RTP builds

Book of Dead is sold to casinos in more than one configured return, and the operator picks the one it runs. Most sites print a single figure, which is simply wrong for anyone playing a different build.

About Book of Dead

Book of Dead is a Play'n GO video slot released in 2016 and set in an Ancient Egyptian adventure led by the studio's recurring explorer, Rich Wilde. It plays over five reels and ten paylines. The book acts as both the scatter and the wild, and landing enough books triggers the game's free-spins round. During that round one symbol is selected at random to become a special expanding symbol: when it appears it stretches to cover an entire reel and pays across positions as if it were in a matching line, which is the feature the game is best known for. Book of Dead is classified as high volatility, so wins can be spaced out but tend to be more meaningful when the expanding symbol lands well. The provider-stated default return-to-player is 96.21%, a value individual casinos may configure differently. With its tomb-exploration theme, simple ten-line layout and a single strong bonus feature, it remains one of Play'n GO's most familiar releases.

The studio default for Book of Dead is 96.21%, but the game is also sold to casinos at 94.25%, 91.25%, 87.25% and 84.18%. Which build runs is the operator's choice rather than yours, so check the game's own info screen before you play.

What is the maximum win in Book of Dead?

Wins in Book of Dead are capped at 5,000x your stake. That is the ceiling of the game's maths rather than a typical outcome — reaching it is rare.

How volatile is Book of Dead?

Book of Dead is a high-volatility game: wins land less often and the gaps between them are wider, so a bankroll that survives long dry spells matters more here than it does elsewhere.

Can you buy the bonus in Book of Dead?

No — Book of Dead has no bonus buy. The bonus round can only be triggered in normal play.

What are the minimum and maximum bets in Book of Dead?

Stakes in Book of Dead run from 0.01 to 100 per round, in whatever currency your casino uses. Individual casinos can narrow that range.
