How The Game Works
Key details
Book of Dead slot is a high-volatility video slot developed by Play’n GO, featuring the adventurer Rich Wilde in an Ancient Egypt setting. The game has 5 reels arranged in 3 rows and up to 10 configurable paylines.
Then, pressing Spin starts the round.
The Book symbol acts as both Wild and Scatter. It substitutes for other symbols to complete wins and triggers free spins.
Landing 3 or more Book symbols triggers 10 free spins. At the start of this bonus round, one regular symbol is randomly selected as a Special Expanding Symbol.
This special symbol expands vertically to fill its entire reel whenever it can create or add to a winning payline. Free spins can be retriggered by landing 3 or more Books again during the bonus rounds, awarding additional spins.

Playing and Bonuses
Step-By-Step Play Flow
Key details
Once configured, pressing the Spin button begins a round. Wins are automatically calculated based on paylines and symbol combinations.
Three or more Book Scatter symbols trigger the Free Spins feature, initially awarding 10 free spins. Before free spins start, the game randomly selects a regular symbol to become the Special Expanding Symbol that can spread over entire reels during the free-spin rounds, increasing win potential.
During free spins, if three or more Book Scatters appear again, the feature retriggers, giving an additional 10 free spins and retaining the current Special Expanding Symbol.
After any winning spin, players may have the option to enter the Gamble feature. This is an optional risk round where players can double a win by guessing the card colour correctly, or quadruple it by guessing the card suit.
Book of Dead Demo Availability
A Book of Dead demo version is available on the official Play’n GO site and many licensed operators’ platforms. The demo allows players to experience the game mechanics, including the expanding symbol free spins and gamble feature, without placing real money bets.
