Dawn of Kings slot overview

Dawn of Kings is a Hacksaw Gaming slot following Amy Dawn through a temple of ancient kings. It uses a 5-reel, 3-row layout with payline wins and a familiar Book format, although the feature structure extends beyond a single expanding-symbol free-spins round.

The game has two main bonus levels, Book of Dawn and Triple Book of Dawn, plus Best Of versions of both. Hacksaw Gaming states a maximum win of 10,000 times the bet, achievable across all game modes.

How the Book wild triggers each bonus

The Book symbol substitutes for every paying symbol. In the base game, three or more Books also count as scatters. Three Books trigger the Book of Dawn Bonus, while four Books open the Triple Book of Dawn Bonus. Five Books trigger the Triple version and add a 1,000x cash prize.

The Best Of Bonus symbol changes the route when it lands with the required Books. Three Books alongside this symbol trigger Best of Book of Dawn. Four or five Books with it trigger Best of Triple Book of Dawn, with a five-Book combination also awarding the 1,000x cash prize.

Spreading Special symbols in the base game

The Book mechanic is not restricted to free spins. It can activate during the base game and select one random symbol as the Special symbol. Between three and five instances of that symbol then land during the spin.

Normal wins are settled before the Special symbols spread across the reels on which they appeared. Once spread, they pay anywhere and can complete paylines even when other symbols sit between them. This ordering makes it useful to watch the entire feature sequence rather than judging the spin from its initial result.

Book of Dawn Bonus rules

Landing three Book scatters starts the Book of Dawn Bonus with 10 free spins. One paying symbol is selected at the beginning as the Special symbol. The choice can be a low-paying or high-paying symbol, but it cannot be the Book. A golden frame and color change identify the selected symbol.

When the Special symbol appears on at least three reels, it spreads over those reels after ordinary wins have been awarded. Two additional Books award two extra spins, while three award four extra spins. Four Books upgrade the round to Triple Book of Dawn and add four extra spins.

What changes in Triple Book of Dawn

Four or five Book scatters in the base game activate Triple Book of Dawn with 12 free spins. Instead of selecting one Special symbol, this version chooses three paying symbols. At least one of the three will be a high-paying symbol.

Each selected symbol can spread when it lands across at least three reels. If more than one qualifies on the same spin, the symbols spread and create wins one at a time. During this bonus, two Books add two free spins and three Books add four.

How the Best Of bonuses are settled

Best of Book of Dawn consists of three complete Book of Dawn bonus rounds played consecutively. The result of each round is stored on a scoreboard beside the grid. Once all three are complete, only the highest scoreboard value is awarded and multiplied by the bet.

Best of Triple Book of Dawn follows the same comparison format but uses three Triple Book of Dawn rounds. Each run therefore begins with three selected Special symbols, including at least one high-paying choice, before the three final results are compared.

Maximum win and the five-Book prize

The stated maximum win in Dawn of Kings is 10,000x the bet, and the provider notes that it can be achieved in every game mode. This cap is separate from the specific 1,000x cash prize attached to a five-Book base-game trigger.

Five Books without the Best Of Bonus symbol start Triple Book of Dawn and award 1,000x. Five Books accompanied by the Best Of Bonus symbol instead start Best of Triple Book of Dawn, again with the 1,000x prize.

What to check in the Dawn of Kings demo

The demo is useful for learning the order of the mechanics. Look for the Book symbol acting as both wild and scatter, the golden frame around selected Special symbols, and the way normal payline wins are counted before a qualifying symbol spreads.

It is also worth distinguishing the bonus routes. Three Books lead to one Special symbol and 10 spins, while four or five lead to three Special symbols and 12 spins. A Best Of Bonus symbol changes either format into a three-round comparison in which the highest stored result becomes the final award.
