Big Bam-Book Slot (Push Gaming)

The Big Bam-Book slot is played on a 4x4 grid, and it has 10 paylines. Landing 3 or more matching symbols from left to right on adjacent reels will lead to a winning combination. The winning symbols need to start from the leftmost reel. However,  it’s 2 or more matching symbols for the highest value symbol, the enigmatic Panda.

Bets for this game start at 20p and go up to £100. You can adjust your bet amount using the coin symbol. Non-UK players can utilise the Autoplay function.

The RTP rate is 96.31%, which is nicely above the online average of 96%. However, a rate of 94.42% is also available to operators so it’s best to have a look around.

You’ll find a volatility rating of 'high' and a maximum win of 10,000 x the bet.

The setting for the Big Bam-Book slot game is a serene mountaintop village in rural Asia where animal warriors embark on a quest to collect ancient books. These magical books are key to advancing through the levels of the Free Spins bonus game.

The atmosphere reflects the serene setting, with soothing music dominated by woodwind instruments and the gentle sound of birds chirping in the background. The visuals are of high quality, featuring pagodas in the distance, bathed in warm shades of purple and pink.

During the Free Spins bonus round, you enter through a grand door adorned in gold and jade. This feature takes place at a higher elevation on the mountain, with a multiplier meter visible next to the grid. The grid itself is framed by wooden borders, showcasing the animal warriors and their chosen weapons as symbols.

Big Bam-Book Mobile

Like most modern-day slot games, Big Bam-Book looks fantastic whichever device you prefer to use. The HTML5 technology ensures that the game plays well on all Android and iOS devices. Tablets and desktop devices are also a good option.

There are 5 bonus features to enjoy as part of the Big Bam-Book slot game.

Mystery Bamboo Symbol

During the base game and Free Spins feature, 3 or more Mystery Bamboo symbols trigger the Mystery Bamboo Expansion. 

Once the Mystery Bamboo feature is triggered, the Mystery Bamboo symbols expand to fill each reel that they land on like you can see in the below screenshot. The Mystery Bamboo feature will either convert the Mystery Bamboo symbols to Golden Mystery Bamboo symbols, which reveal Instant Prizes, or the Mystery Bamboo symbols will all turn into the same Paying symbol, which can potentially award a win.

Golden Mystery Bamboo Symbols

Each Golden Mystery Mystery Bamboo symbol will reveal Instant Prize symbols which are the coin symbols on the grid and have values ranging between 1x - 100x each. During the base game, the Golden Mystery Bamboo symbols can reveal Scatters.

Free Spins

The number of Scatters you land dictates how many free spins you receive and where you start on the multiplier meter next to the grid.

 Whenever a magical book Scatter lands during the free spins round, it is added to the multiplier meter. You need 4 Scatters to progress to the next level in the meter.

When Instant Prizes are awarded from Golden Mystery Bamboo symbols,  multipliers can be added.

If you’re not UK-based, you can buy yourself some free spins, the details of this are below:

Push Bet

There are 3 ‘push bet’ options which increase your chance of winning. Here are the details and the cost:

The Big Bam-Book slot offers impressive graphics and a charming theme. If you were a fan of the 2022 hit  Big Bamboo, you’ll likely enjoy this release too. You are reunited with the familiar Mr. Panda and encounter Mystery Bamboo and Golden Bamboo symbols, along with an engaging free spins bonus round.

Unfortunately, the max win has reduced from 50,000x to 10,000x for this game.  And the Instant Prize symbols went up to 5,000x last time but are, alas, 100x this time. But swings and roundabouts and all that…the RTP has increased from 96.13% to 93.31%. 

Personally, Asian-themed games are not top of my list, probably due to the sheer volume of them available. But this is one of the better ones, as Push Gaming tends to create high-quality games, you can read more about the best Push Gaming slots. The stacked bamboo symbols are visually striking on the reels, and when they expand, it grabs your attention. The Mystery Bamboo feature adds an extra layer of excitement, either converting the symbols into Golden Mystery Bamboo symbols for Instant Prizes or turning them into the same paying symbol, which ramps up the anticipation.

The Free Spins feature is a highlight, easy to follow, and enjoyable, especially as the multiplier meter grows, adding to the fun. You can really work your way up the meter once you start landing the Scatter book symbols during each level of the feature.

If slots with a magical book element are up your street, you’ll enjoy the hugely popular ‘Book of.. ' slot series. At OLBG, we’ve written a guide to the top 10 book of slot games.

Big Bam-Book doesn't have the same pizazz as Big Bamboo, and the max win and multipliers are less impressive. However, judging it on its own merit, it’s an entertaining game nonetheless, with great graphics and fun features.
