Green Jade launches Book of Babylon slot
Developer puts its own twist on the hugely popular “Book of” series with players offered a trove of features to help them discover their own treasures
Green Jade Games is taking players to the ancient city of Babylon where they must seek out a mysterious and powerful book that once opened has the potential to deliver incredible treasures and big wins.
Book of Babylon aims to leverage the success of the hugely popular “Book of” series and feed player appetite for slots that are based on this proven formula and style. Of course, Green Jade has put its own twist on the game to ensure it delivers an engaging player experience.
Book of Babylon is a 5×3 reel, 10 payline slot that sits at the medium to high end of the volatility scale. It comes with a trove of bonus features, including Wilds, Free Spins and Expanding Symbols that can see players win up to 5,000x their wager.
The book symbols are Wild and substitute for any symbols in the base game. They also act as Scatters and pay when they land anywhere on the reels. Scatter wins are then multiplied by the bet amount. If three or more Scatters land, the Free Spins bonus is triggered.
Players receive ten Free Spins and the feature can be re-triggered up to three times. On entering Free Spins, a random symbol is chosen to be an Expanding symbol. When enough of the chosen symbol qualify for a payout, they will expand to cover their respective reel.
Expanding symbols can also appear anywhere on active lines for even more big win potential. Book of Babylon has a return to player of 96.2% and a total hit frequency of 38.3%.
The Green Jade Games design team has done an amazing job of capturing the ancient city theme, taking players to the heart of Babylon. This, combined with the smart math and mechanics, ensures a thrilling and entertaining experience with every spin.
Mark Taffler, Chief Commercial Officer at Green Jade Games, said: “Book of Babylon takes players on a real adventure to the heart of the world’s most famous ancient city where they have plenty of chance to discover treasures and big wins of their own thanks to the game’s bonus features.
“Not only does the game look great, the math and mechanics have been designed to provide an engaging and entertaining experience with every spin. In particular, the Free Spins with Expanding symbols ramps up the excitement.
“Green Jade is first and foremost an arcade skill game developer, but we believe Book of Babylon has what it takes to capture player attention and deliver a fun and thrilling experience with every spin.”

Goa Introduces an Entirely Online Lottery Platform
In a move towards modernising India’s lottery sector, the state of Goa has introduced an entirely online lottery platform, sanctioned by the Directorate of Small Savings and Lotteries. This initiative, known as Great Goa Games, aims to bring transparency and convenience to an industry that has long grappled with allegations of mismanagement and fraud.
Ticket sales commenced Monday, with the inaugural draw set for Sunday. Rhiti Group, led by founder Arun Pandey, was granted the license to operate and market the platform. “Our mission is to democratize opportunities through technology,” Pandey stated, emphasizing the secure and user-friendly nature of the app-based system.
Goa government official Narayan Gad lauded the move as a step forward for the Indian lottery sector. “With our online lottery streamlining processes through technology, we are setting a new standard in the lottery industry,” Gad remarked. “The technology-based product will enhance transparency and ensure improved monitoring and regulation of operations.”
This development follows new rules governing online lotteries, introduced by the Goa directorate in February 2023. Currently, 13 states in India, including Goa, allow lottery games, though others have banned them due to concerns over gambling addiction and operational irregularities.
