What is Book of Dead
Book of Dead is Play'n GO's signature slot and one of the Egyptian-themed games players return to again and again. You follow explorer Rich Wilde through the tombs on a classic layout of 5 reels and 10 paylines.
It carries the "book" style forward in its purest form: simple rules in the base game, and free spins with the kind of potential that turned it into a classic.
The book and the expanding symbol
The Book symbol does double duty as both wild and scatter. Land three or more and you receive 10 free spins. Before they begin, the game picks one special expanding symbol at random.
During the free spins, whenever that symbol appears in sufficient numbers it expands to fill the whole reel and pays as if it sat in every position. That is where the largest wins come from. There is also a gamble feature that lets you try to double a win.
The beauty of the design is how little you need to track. In the base game you are simply hunting for books; once the free spins start, all eyes are on the chosen symbol and whether it fills the reels.
RTP, versions and volatility
The standard RTP is 96.21%. Be aware that Play'n GO supplies lower-RTP versions (94.25% or less) to some operators, so it pays to check which one you are playing. At CasinoPurple the aim is to offer the high-RTP version.
Volatility is high and the ceiling is 5,000x your stake.
The minimum stake of 0.10 lets you stretch a session, which helps with a game where the free spins are the main source of big wins.
