Book Of Rampage Reloaded Slot Review
Red mesas, weathered fencing and a cactus standing by the reels: this is a ranch at dusk, painted warm and hand-drawn rather than rendered. Book Of Rampage Reloaded asks a lot of that scenery, because it gives you only five lines to work with and takes a bigger cut of every spin than almost anything on a UK shelf – an RTP of 93.35% on a 5×3 grid is a bold pairing with such a lean format. Spinomenal built it, and the case for playing it rests on one symbol: the Book that pays on arrival and then runs the whole bonus round.
It sits on a crowded shelf in the studio’s book-of catalogue, alongside Book of Rampage 2, Majestic Wild Buffalo and Book of the Night Wolf. Five lines, one Book and a sunset: whether that adds up is what follows.
Five Lines Across the Ranch
Five paylines on a 5×3 grid is a deliberately tight setup. Wins land left to right from the leftmost reel, and only the highest combination on each line pays, so a line never stacks two prizes. Every win is multiplied by the bet per line.
With so few routes through the reels, the premium symbols do the heavy lifting. The paytable pays as multiples of the bet per line:
- Buffalo/Bull – 10x for two, 100x for three, 1,000x for four, 10,000x for five
- Horse – 5x for two, 50x for three, 500x for four, 5,000x for five
- Wolf and Snake – 5x for two, 10x for three, 100x for four, 1,000x for five
- A and K – 5x for three, 40x for four, 150x for five
- Q, J and 10 – 5x for three, 25x for four, 100x for five
That top run matters on a five-liner. Five Buffaloes across a single line pay 10,000x the line bet, the game’s peak prize. The Buffalo and Horse both pay from two-of-a-kind as well, which softens the long gaps between full combinations.
The animal tier is where the money lives. The Wolf and Snake pay identically, so there are effectively three premium creatures and two mid-tier pairs, with the royals filling the bottom of the ladder. A five-of-a-kind Buffalo is worth a hundred times a five-of-a-kind Queen.
The Book is the wild and it substitutes for every symbol, but it carries a second job that changes how the base game plays, which we’ll come to below. There’s also a buy feature button in the interface, covered further down.
Scatter Wilds, Free Spins and the Expanding Symbol
The Book as Scatter Wild
The Book doesn’t just substitute for other symbols, it also works as a scatter. Three or more scattered Books anywhere on the reels pay immediately, and the same combination triggers the free spins round. The scatter awards look like this:
- Three Books – 2x the line bet, plus 10 free spins
- Four Books – 25x the line bet, plus 10 free spins
- Five Books – 250x the line bet, plus 10 free spins
The bet per line stays the same as the game that triggered the round, so nothing changes about the stakes mid-feature. That instant scatter pay before the round even begins is the sharpest thing in the build.
The Expanding Symbol Wheel
When free spins trigger, a wheel appears stocked only with the game’s medium symbols. Spin it, and whichever symbol it lands on becomes the expanding symbol for the whole round, so the round’s character is decided by a single wheel spin rather than left to chance on every free spin.
It’s a small difference from the usual book-of formula, where the expanding symbol is drawn at random after the trigger. Here you watch the wheel stop and know immediately what you’re working with for the next ten spins.
How the Expansion Pays
After each free spin’s result is determined, the expanding symbol stretches to form new paylines on top of the existing ones. It only expands when the expansion creates a win, and it pays across all active lines whether or not the winning symbols sit on consecutive reels.
Expanded symbols also count separately from the original spin result, so a single free spin can pay twice: once for the line wins, once for the expansion. Because the wheel draws from the medium tier rather than the Buffalo, the expansion’s ceiling is lower than the base paytable’s top, but it repeats across every spin of the round.
Free spins can retrigger too, adding another ten spins to the tally. The bet per line carries over unchanged, and the same expanding symbol keeps its job for the extra spins.
Buy Feature
A buy feature button sits in the interface and skips the scatter hunt, taking you straight into the free spins round. No price is printed anywhere in the game’s own material, so check the button at your chosen casino before committing.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 6.3/10
Playing this one is a lot of waiting under a very nice sky. Five lines means most spins resolve in a second or two, and the reason to sit through the quiet stretches is the Book: it’s the only symbol that pays before the bonus has even started, and everything good here flows from it landing three, four or five times at once.
That scatter-wild is the strength. Up to 250x the line bet on the trigger spin, then a wheel-picked expanding symbol that pays separately from the line result on every one of ten spins – the round has real layers for such a lean game. The wheel choosing a medium symbol keeps the ceiling honest, but the retrigger means a good round can grow.
The cost is the weakness: the return is several points below the going rate for UK slots, charged on every spin, and no expanding symbol refunds it. Anyone who enjoys five-line classics and the book-of loop will find the dusk ranch easy on the eyes while the reels grind. Where the paytable percentage decides the choice, the sunset here won’t hide the number.
