Does an Irish remote betting licence cover Book of 99?+
Not automatically. Licence classes and product scope matter, so verify the operator and the specific casino catalogue under the current GRAI regime.
Why does the Ireland edition use EUR?+
EUR is the local currency context. The actual stake ladder still belongs to the version loaded by the operator and must be checked in-game.
Independent review
The 30-second verdict.
Book of 99 is most interesting for its unusually high published RTP and its visible route from 0 to 99 Books. Neither changes the basic truth: every spin is random, and the meter can outlast the budget you planned.
You expect the 99 counter to make a session predictable.
The reward at 99 Books is defined, but the time and spend needed to collect those Books are not. Progress is not a promise of profit.

Fast answers
Review, demo, Bonus Buy, app and login—without blurred meanings.
These searches often describe different things. Keeping them separate prevents a game feature from being mistaken for a casino promotion, account or operator app.
Is Book of 99 worth trying?
Yes as a free test if a 99% published RTP and classic expanding-symbol play interest you. That is not a recommendation to chase the collection meter with money.
Read the decision rules →Can it be played without a deposit?
The official fun-mode launcher uses demo credits. It is suitable for checking controls and rules, not for estimating personal win chances.
Open the demo guide →Can the Free Spins feature be bought?
Relax Gaming’s current game page documents the 3+ Book and 99-Book triggers, but no paid feature-buy route. Casino promotions are separate and have their own terms; always confirm the help panel in the version offered to you.
Inspect both game triggers →Is there a Book of 99 app or account?
This guide verifies a browser-based Relax Gaming launcher, not a standalone app or Book of 99 account. Any login belongs to the casino platform offering the game.
Check browser play →The number that made the game unusual
Why 99% is such a big deal.
Book of 99 launched as Relax Gaming’s first Book slot with a 99% RTP. Put simply, across a huge amount of play the game is designed to return €99 in prizes for every €100 wagered, leaving a theoretical €1 house edge.
Per €100 of turnover€99 designed for prizes€1 theoretical house edge
It is still not a promise for tonight. A €100 deposit does not turn into €99 on cue. Random results, sharp swings and the timing of Free Spins can leave one session far above or below that long-run average.

Turnover means every paid stake added together, including winnings you choose to spin again. It is much bigger than a starting deposit during a longer session.

Two feature entries
One chamber. Two ways in.
Both routes lead to ten Free Spins and a randomly selected expanding symbol, but the stake used by the feature is not calculated the same way.
Land the Books
Three or more Book wilds anywhere in one base-game spin start ten Free Spins at the triggering stake.
Read the full feature →Complete the collection
Every main-game Book adds one. At 99, ten Free Spins begin at a weighted average of the stakes used while collecting.
Understand the average →The promise inside the counter
Reach 99 Books. The feature starts.
The collection route does not ask the final spin to be a winner. Every Book wild that lands in the main game advances the counter, including Books collected on losing spins. When the counter reaches 99, ten Free Spins are awarded automatically.

What it does not guarantee
Books still land randomly. The meter cannot promise that you will reach 99 within one budget, a set number of spins or before you choose to stop. The collection-triggered feature uses a weighted average of the stakes attached to the collected Books.

Every collected Book remembers the stake used when it landed. Add a few groups below and you can see how that history shapes the eventual Free Spins stake.

Use this as a what-if guide to the published weighted-average rule. It cannot read a casino session or predict when Books will land, and the live game may round the final figure to an available stake step.
The payoff mechanic
See how expansion changes the screen.
A selected high symbol needs at least two instances; a low symbol needs at least three. Once qualified, reels containing it expand and can pay across all ten lines.
Try the expanding symbol
Turn matching symbols into full reels
Tap the grid to place the chosen feature symbol. Hit the required number and every reel carrying a match expands before the ten paylines are counted.

Read the screen
Five reels, ten fixed lines, one persistent left rail.
- Reel window. Winning combinations are read left to right across ten always-active paylines.
- Book wild. It substitutes for every regular symbol and also drives both Free Spins entry routes.
- Collection rail. Base-game Books move the count toward 99; the rail stays with you between paid spins in the game session.
- Feature choice. The game—not the player—selects one regular symbol to expand for the Free Spins round.
Know what landed
The paytable, without the guesswork.
The Hero tops the official €2 help-screen values, while A and K lead the card symbols. The Book has no regular line prize of its own—it is both the wild and the key to Free Spins.

Open the complete paytable →The original release
Relax Gaming rewrote the Book format in May 2021.
Released on 4 May 2021, Book of 99 paired the familiar expanding-symbol setup with a standout return figure and a second, visible feature route. That combination—not mythology alone—is why the title still has a distinct search identity.
Player questions
Before you open the book.
01What is the RTP of Book of 99?+
The published theoretical RTP is 99.00%. It is a long-run mathematical figure, not a promise for a session.
02How do Free Spins start?+
Ten Free Spins are awarded by landing three or more Book wilds, or by filling the separate collection meter with 99 Book wilds from the base game.
03Do 99 collected Books guarantee Free Spins?+
Yes. Once the collection meter reaches 99 Book wilds, the game awards ten Free Spins even if the spins that built the meter were losing spins. What is not guaranteed is how quickly the 99 Books will land or how much play it will take to reach them.
04What happens in Free Spins?+
One regular symbol is chosen for the feature. When enough of that symbol lands, every reel containing it expands and can pay across all ten lines, even without the usual left-to-right connection.
05Is the Book of 99 demo real?+
Yes. The demo on this guide loads Relax Gaming’s official fun-mode launcher. It uses no real balance and may be unavailable in some locations.
06Can the 99 meter predict when I will win?+
No. It records collected Book wilds and provides a separate route into Free Spins. It does not predict spin results or guarantee profit.

Study the feature. Try the real demo. Then decide.
Book of 99 is a game of chance. Its 99% RTP is meaningful over the long run, but no meter, symbol or session plan can make a random spin predictable.
