How the Game Plays

Book of Gems Megaways is Skywind's distinctive take on the classic Egyptian "Book of" genre, marking the studio's first use of the Megaways engine. Set against a backdrop of the Giza pyramids during a golden sunset, the game utilizes a 5-reel grid where the number of symbols on each reel changes with every spin. Unlike many Megaways titles that feature six reels and massive win ways, this version focuses on a more compact 5x5 maximum grid, offering up to 3,125 ways to win. The gameplay remains focused on matching Egyptian artifacts, scarabs, and explorer symbols from left to right across the dynamic reels.

Free Spins Explained

The core of the experience is triggered by landing three Book symbols on the middle three reels. This awards 10 free spins and a direct payout. Before the round begins, a random symbol is chosen to act as the special expanding symbol. During the bonus, if enough instances of this symbol land to create a win, they expand to cover their entire respective reels. Crucially, these expanded symbols pay "scatter style," meaning they do not need to be on adjacent reels to award a payout, allowing for significant win potential across the 3,125 ways.

Bonus Buy Feature

For those who prefer direct access to the main attraction, the game includes a Bonus Buy option. By paying 70x the total stake, you can bypass the base game and trigger the 10 free spins round immediately. When using this feature, the triggering spin is guaranteed to land the three required book symbols to start the expansion mechanic.
