Book of Dead: Play'n GO slot

Book of Dead is a Play'n GO title. Operators can legally ship a reduced-RTP configuration of the same title without disclosing it in the lobby, so the paytable in the game's info screen is the figure to trust.

Questions readers ask

We haven't field-tested a per-operator build for this title yet. Until we have, treat the published return as the ceiling, not a guarantee at any specific casino.

Book of Dead: our verdict

The 2016 Egyptian slot that made Play'n GO's name: ten free spins with one randomly chosen symbol that expands to fill its reel. Play'n GO does not publish its RTP or max win on the game page, so we do not quote them.

Why it is on the list

Book of Dead, released on 14 January 2016, is still one of the most played slots in the world and the template for a whole genre of 'book' games. Its appeal is simplicity: one feature, easy to follow, with a real chance of a big screen when the expanding symbol lines up.

How it plays

Three scatters unlock ten free spins. Before they start, one ordinary symbol is picked at random as the Special Expanding Symbol. During the round it expands to cover all three positions on its reel whenever that can pay, and the expanded symbols do not have to sit next to each other to win. Three or more scatters during the round add ten more spins.

The maths

Play'n GO's game page gives no RTP, max win, volatility, grid or payline count, and links no game sheet, so we show those figures as not published rather than borrowing them from another site. As with any slot, check the RTP in the game's own paytable before you spin.

Who it is for

Players who want a classic, one-feature slot. If you want a studio that lists its RTP versions on the game page, the Nolimit City titles on our list do.
