Book of Dead Slot
Now we did think ‘oh no, not another trip to dry, dusty Egypt,’ but fortunately we decided to play, and the quality of this Play’n GO slot became obvious. This is a sequel, with our intrepid explorer, Rich Wilde, back from his trip to South America and digging deep into the mysteries of the Egyptians.
The theme focuses on the ancient Egyptian’s fascination with death and what lay beyond it. Our interest, to be honest, lay more with the free spins, expanding symbols, and the chance to win the 5,000x jackpot!

The slot follows Rich Wilde as he digs deep to find the Book of Dead. This is the book of spells with which the Egyptian dead navigated the afterlife. Rich is after his hidden treasure and we are after ours! In the Book of Dead slot, this book navigates to the free spins and assists in putting together some great winning combos. Play’n GO decided to be economical with the symbols and the Book of Dead acts in the place of two symbols, the wild and the scatter.
The graphics in Book of Dead slot are colourful and thematic with a level of quality we have all come to expect from software giants Play’n GO. The soundtrack immediately transports you to a hot, dusty Egyptian day. You quickly want a glass of water as soon as you start playing this game, then as the free spins notch up your throat will dry up with excitement.
The five by three reels on Book of Dead slot have 10 adjustable paylines and a betting range from $0.01 to $100. The formula to remember is, the more paylines you bet on, the higher the bet, the more winning combinations you find, the more money you will win! You can select the coins from 1-10 per payline and their value from $0.01 - $1.
Symbols
We think a lot more fun could have been had with the symbols in Book of Dead slot. It's not as if Egyptian lore is short of symbolic items, but Play’n GO decided to be sparing. The higher paying symbols include the hawk symbol of Horus; the god of the sky, the dog-faced symbol of Anubis, and a gold death mask of an ancient Pharaoh. The top paying symbol in Book of Dead slot is of the dashing hero himself, Rich Wilde. Placing two to five higher paying symbols on the reels can bring rewards from 5x to 5,000x your bet.
he lower playing symbols of Book of Dead slot did not really stretch the design team, as they decided to stay with card icons, the beautifully bejewelled 10 - Ace.
Placing three to five of them on the reels reward you with from 5x to 150x your stake per line.

The infamous Book of Dead is the game’s wild and its scatter symbols. As the wild, it substitutes for other symbols to make better winning combos for you. As the scatter, it pays out wherever it lands on the reels, not just the paylines, and these are paid as multiples of the bet staked. Three receives a 2x multiplier, four is 20x, and five scatters awards 200x. Land three or more of this adaptable symbol and you initiate the free spin bonus round.
Bonus Game And Free Spins
The free spins bonus round is where Book of Dead slot really starts to get interesting. Landing three or more scatters brings you ten free spins, and these are re-triggerable within the free rounds unkaltil the maximum jackpot is won. What makes this slot extra appealing is a symbol is chosen at random before the free spins start.
Then, if two or more land on the reels these can expand to fill the reels. It was a tad confusing at first as they do not expand every time. After a winning line is paid out, the symbols will only extend if there is potential for more prizes. As this is a highly volatile slot, the prizes can be very rewarding.
