The Slotfather – Book of Wins OverviewThe Slotfather – Book of Wins is a Betsoft slot on a 5×3 grid with 10 paylines, carrying a 96.6% RTP and high volatility. It was released on 27 June 2024. The logo adds Hold & Win underneath the title, and that is not decoration – the game runs two separate bonus features and lets you buy either one. Every figure below was read from demo play at an €8.00 bet. Theme and GraphicsThe base game is played on a street corner at night outside Salvatore’s, a lit restaurant front with tables on the pavement and a period car parked at the kerb. The Slotfather himself stands to the left of the reels in a three-piece suit, smoking, watching. The reel panel is deep burgundy inside a gold art-deco frame, so the symbols read as objects laid out on a table rather than as icons on a machine. The free spins move indoors to his study – the boss now seated with an open book, red roses on the desk, a portrait on the wall behind him. It is the same character in a different room, and it marks the change of mode without a single word of text. What the Symbols PayAt the €8.00 bet the heavy in the blue suit pays €1,600.00 for five, €320.00 for four, €32.00 for three and €4.00 for two. That top line is 200x the bet, which is a lot for a ten-line game – and the same symbol pays from two on a line, which almost nothing does. The pay table is built to reward one specific face. The other two characters – the man in the fedora and the man with the glasses and purple tie – both pay €600.00 for five (75x), €80.00 for four, €24.00 for three and €4.00 for two. Below them the objects: a stack of banknotes and a set of dominoes at €120.00 for five, then the ice bucket, the cleaver and the framed Tower of Pisa at €80.00. All three of those bottom symbols pay €4.00 for three. The Hold & Win CoinsRed coins land across the grid carrying cash values printed on their faces – the captures show 2.40 and 4.00 repeatedly, which at the €8.00 bet is 0.3x and 0.5x. When enough of them arrive the feature locks them in place and gives you respins, with three markers at the bottom of the screen counting how many are left. Every new coin resets the count. The captured feature filled almost the entire grid with coins and closed with YOU WON 42.40 – confirmed in the status bar as HOLD & WIN FEATURE WON €42.40. That is a little over five times the bet from a full board of coins, which tells you how modest the individual values are. The Book and the Free SpinsThe other feature is the one the title points at. A golden book lands on the reels in the base game, and in the round it works the way the Book of… format always does: one symbol is chosen and expands to fill the reels it appears on. The counter sits to the right of the grid on an open book, reading FREE SPINS REMAINING with the number underneath – the captures catch it at 9 and at 4. One spin shows what the expansion is worth: dominoes filling eleven of the fifteen positions with WINNER! across the status bar. The dominoes are a mid-table symbol at €120.00 for five, and a board like that pays across every line at once. The Buy FeatureBetsoft puts both features on sale, side by side, and the prices are close enough to be interesting. 10 FREE SPINS costs 672.00 and HOLD & WIN costs 640.00, against an €8.00 bet – 84x and 80x respectively. A CHOOSE YOUR BONUS header sits above the two cards, with BUY and CANCEL underneath. The 4x price difference is the game telling you which feature it rates higher. On the evidence of this session that looks right: the Hold & Win returned 42.40, while a single expanded board in the free spins paid 40.00 on its own with spins still to come. What the Session ProducedThe base game paid €20.00, €28.00 and €100.00 across the captures, and one spin is noted in the status bar as LAST SPIN WON €8.00 – exactly the stake back. The €100.00 board is the pick of them: a golden book on the middle reel next to a 2.40 coin, with characters filling the rest of the grid. Twelve and a half times the bet without a feature running. The balance moved from €928.00 down through 924.00, 916.00, 858.40 and 850.40, then dropped to €218.40 when the feature was bought. High volatility, in one line. No Published MaximumSlotCatalog carries the game but leaves max win at N/A, and Betsoft has not published a ceiling. We have not invented one. What the pay table supports is this: five of the top character is 200x, and the Hold & Win coins in this session were worth half a stake each. Whatever the true maximum is, it is built from a full grid of coins rather than from a single line. The InterfaceThe bottom bar is compact: balance and credit on the left, a bet stepper with minus and plus keys, the win figure in the centre, and a large circular spin button on the right. During a feature the spin button becomes a skip control. The pay table opens as a tabbed overlay – OPTIONS, AUTOPLAY and PAYTABLE – with all eight symbols and their price points on one scrolling page. Who Should Play ItThe Slotfather – Book of Wins suits players who want two different features in one game and the option to buy whichever they prefer. The 96.6% RTP is above average, the artwork is genuinely good, and the base game pays enough on its own to be worth playing straight. The caution is the same as with any high-volatility Betsoft title: the two buys cost 80x and 84x, and the captured Hold & Win returned barely five times the bet. Take the features when they arrive rather than paying for them. Where to Play The Slotfather – Book of WinsYou can try this game on 7gold Online Casino.
