Overview

Book of Dead is a 5×3 video slot with 10 paylines and high volatility. The design follows a lean math model with a single core bonus. The game targets players who accept long downswings for rare but large wins. Max win is 5,000× the total bet. RTP depends on the site build. Typical ranges are 84.18% to 96.21%.

Story and style

You play in the role of an adventurer who enters a sealed Egyptian tomb. The Book is both a key and a hazard. Find three Books to unlock a chamber of free spins. The art uses clean gold trims, sandstone panels, and hieroglyph frames. Premium symbols show the explorer and Egyptian gods. The soundtrack is sparse. Low drums and short flute cues build tension during spins. A harder cadence starts when the third Book teases. The UI is minimal and readable on small screens.

How it plays

  1. Grid: 5 reels × 3 rows.
  2. Lines: 10. Lines can be set to fewer in some builds, but full potential expects 10.
  3. Stakes: 0.10 to 100.00 per spin.
  4. Volatility: High. Hit rate is modest. Average wins are small outside the bonus.

The Book symbol

The Book is both Wild and Scatter.

  1. As Wild it substitutes for any pay symbol.
  2. As Scatter it triggers the bonus at 3+ anywhere.
  3. Two Books can already produce small scatter pays.
  4. This dual role keeps the base game simple and fast.

Free Spins with expanding symbol

You receive 10 free spins. One regular symbol is chosen at random before the bonus starts. During the bonus this symbol can expand to fill the reel after line evaluation. Expanded reels pay as if the symbols were adjacent on all active lines. No substitutes are needed.

  1. Re-trigger: 3+ Books add 10 extra spins. Multiple re-triggers are possible.
  2. Ceiling: a full screen of the top symbol can reach the 5,000× cap in optimal setups.

Math and RTP

  1. RTP is versioned. Check the info panel on the site you play.
  2. Recommended bankroll covers long dry spells. Expect streaks with no bonus. The bonus compensates with high ceilings.

Mobile and performance

Built in HTML5. Touch targets are large. Buttons for bet and auto are one tap away. The game remains stable on mid-range phones.

Practical strategy

  1. Use all 10 lines. The bonus pays per line but ignores adjacency. Full coverage matters.
  2. Size bets for at least 200 to 300 base spins. This lowers the risk of busting before a bonus.
  3. The optional post-win gamble can double or quadruple but increases variance. Use only if you accept higher risk.
