This 5-reel, 3-row game features 10 paylines and some exciting bonus features. You can customise your stakes by coin value, coin size and paylines. Coins can be set from 1p to £1 and you can have up to £5 coins on each payline, meaning the bet limits range from 1p to £50.

Book of Dead has an RTP of 96.21%, which is around the average mark for online slot games. This is a high variance game, so while there are some sizeable payouts on offer, don’t expect to land a win with every spin. The symbols pay out as follows:

The maximum win for this game is 5,000 times your stake, which can be won with any bet size. You’ll land this if you land the Rich Wilde symbol 5 times in a row on a payline. You can also activate the max win if you land the correct combination of Rich Wilde and Book of Dead Wild symbols.

Book of Dead offers autoplay which automatically stops if your balance becomes too low. There’s also a Stop button which lets you stop the reels more quickly, as well as a Fast Play option which makes for faster gameplay.

Book of Dead has three special features in total – a Wild Scatter symbol, a Free Spins round with a Special Expanding Symbol, and a Gamble Feature.

The Book of Dead symbol is what you want to look out for when playing the base game, as this acts as both a wild and a scatter. As a wild it replaces any symbols to help form winning combinations, increasing your chances of landing some returns.

As a scatter, the Book of Dead symbol pays out even when it’s not on a payline, provided your land at last three scatters. Three scatters pays out 2 coins, four scatters pays 20 coins and five scatters pay 200 coins. Landing at least three scatter symbols also activates the Free Spins round.

The Free Spins lasts for 10 spins and features a Special Expanding Symbol. The expanding symbol is randomly chosen at the start of the round and lasts for the duration of the free spins. The special symbols expand when additional prizes can be awarded on active paylines and can cover the entirety of the reel or reels they’re present on.

The Special Expanding Symbols don’t need to land next to each other to result in wins and can cover all five reels if your luck’s in, potentially resulting in the 5,000x max win. The Free Spins round can be retriggered as it plays out, meaning you could bag up to 20 free spins at a time.

Book of Dead also has a gamble feature which is available every time you land a winning combination. If you decide to gamble, you can choose to guess either the colour or suit of the next playing card to be turned over. Guessing the right colour doubles your win, and guessing the correct suit quadruples it. However, if you don’t guess right you’ll lose your winnings.

Book of Dead is optimised for mobile play, so it runs seamlessly on both mobile web browsers and mobile casino apps. This means you can enjoy it in all its glory on iPhone and Android smartphones as well as tablets.

Book of Dead features the fantastic graphics that slots fans have come to expect from Play’n GO. The visuals and clear and crisp, and the detail put into the high paying symbols like Horus and Anubis are particularly eye-catching. The soundtrack is also well made and atmospheric, transporting you into the world of Ancient Egypt.
