens down the ladder. The royals share values in pairs and trios, so the A and K are effectively one tier, as are the Q, J and 10. A premium Buffalo line is the one that matters.
Only the highest win on each line pays, so every figure above is paid against the line bet rather than the total stake. With ten lines across four rows, the grid gives symbols room to stack without the crowding a 5×3 layout produces.
For players who’d rather not wait for the Books to arrive naturally, a Buy Feature button sits alongside the reels and skips straight to the free spins round. It’s the only shortcut on offer.
The Scatter Wild Book
The Book is both wild and scatter in one symbol, and it carries the entire feature set on its own. Everything it does, in the order the game applies it:
- As a wild – it substitutes for any other symbol on the lines
- As a scatter – it pays wherever it lands, on no line at all
- 3 Books anywhere – pays X2 and triggers the round
- 4 Books anywhere – pays X25 and triggers the round
- 5 Books anywhere – pays X250 and triggers the round
- Scatter prizes – paid in addition to any regular line wins from the same spin
That upfront scatter payment is the best thing the base game does, because the round has already paid for itself before a single free spin resolves. Five Books at X250 is a serious hit in its own right, and it arrives with the trigger attached.
It’s a generous piece of design for a single symbol. Most book games let the scatter pay and leave it there; this one stacks the substitution duty and the trigger duty onto the same icon, so every Book on the grid is doing three jobs at once.
Free Spins and the Wheel
Triggering with three or more Books awards 10 free spins, with the line bet carried over from the triggering spin. Before the round begins, a wheel appears loaded with every symbol except the Book itself, and one spin of that wheel picks the expanding symbol for the whole round.
The wheel is a small touch with real consequences. Landing the Buffalo as the expander sets up the biggest possible rounds; drawing a royal makes the feature noticeably flatter.
It’s a genuine swing on a single spin of a wheel you don’t control, and it’s the one moment this format hands the outcome to pure chance before the spins even start. Every other input is fixed: the spin count, the bet, the lines. The wheel is the only variable, and it decides everything.
The Expanding Symbol
After each free spin resolves, the chosen symbol expands to cover its reel positions whenever the expansion would create a win. If the expansion wouldn’t pay, the symbol stays where it is.
The expanded symbol pays across all active lines regardless of whether the winning symbols sit on consecutive reels, and those expanded wins count separately from the original result of the spin. Both results land in the balance from one spin.
That non-consecutive rule is where the money lives in this format. Enough expanders on the grid and the pays stack line on line, which is how the big rounds in a book game are built. The Buffalo covering all four rows of its reel pays on every line it touches, and the count of lines it touches can be all ten.
Retriggers
Three or more Books landing during the round retrigger it and award another 10 free spins, with the same expanding symbol carried forward. The round can chain this way more than once, and a retrigger late in a good set of spins is the difference between a decent round and a memorable one.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.1/10
Long, quiet stretches in a handsome canyon, waiting for the Book to ride into town, and then everything happening at once. That rhythm is the appeal, and this version’s edge over the studio’s chillier book slots is the merged symbol, which pays up to X250 on the trigger before the free spins have even started.
The wheel pick is the best thing in the build: because it chooses the expander before a single free spin resolves, two identical triggers can play out completely differently, and the non-consecutive pay rule means a full-reel Buffalo can hit all ten lines at once. The weakness is simply how little there is. One symbol, one round, nothing behind it, so a royal drawn at the wheel makes for a small feature with no second string anywhere in sight.
It suits players who already enjoy the book loop and want it wearing pine garland instead of frost. There is one present under this tree, and it’s a good one: the garland is real, the canyon glows, and when the Book finally lands, the rampage arrives on schedule.
