Look and Feel
Make the most of the striking golden graphics that take you deep into the tombs with their undiscovered wealth and danger. Play’n GO are known for producing slots with first-class looks that immerse you into the story, and this opulent game is no exception. In many ways it set the bar high for games that followed.
Behind the reel set is an illuminated secret chamber, complete with columns and statues. The reels are a combination of delicate gold and blue frames that look like an ancient artefact.
You can’t miss the icons of this game which are the stuff of an archaeologist’s dream with statutes and jewels aplenty. The graphics are sharp with plenty of detail.
Gameplay
The handsome Rich Wilde is the highest value icon. Land five of this chap on a pay line and you could net yourself 5000x your wager. Who knew a treasure hunter could be so valuable? And all before you’ve even found a mummy or a coin?
The other icons are a pharaoh’s golden mask, Anubis -the jackal headed God of the Afterlife and Horus, God of the Sky. The game’s lower value icons are the usually deck of cards – 10, J, Q, K and A.
The Wild and the Scatter icons are combined into one – the fabled Book of Dead! If you land five Book of Dead icons on a pay line you will boost your treasure pile by 200x your wager.
The Bonuses
Free Spins
Simply land a trio, or more, of the Book of Dead icons and you will unleash ten free spins. More free spins can be re-triggered if you can lure an additional three Book of Dead icons onto the reels during the bonus.
And there’s more than just the free spins. Before each free spin, an icon is chosen to become the special expanding symbol. Land the selected icon and it will expand over the whole reel to boost your win potential significantly.
Gamble Feature
The Gamble button gives you the chance to double or quadruple your wins by guessing the colour or suit of the next card in the pack, but not in all jurisdictions. You can’t have a punt like this in the UK. Remember to take your bank balance into account before playing with the Gamble button. Bank you r wins where you can and play this sparingly.

In a busy genre, the slick and volatile Book of the Dead stands out as one of the best. A cracker of an adventure!
FAQs
Questions
-
How does the Expanding Symbol feature work in Book of Dead
The feature sets off when you land three or more Book of Dead scatters across the reels, giving you TEN free spins.
Before the Free Spins start, a regular symbol (not the scatter) is picked at random to be the Special Expander that will cover an entire reel.
-
How frequently do the free spins set off in Book of Dead?
On average, the free spins bonus triggers once every 100-150 spins (roughly). Given that this is a volatile slot, it is hard to pin this number down.
Playing at least 200 spins will widen the net for getting free spins, so plan your spin budget accordingly. Ideally, you trigger them early.

The expanding symbol increases winning opportunities during the bonus as follows:
– Increased Coverage: it covers the entire reel.
