Book of Dead Review

In 2015, Novomatic released an Egyptian themed slot called the Book of Ra which became an overnight success, and generated an almost cult following. So it was only natural that someone else would come along and copy it. Enter Book of Dead by Play’n Go. However it would be wrong to say that this slot machine is just a copy, because Play’n Go have improved their version in almost every way possible. One of the main negatives of the original slot game was the boring and dated graphics used, something that Play’n Go were often accused of themselves, but with book of Dead they have shaken off that label completely.

Book of Dead Slot Machine RTP

Play’n Go used to have singular fixed RTP values for their games, however in recent times they have allowed for adjustable (by the online casino operator) RTP’s, and the Book of Dead slot machine is no exception. The mean average RTP for the Book of Dead slot is 96.21%. Most online casinos use this higher RTP rate as this is the default. However, you can find versions of Book of Dead with 94.25%, 91.25%, 87.25% or even 84.18% RTP.

 

Book of Dead Slot Theme

For those slot players who are not familiar with the origins of the Book of Dead, it is actually a follow up to Rich Wilde and the Aztec Idols, which was based in deep Amazonian. Book of Dead carries on with the same archaeologist, Rich Wilde, this time in a tomb in mythical ancient Egypt, searching for the elusive Book of Dead.

The Book of the Dead is an ancient Egyptian book, written by a high priest and containing numerous magic spells that accompanied the dead on their journey to the afterlife and there after.

The reels are set within an Egyptian ancient tomb. As players get further into the game, they will encounter ancient Egyptian mythological gods like Osiris and Anubis. All with great graphics and soundtrack that looks amazing on all devices, with bright vibrant colors all clearly defined.

 

Book of Dead Game Play

Book of Dead slot machine has 5 reels and 10 paylines. With options for selecting both the number of reels, from 1 to 10 as well as the coin range, which goes from as little as €0.01 per payline up to €10. So players can play from as little as €0.01 per spin or if playing all paylines at maximum bet, €100.00 a spin.

With 5 reels and 3 rows, winning combinations are made by getting 3 or more matching symbols across any of the 10 paylines, starting from reel 1. There is the option of using the Auto Play then selecting the number of spins from 20 to 100. There are a number of filters that players can use such as setting the Auto Play to stop, if a single win exceeds a set amount or if the players balance decreases by a set amount and most importantly if the Free Spins Bonus Feature is triggered.

As with most Play’n GO slots, Book of Dead is high variance, meaning that there will be quite a few wins, but most of them will be small in value. The bigger wins will come in the Free Spins feature as the special expanding symbol makes it easier to fill the reels with the same symbol.

The higher the value of the special expanding symbol, the bigger the potential returns. The max win is 5,000 x stake per spin or free spin. This can be won if you fill all reels with the Rich Wilde symbol.

Book of Dead has been designed to be played on all devices: PC, Mobile, both Android & Apple and Tablets.

 

Book of Dead Slot machine Symbols

The majority of the symbols are made up of the cards A, K, Q, J and 10, these are the easiest to get but also the lowest paying. Next up are Horus or Anubis and Osiris with Rich Wilde being the highest paying.

The Symbols payout as follows:

Symbol Payouts

• Q, J or 10 3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 2.5 or 10 x stake
• K or A 3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 4 or 15 x stake
• Horus or Anubis 2, 3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 3, 10 or 75 x stake
• Osiris 2, 3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 4, 40 or 200 x stake
• Rich Wilde 2, 3, 4 or 5 = 1, 10, 100 or 500 x stake

5 on a payline will give you 500 times your stake but just 2 will give you your stake back. If you manage to fill the reels entirely of either of Rich Wilde symbols in a spin, you’ll hit the jackpot of 5,000 times your stake.

Book of Dead Wild & Scatter Symbol

Just as important is the Golden Book symbol, as this is both the wild and scatter symbol. When it appears as a wild, it substitutes for any other symbol adjacent to it, to help create winning combinations. It is also responsible for triggering the free spins bonus mode.

The Book of Dead slot game comes with just the 1 bonus feature, the Free Spins Bonus Game feature. Before the free spins are triggered, a randomly chosen symbol is selected to become the special expanding symbol. This can lead to multiple reels displaying the same symbol for huge wins.

 

 

Book of Dead Free Spins Bonus Game feature

When 3 or more Golden Book symbols appear as a scatter anywhere on the reels the free Spins Bonus feature is triggered. As well as a payout of 2, 20 or 200x the stake, players then enter a sacred chamber where they are rewarded with 10 free spins.

During the free spins game, if 3 or more scattered Book symbols appear, players will get an additional 10 free spins. This will give the max 20 free spins available.

Although players have no control over which symbol will become the special expanding symbol, everyone hopes for Osiris or Rich Wilde, the highest paying symbols. Get either of these and the potential wins are enormous.

Here is a break down of the symbols and their payouts with all 5 reels filled with the same symbol:

• Symbol Max Win
• Q, J or 10 100 x stake win
• K or A 150 x stake win
• Horus or Anubis 750 x stake
• Osiris 2,000 x stake
• Rich Wilde 5,000 x stake

If you get Rich Wilde as the high value symbol, you can win the maximum jackpot available in the Book of Dead slot, which is 5,000 x the stake.

Book of Dead Conclusion

Let’s face it, Book of Dead slot machine has taken all the best parts of Novomatic’s Book of Ra Deluxe and added much better graphics and animations, better game play functions and a much, much bigger jackpot.

The most you can win per spin in the Book of Dead slot is 5,000 x the total stake. You can win this amount if you fill the reels with the Rich Wilde symbol. This is much more likely in the Free Spins feature if Rich Wilde is chosen as the special expanding symbol. In money terms this translates into an amazing maximum jackpot of €500,000!
