Book of Dead — what every player should know

Overview

Book of Dead is Play'n GO's high-variance Egyptian adventure slot. Land the golden book scatter on reels 1, 3, and 5 to trigger free spins, where one symbol expands across the entire reel for the full round.

How it plays

Bet between £0.01 and £100 across 10 fixed paylines on a 5×3 grid. Wins form left to right from reel one. The hit frequency is sparse — expect long dry stretches between payline hits, but the expanding mechanic means free-spin rounds can deliver serious multipliers.

The bonus round

Three book scatters unlock 10 free spins. During the round, one randomly selected symbol expands to fill its reel whenever it lands, turning modest combinations into full-reel pays. Extra scatters retrigger spins. The big money lives in stacked symbols landing on the expanded reel.

Who it's for

High-variance hunters willing to sit through 100+ spins without a win, chasing the free-spin bonus where expanding symbols can turn £1 into £500+.

Avoid if

You chase short-session wins or need regular payline hits to stay entertained — Book of Dead is a patient grinder's game.

Frequently asked questions

What triggers the free spins?

Land the golden book scatter on reels 1, 3, and 5 simultaneously. You get 10 free spins, and one symbol expands fully on each spin for bigger pays.

Can you retrigger free spins?

Yes. Extra scatters during the bonus add more free spins. If you land three books again, you gain another 10 spins on top of the remaining count.
