Book of Dead is Play’n GO’s Egyptian adventure and one of the most enduring slots in the industry. Following explorer Rich Wilde into the tombs, it built on the classic “book” format and made it a genre staple.
How it plays
A 5×3 grid with 10 adjustable paylines, Book of Dead’s engine is the Book — it acts as both wild and scatter. Land three or more to trigger 10 free spins, and at the start a random expanding symbol is chosen.
The expanding symbol
During free spins, that special symbol expands to cover entire reels whenever it appears, paying on any position. Hit it on the premium Rich Wilde symbol and you can land the slot’s 5,000x top win. It’s a high-variance, all-or-nothing feature — which is exactly its appeal.
RTP and volatility
Book of Dead runs 96.21% RTP at its standard setting with high volatility. Wins are less frequent but can be large. Be aware Play’n GO licenses multiple RTP versions, so the figure at your casino may differ — always check. See our RTP guide for why that matters.
Verdict
The benchmark “book” slot: tense free spins, a meaningful max win and a format that’s been copied endlessly. Still one of the best in its class.
