Casino Top Rank

The Book of Dead slot from provider Play’n GO has been arguably one of the most wellknown and enduring titles in the online casino world. Released in 2016, this high-volatility video slot follows the intrepid explorer Rich Wilde into an ancient Egyptian tomb. The game has the classic landbased feel with a 5-reel, 3-row layout and 10 adjustable paylines, making it a highly popular game for both beginners and experience players.

Despite it being an older game the graphics capture its ancient Egypt theme very nicely. The reels are framed by temple columns, and the high-paying symbols picture the ancient gods Anubis and Osiris, alongside the adventurer Rich Wilde himself. The soundtrack is almost similar to its landbased version, being equally atmospheric, featuring an immersive, rhythmic Egyptian theme that increases in intensity during big wins or when the feature triggers.

The main interest for all players in this game is in the highly rewarding Free Spins feature. When you land three or more Book symbols—which cleverly act as both wilds and scatters—awards 10 free spins. Before the round begins, a single symbol is randomly chosen to act as a special expanding symbol. When enough of these symbols land, they expand to cover the entire reel, leading to massive payouts across all active paylines. If you are lucky enough to land five Rich Wilde symbols during this round, you trigger the game’s maximum payout of 5,000x your stake.
The game is marked as being high volatility, which means that the wins dont happen that often. However the thrill of chasing the expanding symbols keeps players coming back year after year. Book of Dead has borrowed the mechanics from older land-based classics like Novomatics Book of Ra, but Play’n GO perfected the formula making this game the OG Book of.. game.
