Now that I've shared the summary, intro, graphics, music, and sound effects with you, I'll tell you about the key game features next.
At OLBG, we create online slot game reviews that include up-to-date information about essential features such as the theme, paylines and reels, bet range, and bonuses. I’ll complete the slot game review by talking about my play experience, first impressions, and expert verdict.
Theme - Ancient Egypt
Amy's adventure takes place in the depths of an ancient temple, so the base game is played in a gloomy, cavernous room. The only light you can see comes from the flames of Amy's torch. However, you can see the outline of an abundance of coins so she is well on her way to an exciting discovery. When the 4 bonus rounds are activated, you're transported to an altogether brighter part of the temple. Here the ancient King's treasures have been discovered so the screen is bathed in dazzling gold.
The grid has been designed to be part of the temple, and it looks like a grand affair with plenty of golden hues. You’ll probably recognise the 'ankh' which is the cross with the loop at the top which is a famous Egyptian symbol. The reels have been carved into ancient stone to complete the antiquated look. The higher value symbols include a green scarab, an Egyptian Goddess, an Egyptian God and Amy. These are then followed by the usual lower paying symbols.
Reels
The Dawn of Kings slot game has the classic setup of 5 reels by 3 rows.
Paylines
There are 13 paylines available for the Dawn of Kings game.
RTP
The acronym RTP means 'return to player' and it's a way of telling players theoretically what percentage of their stakes will be returned to them over the long term. The figure is usually somewhere between 94% and 96%. Nowadays you should expect to see 96% or more, Dawn of Kings is 96.24% which is slightly above average.
Hacksaw Gaming like many slot providers, offer operators a range of RTP rates so if you look around you’ll find different rates. We’ve identified a few RTPs from some of the popular UK online casino sites and added these to our table below.
When deciding which site to play at there are a few factors to think about including payment options, game library, customer support and welcome bonuses and deals. You can take a look at our casino reviews which analyse these details and much more.

Wild Symbol
The Book symbol represents the Wild symbol and it substitutes for all paying symbols. When more than two Book symbols land at the same time in the base game, they are also scatter symbols and they trigger the bonus games which you can read more about in the free spins section below.
Free Spins
There are 4 free spins bonus rounds for the Dawn of Kings game.
- First up is the Book of Dawn bonus round, which is triggered by landing 3 Book symbol scatters. During this round, you'll receive 10 free spins. At the start of the round, 1 paying symbol is randomly chosen to be the Special symbol. When the Special symbol lands on at least 3 reels at the same time, the special symbol will spread to cover the reels that they landed on. After spreading, special symbols pay anywhere and can form paylines even if there are other symbols between them. Selected symbols are displayed with a golden frame and colour change. If you land additional Book scatter symbols at the same time during the feature, you'll receive additional free spins: 2 Book scatter symbols = 2 extra spins, 3 Book scatter symbols = 4 extra spins and 4 Book scatter symbols at the same time = upgrade to the Triple Book of Dawn bonus and awards 4 extra spins.
- Secondly, the Triple Book of Dawn bonus round is triggered by landing 4 or 5 Book scatter symbols and here you'll receive 12 free spins. This feature keeps the mechanics of the Book of Dawn bonus, but instead, 3 paying symbols are randomly chosen to be the Special symbols. At least one of the randomly chosen symbols will be a high-paying symbol. If more than one Special symbol lands on at least 3 reels during the same spin, they spread and create wins one at a time. Landing additional Book scatter symbols at the same time during the feature awards additional free spins: 2 Book scatter symbols = 2 extra spins, and 3 Book scatter symbols = 4 extra spins.
- The Best of Book of Dawn is third on the list and is triggered by 3 Book scatter symbols as well as a Best of Bonus scatter symbol. This bonus round awards 3 Book of Dawn bonus features in a row before storing the result on the scoreboard next to the grid. At the end of the third and final Boof of Dawn Bonus, the highest value from the scoreboard is awarded and multiplied with your bet to determine the final win amount.
- And last but certainly not least! There's the Best of Triple Book of Dawn Bonus. When 4 or 5 Book scatter symbols land at the same time as a Best of Bonus scatter symbol, you enter this top bonus round. This feature awards three Triple Book of Dawn Bonus Bonus features in a row, playing them out in full before storing the result on the scoreboard next to the grid. At the end of the third and final Triple Book of Dawn Bonus Bonus, the highest value from the scoreboard is awarded and multiplied with your bet to determine the final win amount.
Play Experience & First Impressions
When reading the info on the bonus games there was quite a bit of word repetition. I’m looking at you 'dawn' and 'book!' But in actual fact, the games were straightforward to follow. The higher-level bonus games repeated the mechanisms of the lower-level games but with added extras to give opportunities to win. And the scoreboard next to the grid was helpful. These rounds were entertaining and could certainly bring potential wins
As well as the bonus games, there is also the Book Mechanic feature which takes place in the base game. Here, a random symbol is chosen to be the Special symbol. And then, 3-5 instances of the Special symbol land during the spin. The Special symbols then spread to cover the reels that they landed on. This was a cool feature and visually looked impressive on the reels.
