Book of Trojan Tales

Book of Trojan Tales Overview

Book of Trojan Tales is a “Book of” slot from Spinomenal, released on 17 June 2024. It plays on 5 reels and 3 rows with 10 paylines, bets run from 0.10 to 100, and the published maximum win is 5,000x the stake.

Spinomenal publishes four RTP settings – 88.94%, 91.71%, 93.96% and 96.14% – so the return depends on the version a casino runs. Our data box shows the highest of the four. No volatility rating is published by Spinomenal or listed by SlotCatalog, so we leave that field empty.

The figures below come from our own demo session, played at 2 per line for a total bet of 20, with the buy price checked at a bet of 100.

The Siege of Troy

The reels stand between two stone columns hung with red banners, with the ruins of a Greek city in the background. The story symbols come straight from the Iliad: the Trojan horse, a Spartan warrior in a bronze helmet, Helen and a temple. The low symbols are the card ranks from 10 to A, each decorated with a small helmet, shield or sword.

The Paytable

Wins are multiplied by the bet per line and paid left to right. The Trojan horse is the top symbol at 5,000 for five, 1,000 for four, 100 for three and 10 for two. The warrior pays 2,000, 400, 40 and 5, and Helen and the temple share 750, 100, 30 and 5. The A and K pay 150, 40 and 5; the Q and J start at 100 for five.

Those numbers explain the published maximum. With 10 lines, five horses on one line return 500x the total bet, and a screen full of horses covers all ten lines – 10 × 5,000 = 5,000x the total bet. The ceiling is exactly the full-screen horse win.

Lines and Stakes

The lines page shows the 10 paylines as diagrams: the three straight rows, two V shapes and five zigzag and step patterns. The footer sums up the rules: all symbols pay left to right starting with the leftmost reel, only the highest win on each winning line is paid, and wins are multiplied by the bet per line.

The stake is set per line with the plus and minus buttons, and the total bet is the line bet times ten. At 2 per line our total bet was 20, and the win box shows the line win separately from the total, so each result can be checked against the paytable at a glance.

The Book

As in every game of this family, the book is both the scatter and the wild. It substitutes for the other symbols on the lines and triggers the free spins when enough of them land. One of our base-game spins paid 30 with a book sitting on the first reel.

Free Spins with an Expanding Symbol

The congratulations screen that opens the feature spells out how it works: “You have won 10 free spins. Spin the wheel to determine which symbol will be the expanding symbol for the free spins round.” Two warrior portraits framed in gold flank the number, and a green START button launches the selection. The selector itself is a single tall reel of symbols between two gold columns, with a SPIN button beside it; the symbol that stops in the central frame becomes the expanding symbol for all ten spins.

The feature awards 10 free spins. Before they start, the game spins a wheel-like reel strip that picks the expanding symbol for the round. During the free spins that symbol grows to fill its whole reel whenever enough of it lands to pay, so it can win on every line at once.

That is where the big results come from. In our round a single spin paid 200 – 10x the 20 bet – and with four spins left the round stood at 2,200, which is 110x the stake.

Why the Symbol Choice Matters

Because the expanding symbol pays on all ten lines once it fills its reels, the value of a free spins round depends heavily on which symbol the wheel picks. The paytable shows the gap. Five horses pay 5,000 times the line bet, five warriors 2,000, and Helen or the temple 750. A card rank pays 150 or 100 at most. The premium symbols also pay for just two of a kind, which the card ranks do not, so they can expand and pay even when they land on only two reels.

The same maths explains why a round can end quietly. If a low card rank is chosen, even a full screen of it returns a fraction of what a horse would, and the result depends more on the normal line wins between expansions.

Buy Feature

The Buy Feature triggers the 10 free spins with a random expanding symbol straight away. At a bet of 100 the price was 10,400, or 104x the stake. The expanding symbol is still chosen at random, so a bought round can land on the horse or on a card rank.

What the Base Game Did

Outside the feature the game moves in small steps. Two warriors on a line paid 10, a line of As with a second small win paid 60 in total, and most spins returned less than the 20 stake. That is the usual rhythm of a “Book of” slot: the base game keeps you going, and the free spins decide the session.

Our free spins round shows how the feature builds. The game announced 10 free spins, and the selector strip turned before the first spin to choose the expanding symbol. By the time four spins were left, the running total was 2,200 on a 20 bet, and one of the individual spins had been a Big Win of 200. The buy price of 104x would have been covered by that round with spins to spare.

The Numbers to Keep in Mind

The top RTP of 96.14% is right on the market average, but the lowest version returns only 88.94%, so it is worth checking the info page in the casino before playing. The 5,000x maximum needs a full screen of horses, which in practice means the horse being chosen as the expanding symbol and landing on enough reels in the free spins.

Who Should Play It

Book of Trojan Tales suits players who already like the “Book of” format and want it with a Trojan War theme. The ten lines keep the maths simple, the expanding symbol gives every free spins round a chance of a big hit, and the demo above lets you try it first.
