Freaky Friday Details
Above we had already mentioned that Freaky Friday has one extra reel compared to Book of Ra.
The minimum bet is $0.20 and the maximum bet is $100 per spin. There is a just below average payout percentage of 95.82% and you can win up to 2,500 times your stake.
Furthermore, it is important to know that Freaky Friday has a high variance of payouts. All in all, the numbers disappoint us somewhat.

Theme & Design
While you can think of Freaky Friday as a spin-off of Book of Ra, you absolutely cannot say that the game is an exact copy. Stakelogic has certainly given it its own twist.
For example, an extra reel has been added to the playing field of Freaky Friday compared to Book of Ra. Freaky Friday also has more paylines, bringing the game to 20 paylines in total. Then to the design of the slot machine.
Hanging from the playing field are the straps with which the scientist ties his victims to the chair. In our opinion, Freaky Friday has a very exciting theme and a successful design.
Features
Two of the most important features of Freaky Friday we already mentioned in the introduction. Those are the Fixed Symbols feature and of course the Book symbol. The only other feature in this game is the free spins feature.
Book Symbol
The Book symbol has an important dual role in Freaky Friday. Not only does it function as a wild, it is also the scatter in this game. In addition, Book symbols can also produce an instant payout.
- 3 Book symbols yield a payout of 2.5 times the bet.
- 4 Book symbols yield a payout of 25 times the bet.
- 5 Book symbols yield a payout of 125 times the bet.
Fixed Symbols feature
The Fixed Symbols feature is linked to the optional Super Stake feature. Activating the Super Stake feature means that your bet is doubled.
If you trigger the free spins feature with an activated Super Stake feature, then you can benefit from the Fixed Symbols feature. This feature means that any Golden Wild Scatter symbol landed on reel 2, 3 or 4 will turn the reel into a Golden Reel. It means that when the expanding symbol lands on reel 1 or 5, that a Golden Reel copies the symbol so that a winning combination can occur.
Freaky Friday free spins
You need to spin at least 3 book symbols to trigger the free spins feature of Freaky Friday. This will then result in 10 free spins. Before those free spins begin, a random pay symbol is chosen as the expanding symbol. This symbol expands to the total size of the reel if it can be involved in a winning combination.
The advantage of these symbols is that they do not have to be adjacent to each other to form a winning combination. By spinning 3 Book symbols again, you will receive 10 additional free spins and the corresponding cash prize.
The expanding symbol remains the same during those additional free spins.
Final Verdict
You clearly notice while playing that Freaky Friday is inspired by Book of Ra. There is nothing wrong with that, but it does not make for surprising gameplay.
Stakelogic has done its best to add some unique elements, but in our opinion it is not enough to really stand out. The Fixed Symbols feature is a nice addition, but to reach it you are forced to activate the Super Stake feature. We do like the design of Freaky Friday.
