Key Features

Book Symbol

The Book symbol has a dual function. It acts as a Wild, substituting for all paying symbols, and also as a Scatter symbol. When three or more Book symbols appear together in the base game, they activate different bonus game features:

  • 3 Book symbols: Activate the Book of Dawn Bonus.
  • 4 Book symbols: Trigger the Triple Book of Dawn Bonus.
  • 5 Book symbols: Award the Triple Book of Dawn Bonus and grant a 1,000x cash prize.
  • 3 Book symbols plus Best of Bonus symbol: Unlock the Best of Book of Dawn Bonus.
  • 4 Book symbols plus Best of Bonus symbol: Activate the Best of Triple Book of Dawn Bonus.
  • 5 Book symbols plus Best of Bonus symbol: Start the Best of Triple Book of Dawn Bonus and award a 1,000x cash prize.

Base Game Book Mechanic

During the base game, there is a chance for the Book mechanic to trigger. If activated, a random symbol becomes the Special symbol, and three to five instances of this symbol will land in the spin. Special symbols then expand to fill the reels on which they land, after all standard wins are awarded. Once expanded, Special symbols pay anywhere along paylines, even if separated by other symbols.

Bonus Features

Book of Dawn Bonus

Triggered by landing three Book scatter symbols in a single spin, this bonus round awards 10 free spins. At the start, one paying symbol is selected at random as the Special symbol. When the Special symbol appears on at least three reels during a spin, it expands to cover its reels following the standard win calculation. These Special symbols can complete paylines from any position. Only low or high-paying symbols may be chosen; the Book symbol is excluded. Chosen symbols are highlighted with a golden frame.

Additional Book scatter symbols during the round grant extra spins:

  • 2 Book scatter symbols: 2 extra spins
  • 3 Book scatter symbols: 4 extra spins

If four Book scatter symbols land at once, the feature upgrades to the Triple Book of Dawn Bonus and provides 4 extra spins.

Triple Book of Dawn Bonus

This bonus is triggered by landing four or five Book scatter symbols. Players receive 12 free spins. At the beginning of this feature, three paying symbols are randomly selected as Special symbols, with at least one guaranteed to be a high-paying symbol. When more than one Special symbol lands on at least three reels in a spin, each expands and pays separately.

During the feature, landing additional Book scatter symbols awards extra spins:

  • 2 Book scatter symbols: 2 extra spins
  • 3 Book scatter symbols: 4 extra spins

Best of Book of Dawn Bonus

If three Book scatter symbols and a Best of Bonus symbol appear together, the Best of Book of Dawn Bonus begins. This feature plays out three Book of Dawn Bonus rounds consecutively, each result saved on a scoreboard. After the third round, the highest score on the scoreboard is awarded.

Best of Triple Book of Dawn Bonus

This bonus is triggered by four or five Book scatter symbols with the Best of Bonus symbol. Here, three Triple Book of Dawn Bonus rounds are played in succession, with each result recorded. The final reward is the highest win from the three rounds.

Winning Combinations and Paylines

Wins are achieved when matching symbols land along one of the 13 fixed paylines, starting from the leftmost reel and proceeding in succession. The requirements for a win in the base game apply to bonus and free spin rounds unless stated otherwise. Only the highest win per payline is paid out. Complete payline details and symbol payouts can be reviewed in the in-game paytable.

Gameplay Information

  • Balance: Your available balance is shown prominently, reflecting your current funds in the chosen currency.
  • Bet: The chosen bet is displayed in the BET field, and can be adjusted as desired within the permitted range.

Free Spins Display

During free spins, the win for each spin appears in the WIN field, while the running total for the bonus round is shown as TOTAL WIN, along with the number of free spins remaining.

Maximum Win Details

The highest possible win in Dawn of Kings is 10,000 times your bet. If this amount is reached, a notification displays and the round concludes immediately, with the corresponding winnings awarded. Should this occur within a free spins or bonus round, the feature ends and any remaining spins or extra features are forfeit.
