How Book of Dead works
Book of Dead is a Play'n GO slot released in 2016, and it still gets played years later. You follow explorer Rich Wilde into an Egyptian tomb, spinning ten paylines of card symbols, hieroglyph-style characters and Rich himself. The book is the centrepiece, and nearly every big result in the game involves it.
Paylines and bets
The slot uses 10 paylines, and wins are paid on lines that run from the left. You set a total stake and the game divides it across the lines. Because the stake range is set by the game and the casino, check the bet selector in the lobby rather than assuming a limit.
The book symbol
The book acts as both Wild and Scatter. As a Wild it substitutes for other symbols. As a Scatter it triggers the free spins round when enough land in view. This dual role is why base-game spins can feel quiet and then change suddenly.
Provider: Play'n GO. Type: slot. Paylines: 10. RTP: 96.21%. Volatility: high. Max win: 5,000x.
Features and bonus rounds
The feature set is short, and that is part of the appeal. There are no cascades, multipliers or buy-in menus to learn. Three mechanics do the work.
Free spins with an expanding symbol
Landing the Scatter books starts the free spins. Before they begin, one regular symbol is picked at random as the special expanding symbol. When it lands on the reels during the round, it can expand to fill its entire reel and pay across the lines even if the symbols are not adjacent.
A low-paying symbol expanding gives a modest return. A high-paying one, especially Rich Wilde, across several reels is how the game reaches its biggest payouts.
Gamble feature
After a win you can choose to gamble it on a card-colour guess. A correct call doubles the win, and a wrong one loses it. It is optional, and most cautious players skip it because it works against a bankroll over time.

RTP, volatility and max win
Return to player is a long-run average across a huge number of spins, not a promise for one evening. At 96.21%, Book of Dead sits slightly above what many slots offer, but the figure says nothing about how that return is distributed.
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| RTP | 96.21% |
| Volatility | High |
| Max win | 5,000x stake |
| Paylines | 10 |
| Release year | 2016 |
High volatility means long dry stretches are normal, broken by occasional larger wins, most of them inside the free spins. Your balance can fall fast during a cold run. A 5,000x ceiling is a rare outcome, so treat it as the top of the range rather than a target.
Operators can sometimes run a slot at a different RTP setting, so confirm the figure in the game's info screen when you open it.

Tips for the first session
Because the game is volatile, bankroll size matters more than any trick. Pick a budget you accept losing, and divide it into enough spins that a few dry runs will not end the session.
- Try the demo version first, if available, to see how the expanding symbol behaves.
- Keep stakes small: a low bet stretches the time you have to reach the free spins.
- Decide in advance when you will stop, win or lose.
- Skip the gamble feature if you want to keep wins.
- Use deposit limits or a cool-down break from the account tools if you feel the session getting away from you.
Quiet for forty spins, then one free spins round changes everything. That is the game.
Gambling should stay entertainment. Self-exclusion, deposit limits and breaks of up to 6 weeks are available at the casino if you need them.
