About The Book of Dead Slot

Book of Dead draws upon a familiar and often used theme, Ancient Egypt. The layout is pleasing on the eye; you find yourself accompanying explorer Rich Wilde into a tomb, with large clear reels set in the centre of the screen. The sound effects, meanwhile, adds an element of suspense, with drums beating rhythmically as the backdrop to your play.

The layout of the Book of Dead slot machine is appealing, the graphics are bright and clear - with plenty of gold in use - and the large, eye-catching symbols are easy to make out on the five reels. Along the bottom of the screen, you'll find all the controls you'd expect for an online slot.

At the bottom left, there's a box displaying the number of coins you have, beneath which is a button to adjust your coin value (from 0.01 to 1.00). A long box in the centre displays your wins and has three buttons beneath it: COINS, LINES and BET MAX. COINS allows you to adjust the number of coins in play, from 1-5; LINES provides the option to adjust the number of paylines that are active; and, BET MAX sets both coins and paylines to their maximum setting - it doesn't, however, change the coin value.

Next along is the box displaying the value of your bet, beneath which is a large button marked SPIN', which does exactly what you'd expect it to do! The paytable gets its own large, clearly marked button, and is located just above the AUTOPLAY button. When you hit AUTOPLAY, you'll be able to select from several options that are standard to an Autospin feature, such as setting fast-play spin amounts and stopping autoplay based upon single win amounts and balance increases and decreases.

Gameplay

Despite the impression given by the fancy graphics and ominous soundtrack, Book of Dead isn’t overly complicated to play. There aren’t any features to intrude upon your gameplay, so, it’s a case of spinning in the base game until you land some Free Spins. And once you do, Free Spins follow the same game structure as the regular game.

Wager

When setting your wager in Book of Dead, there are a few things to consider. Firstly, the coin value. This can be set anywhere between 0.01 and 1.00. Next, you’ll need to decide how many coins you’d like to wager, from 1-5, and across how many paylines, from 1-10. These figures will combine to form your total wager amount, which is shown in the box loathed above the Spin button, that says Bet.

Symbols

The lowest paying symbols in Book of Dead are 10, J and Q, paying up to 100x your bet for landing on five symbols across a payline. A and K pay up to 150x. Next up is Horus - who fulfilled various roles such as Sky God, War God and the protector of the ruler of Egypt - who takes bird form in this slot and pays out up to 750x your stake for matching 5x symbols on a payline. Anubis - the dog-headed patron god of lost souls - also pays out up to 750x your wager. Osiris - the Egyptian Lord of the Underworld and Judge of the Dead, are the higher-paying symbols that pay out a whopping 2,000x your stake.

Special Symbols

Technically, the Rich Wilde symbols are not special symbols, but the headline character of this casino slot offers some mighty payouts. The intrepid explorer can payout as high as 5,000x your wager for landing on him five times across an active payline. The Book symbols are the game’s most versatile symbols, acting as both a Wild symbol and Scatter symbol. As a Wild, it can substitute for any symbol to form a winning combination. As a Scatter symbol, it will pay anywhere on the reels, up to 200x wager. It also triggers 10 Free Spins when three or more land on the reels.

Expanding Symbols

During Free Spins, a symbol will be chosen at random to act as the special Expanding Symbol. This symbol will expand to cover the reels, allowing for more prizes to be won across active paylines.
