Quick facts
Book of Dead is one of the most played slots in the world, and a staple at Betty Casino. Made by Play'n GO and released in 2016, it follows explorer Rich Wilde into an Egyptian tomb, built around a single, high-variance free spins feature that can pay up to 5,000x your stake. This page covers the specs, the feature, how to play it, and what to expect from its RTP and volatility. Play is in Canadian dollars.
How it works
Book of Dead is a classic 5x3 slot with 10 paylines you can adjust. Wins are formed left to right, and the Book is both the wild and the scatter - it substitutes for other symbols and, in threes, unlocks the free spins. The design is simple on purpose: there is one big feature to chase, which is exactly what has kept the game popular for years.

The free spins feature
Landing three or more Book scatters awards 10 free spins. Before they begin, one regular symbol is chosen at random as the special expanding symbol for the round. When enough of that symbol appears, it expands to cover the whole reel and pays across all positions, even when the symbols are not adjacent. If a high-value symbol is picked, a single spin can be worth hundreds of times your stake, and the feature can retrigger. This is where the game's biggest wins - up to 5,000x - come from.
How to play
- Set your bet. Choose your coin value and the number of lines to set the total stake per spin.
- Spin. Tap spin, or use autoplay for a set number of rounds.
- Chase the books. Three Book scatters trigger the free spins where the big wins live.
- Gamble (optional). After a win you can risk it on a card-colour or suit gamble - entirely optional.
Prefer to try it first? Most casinos offer a free demo, so you can learn the feature before betting real money.

RTP and volatility
Book of Dead has a base RTP of around 96.21%, which is a solid figure, though some casinos run lower-RTP versions - so check the game info screen before you play. It is a high-volatility slot, which means wins can be infrequent, with longer gaps between them, but the free spins can pay big when they hit. That profile suits patient players with a set budget rather than anyone chasing steady, frequent wins.
