Expert opinions and recommendations
Book of Demi Gods II — this is a reliable choice for fans of the 'Book' genre. Its advantages over analogs — in higher potential wins (up to x5000) and pure realization of expanding symbols mechanics.
Recommendations
- Play with the minimum bet in the base game to trigger a session.
- Do not use 'Buy Feature' with RTP below 95% — mathematically this is unprofitable.
- Ideal for short, intense sessions with bonus anticipation.
Mathematical model
- RTP: up to 96.14% (depending on the operator).
- Volatility: high — frequent 'dry' spins, but large payouts in the bonus.
- Chances of winning:
- Base game: low payout frequency (~15–20% of spins).
- Free spins: high potential thanks to the expanding symbol.
- Probability of bonus activation: ~1 in 200 spins.
Compared to analogs
- Book of Dead (Play’n GO): higher volatility, but max. win x5000 against x10000 at Book of Dead; RTP lower (96.14% vs 96.21%).
- Gates of Olympus (Pragmatic Play): grid format (6x5), multipliers up to x500x, but less predictable mechanics.
- Rise of Olympus (Play’n GO): cascading payouts and three gods with unique abilities — more complex in understanding, but more interesting in the long-term perspective.
