Is Book of Dead the right slot for you?

Deep within the tombs of the pyramids of Ancient Egypt, intrepid adventurer Rich Wilde battles underworld gods Anubis and Osiris for control of the Book of Dead. That’s the backstory behind one of the greatest ever slots.

Released by Swedish games studio Play’n GO, Book of Dead is a 5-reel online slot with up to 10 paylines. Thanks to scintillating graphics and a phenomenal Free Spins feature, the Book of Dead slot game has become one of the best loved Egyptian slots ever, overtaking even the famous Eye of Horus slot.

Game Information

(/5)

Theme aside, the key considerations in deciding whether to play the Book of Dead slot is its win potential, volatility and bonus features. The maximum line win for Book of Dead is 5,000x, but the maximum multiplier is actually 250,000 times your stake, though that’s capped at £250,000 at PlayOJO.

It’s a high volatility slot, so be prepared for some bigger bankroll swings than other Egyptian slots such as John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen.

Don’t expect a raft of features either, as the Book of Dead game has just one – the Book of Dead free spins bonus - though it’s more interesting than your average free spins feature.

Features

Wilds

A symbol you’ll be on the lookout for is the Book of Dead. This gold book adorned with a winged beetle is both the Wild that substitutes for all other symbols to help you complete wins, and also acts as the scatter symbol which triggers Free Spins.

Free Spins

The Book of Dead free spins feature is the reason this game is popular. Although it’s perhaps not as interesting as the Eye of Horus free spins feature, it’s the huge win potential that makes the feature so engaging.

Hit 3 or more Books in any position and you’ll get 10 Free Spins. When the Free Spins start, the book will choose a special expanding symbol that can expand across reels to complete much bigger wins and will always be framed in gold. If you hit 3 or more Books again during any Free Spin, another 10 are triggered.

Legacy of Dead

Play’n GO’s Legacy of Dead slot was the sequel to Book of Dead. It looks identical and is also a 10-line slot which centres on the free spins feature. Except this time, with every retrigger of the free spins bonus, another special symbol is added to the list that can expand to fill reels.

As up to 9 expanding symbols can be active at any one time, that means every position on the reels can expand, creating some impressive win potential.

Eye of Horus

Before the Book of Dead UK slot came along, Reel Time Gaming’s iconic Eye of Horus slot was the undisputed king of Egyptian slots. Despite its dated look and feel, some would say it still is. If the original is a little too much like Book of Dead, there’s always the Eye of Horus Megaways and Eye of Horus The Golden Tablet.

My verdict

You don’t need any ancient code to unravel the mystery of why the Book of Dead slot machine has been so popular at PlayOJO and all around the UK. Mix one part classy graphics with one part slick animations, add a dash of carefully chosen free spins enhanced with special symbols, and you get the best of the best in Egyptian slots.
