The Book of Dead casino slot machine is an online video game developed by Play’n GO. It was released in 2016 and has since become a popular choice among players worldwide due to its engaging gameplay, immersive book of dead casino theme, and generous payouts.
Design and Theme
Upon launching the game, players are transported into ancient Egypt where they meet Rich Wilde, a brave adventurer seeking fortune in the mysterious land of pharaohs. The backdrop is set against an eerie Egyptian temple with sand dunes and pyramids visible on the horizon. The reels themselves are designed to resemble stone tablets adorned with hieroglyphics. When players hit winning combinations, these symbols light up, creating a visually stunning display that immerses them further into the game.
Symbols
The Book of Dead slot has a mix of low-paying card symbols (9-A) and high-value Egyptian-themed icons such as Anubis, Horus, Scarab, and Pharaoh. Rich Wilde himself serves as both a wild symbol (substituting all other symbols to form winning combinations) and the main protagonist of the game.
Payouts
Players can win up to 10,000 times their initial bet with maximum payout for landing five wild Rich Wilde icons on adjacent reels, each featuring the lowest paying value. Lower-paying card values pay between 2 and 5x their stake when appearing three or more in a line across consecutive reels.
Wilds and Scatters
The Book of Dead slot includes an innovative feature – Wild Book symbols appear randomly at any time during gameplay to expand into wild blocks, transforming adjacent spaces to form new winning combinations. This mechanic combines with the expanding Re-Spins system where two special characters are triggered from the initial book symbol – the first triggers a regular re-spin with all other icons locked, and the second adds three bonus lives that reset once exhausted.
Bonus Features
This slot machine has an exciting array of features:
- The Free Spins round – after activating it by collecting Book symbols in the reel area.
- Rich Wilde Expanding Re-Spin – where Wilds act as blocks expanding adjacent spaces into more potential wins.
