How to Play Book of Africra
Five steps take you from your opening spin to the 7,500x ceiling. No slot experience needed — you just need to know how the gold coins fill the pots.
Once you've got the basics down, the payouts come from the Book of Africra bonus features and how each one triggers.
Set Your Bet
Fire up Book of Africra and dial your stake anywhere from $0.10 up to $100. This one runs high on variance, so a smaller bet stretches the session — you'll want the patience to fill a pot for the Free Spins trigger. Your stake covers all 10 Lines at once, and there's no way to switch any of them off.
Spin and Collect Coins
Tap spin, or set autoplay running. The 5x3 grid sits under six symbol pots, one per reel symbol. Gold coins land stuck to symbols on any spin and drop into the pot for that symbol. Line wins pay left to right along the 10 Lines; the higher-tier god symbols hold the real value, while the card royals (A, K, Q, J, 10) just tide you over between features.
Fill a Symbol Pot
Keep the coins coming and a pot eventually fills. Complete any of the six pots and that symbol turns active — flagged to expand once the Free Spins begin. Fill more than one before the bonus and you head in with several active symbols at once, which is exactly what you want.
Free Spins with Expanding Symbols
Any filled pot triggers the Free Spins with its symbol active. During the round, every active symbol grows to fill whole reels and awards scattered pays across all 10 lines wherever it lands. Coins keep dropping, so fresh pots can complete mid-bonus and switch on even more expanding symbols — the more that stack, the bigger the round.
Buy the Feature (Where Allowed)
Don't want to grind the pots? Where regulations permit, Book of Africra offers two Buy Feature modes: a standard buy that starts the bonus with one guaranteed active symbol, or a Mega buy that opens with two — one of them guaranteed high. Both carry the same long-run RTP as the natural trigger, and the game caps out at 7,500x your stake.
Symbol Paytable
Check what each symbol pays before you commit. The premium god symbols do the heavy lifting — card royals are just placeholders while you fill the pots.
Bonus Features Explained
Every feature behaves its own way. Here's what actually unfolds once one fires — straight talk, no sales pitch.
Symbol Pots & Gold Coins
Six pots sit above the reels, one per symbol. Gold coins land stuck to symbols and slide into the matching pot. Fill a pot and that symbol turns active, lined up to expand once the free spins kick in.
Expanding Symbols
Every activated symbol becomes an expanding symbol in the bonus. Land it across enough reels for a win and those reels fill top to bottom, paying across all 10 lines no matter where the symbol sits.
AfricRa Free Spins
Activate a pot and you're into 10 free spins. Coins keep dropping inside the feature, and retriggering an active pot tacks on 6 more spins each time it happens.
Multi-Symbol Progression
Start the bonus with one expanding symbol and it rarely stays that way. Fresh pots fill mid-round, switching on more active symbols until several stretch at once. That's where the 7,500x hits come from.
Quick Strategy Tips
Bankroll first. High variance brings dry spells where the pots creep up slowly and little lands in cash. Plan for at least 200-300 spins at whatever stake you pick to give a pot time to fill. Betting at $0.10 a spin, that's roughly a $20-30 session.
Chase the premium pots. You have a say here — the symbol that expands is whichever pot you complete. A near-full premium pot is worth chasing, since a top symbol filling reels pays far more than a low one. Watch which pots sit closest to the brim and steer your session toward them.
Keep the coins coming. Coins land in the bonus too, so pots you didn't finish in the base game can complete mid-round. Each fresh pot switches on another expanding symbol, and several premiums growing on one spin across all 10 lines is where the 7,500x ceiling lives.
Weigh the Buy Feature. Where it's allowed, a standard buy guarantees one active symbol and the Mega buy opens with two. Handy if you don't want to grind the pots — but both share the same RTP as the free trigger, so they cost more up front without bending the odds. Size the buy so a run of flat bonuses can't clear you out.
