Book of Claws Slot Review
If you’ve read some of my reviews, you’ll know that I lived most of my life in South Africa 🇿🇦. Saffas – as they call themselves – are big into sport, and when they’re not shooting their girlfriends who are hiding in the bathroom, they manage to stir up other controversies.
Take middle-distance runner Caster Semenya, for example. She famously had to undergo sex testing at the 2009 World Championships where it was determined that she has testosterone levels in the typical male range. 💪
Now, I won’t get into a debate about gender or who should participate in which sporting event. I only went down this road because I wanted to make a point: sometimes the combination of factors yields impressive results. 🧬
And bringing elements together is what Clawbuster has done in Book of Claws slot.
Gameplay
Now this is very interesting. In the past, Clawbuster only produced games based on those claw machines you found in brick-and-mortar casinos. Well, Book of Claws slot – as you might have guessed – is a slot game that includes some claw game elements.
Two claws are hovering above the 5-reel grid, waiting to pull symbols (just not Scatters) above the grid. But I’ll tell you about this in the features section.
The setting is Ancient Egypt (yawn) but at least it looks rather funky, and the ladies might enjoy the Bradley Cooper-looking fella. Even though this is a “Book of” game, you still get Scatters and Wilds that are independent of each other.
Book of Claws slot offers 10 fixed paylines, a 96% RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate., and a very high volatility rate. The top payout is $250,000, but the most amazing thing about the game is that it has a 50,000x max multiplier!
Features
CLAWED SYMBOL FEATURE:
When the claws grab a special symbol, it expands to cover the entire reel and pays on non-adjacent reels. If the claws grab a regular symbol, that symbol will only fully expand for a single spin.
Well, that’s what the studio says on the info page. In reality, the symbols don’t expand. You just get an extra symbol that can link up to existing ones on the grid to form a win.
But claws can also grab fresh air, so there are no guarantees. You get the Clawed Symbols feature during Free Spins and Super Free Spins.
FREE SPINS:
Land 3, 4, or 5 Book Scatters to trigger 10, 13, or 16 Free Spins.
SUPER FREE SPINS:
Land 6 Book Scatters to trigger 20 spins and 1 claw is guaranteed to be grabbed by a claw per spin. Land 7 Scatters and you also get 20 spins, but now you’re guaranteed 2 claws grabbing 2 symbols for each Free Spin.
During this round, only high-paying symbols will appear in both instances.
You can score additional spins during the round: 3, 4, or 5 extra Scatters award 10 more spins.
ANTE BETS:
There are two types of Ante Bets: the Claw bet and the Scatter bet, and you can have both active at the same time, should you wish it.
Claw Bet:
This bad boy will cost you 20% of your bet, but in return, you’re twice as likely to land Claw Scatters during the base game.
Scatter Bet:
This option costs you double your bet, but now the Scatters will pay up far more when they land:
- 1 Scatter pays 0.5x
- 2 Scatters pay 4x
- 3 Scatters pay 40x
- 4 Scatters pay 100x
- 5 Scatters pay 1,000x
- 6 Scatters pay 10,000x
- 7 Scatters pay 40,000x
But if you thought that was impressive, wait till you read what the maximum multiplier is below!
BUY BONUS:
Once again, there are 2 choices: pay 90x your base bet for entry into the Free Spins round.
Alternatively, pay 1,000x the base bet (gulp) and you’ll have a 14.4% chance of landing 3 Claw Scatters, a 25% chance of landing 4 Scatters, a 50% chance of hitting 5 Scatters, a 6.6% chance of nailing 6 Scatters, or a 4% chance you could land 7 Scatters.
Performance
Performance wasn’t an issue with this game – it performed equally well across all my devices and browsers.
Maximum Win
You only need to bet a maximum of 5 bucks ($5) to be in the running for the $250,000 potential payout, and that’s thanks wholly to the leviathan-sized 50,000x max multiplier. As for the minimum bet, that’s $0.10.
Conclusion
Yeah so as I say, I was surprised by this game – in a good way. I like the combination of claw and slot elements, and of course I’m a fan of Buy Bonus options and Ante Bets.
The second Buy Bonus is ludicrously expensive, but that’s what you get when you have a 50,000x max multiplier and a quarter of a mil on the line.
I appreciate how Clawbuster pushes boundaries and is looking to offer something unique to its customers
