How Book of Dead works
- 5 reels × 3 rows, 10 paylines. Symbols include Rich Wilde the explorer, Anubis, Horus, the Pharaoh, plus card royals (A, K, Q, J, 10).
- Book of Dead scatter symbols trigger free spins (3+ anywhere = 10 free spins).
- When free spins begin, the game randomly chooses ONE symbol to be the "expanding symbol" of the round.
- During free spins, whenever the chosen symbol appears, it expands to cover the entire reel - even on positions where it didn't physically land. Stacks pay massive.
- RTP 96.21%, very high volatility, max win 5,000x your stake.
Why Book of Dead is popular
Book of Dead is the slot that launched the entire 'Book of' category - Book of Ra, Book of Pharaoh, Book of Cleo, dozens of clones. The expanding-symbol-in-free-spins mechanic produces visually dramatic wins (a full Pharaoh symbol across all 5 reels pays 200x+ a single spin). High volatility means dry stretches followed by huge bonus hits - perfect for streaming clips. Particularly strong in Eastern European markets (Poland, Czechia, where it originated) but exported globally; popular in India, Brazil, Indonesia, Philippines through the PGSLOTS distribution. Play\'n Go\'s Rich Wilde character starred in this game and 8 sequels.
Strategy tips for Book of Dead
- High volatility slot - bet 0.5-1% of bankroll per spin maximum. Sessions can run 200+ spins without a meaningful hit before the bonus pays back.
- Don't panic if the random symbol chosen for your free spin round is a low-paying card (10, J, Q, K). Even card-symbol expanding rounds can pay 50x+ if the expansion stacks well.
- The Pharaoh and explorer (highest-paying symbols) when chosen as expanding symbol - that's the 1,000x+ wins. Worth playing until you get one.
- Free spins retrigger if 3+ scatters land during the round. Track for retrigger possibilities - they can extend a hot round dramatically.
Tips are general guidance. Casino games carry risk - never stake more than you can afford to lose.
Where Book of Dead is played

Book of Dead FAQs
Is Book of Dead the same as Book of Ra?
Different games, same category. Book of Ra (Novomatic) came first; Book of Dead (Play\'n Go) is the Western/online-casino successor. Mechanics are nearly identical: explorer theme, expanding symbol free spins. Book of Dead has higher RTP (96.21% vs Book of Ra\'s 95.10%).
Why does the same symbol always expand in my free spins?
By design - the expanding symbol is chosen once per free spin round and stays the same for all 10 (or more, if retriggered) spins. If you get a high-paying symbol chosen, the round can be huge; if you get a card royal, it\'s usually a modest payout.
Can I trigger free spins without the bonus buy?
Yes - Book of Dead doesn\'t have a Bonus Buy feature (Play\'n Go traditionally doesn\'t allow it). Bonus comes only through landing 3+ scatters in base play, roughly 1 in 100-130 spins on average.
What\'s the max win?
5,000x your stake. Reachable when a Pharaoh symbol is chosen as expanding and stacks across multiple reels with multiple free spins of the same symbol.
