Book of Dead Demo & Review

Book of Dead review

Book of Dead is the template for the modern "book" slot. Ten free spins with a random expanding symbol is all there is, and that simplicity is its strength: the bonus outcome depends almost entirely on which symbol is picked. A high-paying expanding symbol can fill the screen, while a low one usually produces a modest bonus. Note the very wide range of RTP configurations – the in-game info screen tells you which one a casino runs.

Features and bonus rounds

Expanding symbol
Before free spins a random symbol is chosen; during the bonus it expands to fill reels and pays on any position.
Gamble
Optional double-or-nothing card gamble on wins (removed in some markets).

Book of Dead RTP, volatility and max win

RTP: the default return to player is 96.21%, meaning that over a very large number of spins the game is designed to pay back around 96.2 units for every 100 wagered. It is also offered at 94.25%, 91.25%, 87.25%, 84.17% – a casino running the lowest version keeps noticeably more of every bet. How RTP works.

Volatility: Book of Dead is a high volatility slot: expect longer stretches between meaningful wins and larger swings in your balance than on a medium-volatility game. The bonus round carries much of the game's value. Volatility explained.

Max win: the maximum payout is 5,000x the stake. What max win really means.

Pros

  • Iconic, simple mechanic
