SlotRanker Score: 70 — The Secret of Ba by Tom Horn Gaming

How to cite

Slot Summary

Breaking one win into as many as 4 successive shatter rounds gives every paying result a chance to continue, with the active Multiplier rising at each step. The Secret of Ba applies that Cascading pattern to Tom Horn Gaming's Ancient Egypt and Book format, then changes direction in Free Spins through a selected Expanding Symbol. High volatility and an x500.00 maximum keep the published ceiling modest, so linked shatters and full-reel expansion carry more weight than the headline prize.

How It Plays

Regular combinations pay across 9 lines, then Cascading removes winning symbols and introduces replacements that may form another combination without starting a new paid spin.

The shatter sequence has a limit of 4 rounds. Its Multiplier rises after each successful stage, increasing the value of later wins in the same chain.

Theme & Atmosphere

Ancient Egypt supplies the setting, while Book and Treasure themes connect the reels to tomb lore, the afterlife, and the search for guarded riches.

The title's Ba refers to a soul moving between the worlds of the living and dead, giving the Mythology material a specific Egyptian focus.

Mythology Egypt Book Treasure Ancient

Features & Win Potential

Avalanche and Cascading behavior extend a paying spin by clearing its winning symbols, and the associated Multiplier increases as successive shatter rounds occur.

The Expanding Symbols mechanic changes the calculation during Free Spins because selected symbols can cover full reels without needing to occupy neighboring reels.

Bonus & Free Spins

Three Book symbols trigger 10 retriggerable Free Spins. One paying symbol is selected at the beginning and becomes the special Expanding Symbol for that round.

Free Spins begin with a 1x Multiplier, which can increase through shatter results up to 4x. Retriggering adds spins without selecting a replacement special symbol.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (High). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (96.00%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (500×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
