A close look at Book of Dead, from theme and features to every spin.
Book of Dead is Play'n GO's classic Egyptian adventure slot starring explorer Rich Wilde, running on a 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines. It takes the Book of Ra style formula and refines it, pairing a simple paytable of Egyptian motifs and playing cards with a single standout feature that has kept the game popular for well over a decade. Three or more Book scatter symbols trigger ten Free Spins, during which a random symbol is chosen as a Special Expanding Symbol that can cover entire reels whenever it lands, creating the potential for large wins. Further scatters during Free Spins retrigger the round, adding ten more spins. With a published RTP of 96.21% and high volatility, the bulk of the game's return sits firmly within the Free Spins feature. The theme is classic tomb raiding Egyptiana, with Rich Wilde exploring pyramids, scrolls and ancient curses, all rendered in a style that still holds up thanks to clean symbol design and a memorable soundtrack. It remains one of the most imitated slots in the industry for good reason.
