Lucky Jack Book Of Rebirth Egyptian Darkness Slot Review
Violet flames burn in gold torch stands either side of the reels, a pale moon hanging over dunes that fade into purple night. There’s no daylight anywhere in this Egyptian desert, and the game beneath the artwork matches it: dark, ornate, and interested in exactly one thing. Lucky Jack Book Of Rebirth Egyptian Darkness is Spinomenal‘s entry in a Book-stacked corner of their catalogue that also holds Book Of Rebirth Extreme and Book Of Lucky Jack Baba Yaga’s Tales.
It runs on a 5×3 grid with 10 fixed paylines and an RTP of 96.01%. The detail that decides whether this one is worth a spin: the expanding symbol in free spins is redrawn on every single spin, never locked in at the trigger. That one choice is what the whole game hangs on.
Symbols and Pays
All symbols pay left to right from the leftmost reel, only the highest win on each line counts, and wins are multiplied by the bet per line. Ten fixed lines carry every win in the game.
The cast sits comfortably inside the theme. Jack, the hat-wearing adventurer, leads the pays, with the Bastet cat, a scarab bird and the ankh key behind him. The royals – A, K, Q, J and 10 – fill out the bottom of the table, and they pay only from three of a kind upwards. None of the regular symbols pays for two.
The paytable itself is top-heavy in the classic Book-slot way. One symbol towers; everything below it drops off fast. Values are multiples of the total bet:
- Jack (adventurer) – 100x for two, 1,000x for three, 10,000x for four, 50,000x for five, 100,000x for six
- Cat (Bastet) – 50x for two, 400x for three, 4,000x for four, 20,000x for five, 40,000x for six
- Scarab/Bird – 50x for two, 300x for three, 1,000x for four, 7,500x for five, 15,000x for six
- Ankh Key – 50x for two, 300x for three, 1,000x for four, 7,500x for five, 15,000x for six
- A / K – 50x for three, 400x for four, 1,500x for five, 3,000x for six
- Q / J / 10 – 50x for three, 250x for four, 1,000x for five, 2,000x for six
The Book itself is the wild and the scatter in one. It substitutes for every symbol, and three or more scattered anywhere pay on top of any line wins:
- 3 Books – 2x the bet
- 4 Books – 25x the bet
- 5 Books – 250x the bet
- 6 Books – 500x the bet
Multiple line wins in a single round are added together, so a spin can pay on several lines at once. Scatter prizes sit outside that tally and are paid in addition to it.
Free Spins and the Expanding Symbol
Three or more scattered Books anywhere on the reels award 10 free spins, with the bet per line carried over from the triggering round. That’s the only route in, and it’s a well-trodden one.
The round’s engine is the expanding symbol, and it works on a per-spin basis. Every free spin draws a fresh expander at random from the full symbol set – everything except the scatter wild – and that symbol holds the role for the spin it was drawn on. The next spin draws again.
Once the spin’s result is determined, the expanding symbol grows to cover its reels and forms new paylines on top of the existing ones – but only where the expansion actually creates a win. No win, no expansion.
Two rules make the expansions more potent than they sound. The expanding symbol pays across all active lines whether or not its symbols sit on consecutive reels, and expanded symbols count separately from the original result. A spin that misses on the face of the reels can still pay through the expansion.
Because the symbol is redrawn every spin, no round is committed to a bad draw. A dull stretch of royal symbols can be followed by a spin where Jack expands, and six Jacks across an expanded board is the paytable’s biggest line at 100,000x the total bet. Free spins can also retrigger, awarding another 10 spins on top of whatever remains, so a round that’s running hot can keep going.
Buy Feature
There’s a buy option for players who’d rather skip the wait. The Buy Feature purchases and immediately triggers the free spins round. Clicking the button opens a window where you set the bet for the round you’re buying, and the buy price is set according to that bet – the price moves with your stake, so a bigger round costs more to buy.
Auto play and Turbo Mode are both on hand for pacing. Auto play runs continuous spins at the selected bet per line, with a configuration screen for the number of spins and a pause button to stop, and Turbo Mode shortens each round to the minimum length. Turbo can also be toggled straight from the auto play configuration screen, so there’s no need to leave the reels to speed things up.
During free spins the bet controls are disabled – the round plays out at the triggering stake. Help and settings lock up mid-spin too, and all wins for a round land in the win field. Small touches, but they keep the round’s rhythm intact once it’s running.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.1/10
Most of your time here is spent waiting for a Book under that moon, and the reels between Books pay mostly in modest royals with the odd scatter crumb of 2x to keep the balance honest. The artwork carries the quiet stretches – gold torches and violet dark do a lot of work – but the wait is the game, and anyone spinning this knows what they came for: a bonus round where nothing stays settled.
The per-spin redraw is the strength, and it’s a real one. Because no round is chained to a weak symbol, every free spin carries the same chance of drawing Jack and lighting the board up, and the non-consecutive paying rule means an expansion connects more often than it would in a stricter game. Retriggers stack another 10 spins on a round that’s already working.
The weakness is the shape around it: one feature, and a paytable where everything below the top two rows barely registers. That’s the Book formula rather than a failure of nerve, but it leaves the base game thin for anyone who wants things to do between rounds. This one’s for Book-slot regulars who like a long dark walk to a round that can erupt on any spin – the moon comes up, the flames stay lit, and the tomb pays those who wait.
