Spearhead Studios is pleased to announce the launch of the bespoke title Book of Gates on the successful German casino operator Wunderino. The new slot release sees British explorer, Sir Percy Forcet, on a quest to discover the treasures hidden deep inside the tomb of a powerful pharaoh, using the ancient Egyptian scroll as his guide.

Book of Gates was specially developed to rise to the high expectations of Wunderino’s players. The title has high-volatility and features a 5X3 videoslot with ten paylines and a maximum win of over 11,000X.

Book of Gates sets the player in the awe-inspiring subterranean tomb of the ancient pharaohs, complete with rich stone carvings, golden flourishes and eternal flames. The environment comes to life when the bonus game is triggered, leaving the player in no doubt that they are now battling with the Egyptian spirits in a quest to discover their secret treasures.

Mathias Larsson, Managing Director of Spearhead Studios, says: “We are very pleased to have released a bespoke game for Wunderino. It’s been a great pleasure working with them on Book of Gates, and we are looking forward to developing additional slot titles for Wunderino and other clients.”

Tobias Carlsson, CEO of ROL Malta, comments: “We are constantly trying to improve the content-experience for players in our markets. Partnering up with Spearhead was the right move for us to explore how we can take a bigger role in that process going forward.”

As well as pushing the graphical presentation to new levels, Spearhead Studios put considerable effort into creating a bespoke soundscape for the game; one that truly conveys the presence of the pharaohs, and the quest that our hero is embarked upon. As with all Spearhead Studios’ games, Book of Gates was designed to be fully enjoyed on mobile devices and has been optimised to minimise file size and loading times for an enjoyable player experience.

In the free spins bonus game, a special symbol is selected which then acts as an expanding scatter and can generate big payouts. All base and feature wins can be entered into the Gamble Ladder to potentially increase them up to €30,000.
