Tom Horn Gaming, a leading iGaming software supplier, announces the release of Book of Azure, the second slot in its Max Gold series.
This Egyptian-themed online slot transports players to Ancient Egypt, combining the classic ‘Book of’ mechanic with new features designed to maximize player engagement, boost retention, and increase operator revenues.
Played on a 5-reel grid with 9 winlines, the game offers medium volatility, an RTP of 94.99%, and a maximum win potential of 500x the bet. Its blend of steady payout potential and multiple win opportunities encourages longer player sessions and repeat visits.
Classic ‘Book of’ Mechanic Meets Coin Collection
Book of Azure fuses the timeless charm of a ‘Book of’ formula with Tom Horn’s signature Shatter Mode and enhances it with a popular Coin Collection mechanic for richer gameplay. When Book symbols land in the base game, they contribute to a Coin Pot above the reels. The bonus round – 10 retriggerable free spins – can be activated by landing 3 Book symbols during Shatter Mode or randomly via the Coin Pot, adding unpredictability and fresh win potential.
Once triggered, one symbol is chosen at random to act as a special expanding symbol throughout the bonus game, expanding to cover reels when part of a winning combination. A progressive multiplier increases from x1 up to x4 during the free spins round.
Cascading Wins and Multipliers
The game’s Shatter Mode introduces fast-paced, cascading win sequences. Each win removes symbols from the reels, with new ones falling into place and a win multiplier increasing up to x4 with each consecutive cascade. The feature concludes when no new wins appear or the maximum multiplier is reached. For players eager to dive into the action, the Bonus Buy option allows instant access to free spins for 50x the total bet.
“With Book of Azure, we aimed to evolve the classic ‘book of’ gameplay by fusing it with mechanics players love – cascading wins and coin collection – while continuing Max Gold’s story,” said Ondrej Lapides, CEO at Tom Horn Gaming. “It’s an action-packed game with a familiar feel, but enough innovation to keep players coming back for more.”
Book of Azure is available to Tom Horn Gaming partners as of 14 August 2025.
