How the slot plays
Book of Dead uses a 5x3 grid with 10 adjustable lines. The book acts as both scatter and wild, and three of them trigger the free spins that the game is built around.
Before free spins begin, one symbol is chosen at random to expand. When it lands during the feature it fills its whole reel and pays across positions, which is where the high-variance max win comes from.
The bonus round
- The book is both wild and scatter and triggers free spins.
- One randomly chosen symbol expands to cover a full reel in free spins.
- Free spins can be retriggered with more books.
Verdict
A benchmark Egyptian slot. The single expanding symbol makes the feature feel high-stakes — one lucky pick can define the session, which is the appeal for volatility-tolerant players.
