book of dead slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

As I mentioned earlier, Book of Dead is a direct clone of Novomatic’s title Book of Ra online slot, which is one of the most popular land-based casino slots of all time. I’m unsure as to why Novomatic chose not to take any action against Play’N’Go for what is surely a flagrant abuse of copyright; my best guess would be something to do with the fact that Novomatic had very little interest in the online slots industry until quite recently, but this is pure speculation on my part. A new online-only Book of Ra slot named Book of Ra: Mystic Fortunes was recently released, and it’s arguably a much more impressive game than Book of Dead. I wonder if Play’N’Go will decide to clone that one at some point, too?!

It might be a shameless clone, but that doesn’t mean that Book of Dead is a bit slot – after all, the game it copies is one of the most popular slots of all time! I’m especially happy to see a payout of 500x your bet for all five scatter symbols, as so many modern slots offer nothing for this particular combination. As for the regular symbols, Riche Wilde himself is the highest-paying of the bunch and will also pay you 500x your bet for a full payline of five of a kind, followed by the Tutankhamen mask, which has a return of 200x for all five symbols. There’s an Ancient Egyptian “horse guard” next, which pays 75x your bet for a complete payline, and then a nicely drawn scarab beetle insignia which shares the same return of 75x. The bottom half of the paytable consists of five royal symbols, which will pay you between 10x and 15x your bet for a five-of-a-kind combination,

The selectable paylines offered in Book of Dead mean that you can choose to play from as little as €0.01 per spin if you wish, although I suspect that most players will prefer to play all ten pay lines. With all lines activated, the minimum/maximum wagers are €0.10 and €100.00, respectively.

base game & modifiers

The base gameplay of Book of Dead offers very few surprises. The slot utilises a traditional five reel, three row playfield, and the ten paylines are arranged sensibly to cover the most logical paths from left to right. You’ll need at least three matching symbols on adjacent reels to score yourself a win, except for the highest-paying scatter/wild and Riche Wilde symbols which both pay for two matches.

book of dead slot bonus features

Book of Dead includes just one main special feature, which is the free spin bonus round that is triggered by landing three or more scatter symbols during the base game. You will be awarded ten free spins regardless of the number of triggering scatter symbols, although the game does award a larger cash prize for four or five scatter combinations.
