One of the first explorers that dared to go to ancient Egypt and examine the dangerous tombs of pharaohs came from Novomatic. Even though he is still extremely popular, nobody knows the real name of this handsome daredevil. We do know that Book of Ra is probably one of the oldest video slots themed after Ancient Egypt, but there are loads of gamers playing it still. The five-reel 10-payline video slot offers only one additional feature. Land three Book of Ra Scatters and you will trigger the Free Spins feature with special expanding symbols. It is very similar to the Book of Dead video slot, which comes from Play’n Go’s creative kitchen.

The rules of the game are as easy as pie. The 2004 release features a standard 5x3 reel grid and offers 10 adjustable paylines, which means that gamers decide for themselves how many lines they will play with. Our advice to all spinners is to always use all of the lines, simply to boost their winning chances. The Novomatic product pays left to right, starting from the far-left reel. High-value symbols will start paying even for two of a kind, while low-value ones will begin delivering payouts once at least three matching symbols are found on a line.

THEME AND DESIGN

Back in 2004, the theme of the game was pretty innovative and new, while nowadays there are more than enough video slots with a similar topic. Of course, the graphics are out of date, but the game is still quite popular. The Explorer is the highest-paying regular symbol followed by the Pharaoh. A Statue of some deity will be also on the reels, as well as the Scarab. Low-value symbols are represented by playing cards. The Book of Ra is both the Wild that substitutes for all icons, and the Scatter that triggers the Free Spins feature.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

The Free Spins feature incorporated is quite similar to the one offered by the Play’n Go’s Book of Ra, so we might say that Play’n Go used Book of Ra as their model for their video slot. So, we need three or more Scatters on the reels to trigger 10 free spins. Before freebies start, one of the symbols will be selected as the special expanding symbol during the feature. The expanding symbols can cover entire reels and help you land bigger wins. Once you land a win, you can collect it or you can decide to gamble the won amount on the card game. Select the right color of the hidden card and you will double your money. You can gamble your winnings up to 5 times at once.

PAYOUTS

If our sources are correct, the biggest win players in South Africa can expect in a single spin cannot go over 5,000x the bet. This will happen once you manage to fill all the cells with the Explorer icon, since he pays the most. As for the betting range, it is quite wide since punters can wager from R1 to R4,000 in a single spin.

CONCLUSION

Have a good look at the Book of Ra and you will see where Play’n Go got their idea for the Book of Dead video slot. Even though the 2004 release is one of the veterans among video slots, it is still very popular among fans of ancient Egypt. Of course, the visuals are not as good as they should be, because the game is quite old, but the action and excitement never get old with the Book of Ra video slot. Discover the secrets of the Book and you can win as much as 5,000x the bet in a single spin.
