Book of Atem WowPot Review
Book of Atem WowPot has a fairly classy feel about it and you can find plenty of enjoyment here even if you aren't going for the major prizes. But the game does rely heavily on the scatter symbols, so you will find that your eye is constantly distracted as you wait for these to land.
Design
All41 Studios has done a fantastic job of creating a beautiful backdrop that sets the scene perfectly for this game. Presumably, you are standing just outside a magnificent pyramid waiting for great riches to be delivered to your door.
The slightly transparent reel set helps to make the background feel like part of the game and not just an afterthought. On the music side of things, the soundtrack is fairly stereotypical but catchy enough to accompany you without annoying you along the way. And mobile gamers will be pleased to know that the small 5x3 grid looks just as good on smaller devices as well.
Gameplay
There isn't too much to think about while playing Book of Atem WowPot. You just need to choose your wagers and hope that those scatter symbols turn up. As we mentioned before, the amount you bet will affect your chances of winning one of the 4 jackpots so don't play it too safe if you are looking for a top prize.
Not knowing if the scatter symbols will trigger the jackpot game is a bit of a double-edged sword. While it builds excitement every time a scatter symbol turns up, it also stops you from focusing on any other aspect.
The addition of expanding symbols during the free spins round is a nice touch and stops it from feeling like an obligatory feature that the studio had to add in just for the sake of it.
Win Potential
If you like big prizes, then you aren't going to get much bigger than this. The jackpot here, WowPot, is comparable with any of the major progressive jackpots in the industry and could prove to be massive!
In terms of regular wins, 5,000x is the maximum payout and with the high volatility, you can expect to see your bankroll being the subject of quite a bit of abuse. However, when the wins eventually land, they should be fairly sturdy and prop up your balance quite nicely.
Our Verdict
All41 Studios has done well not to let this title feel like just another jackpot game that has nothing else to offer. There are a couple of modifiers that keep things fresh and the fairly respectable 5,000x max win is an interesting proposition considering that the big jackpots won't come around very often. It is a good effort that looks and feels like a high-quality slot and we can certainly recommend it.
