How to Play Book of Dead Slot
Rich Wild and the Book of Dead has been designed by Play N’ Go. It features 5 reels and 10 pay lines. The minimum bet per spin is 10p with the maximum bet being £100. You have a good betting range here. The low minimum makes it the ideal game for those who may just want to play about with a slot machine every now and then and are not necessarily focused on those huge wins.
The game is set in Ancient Egypt. You take the role of an explorer trying to track down as much treasure as possible. The soundtrack is great. However, it is worth noting that the theme doesn’t play all that much into the game. It exists. It is brilliant, we give you that, but it isn’t 100% necessary. That being said, some of the best online slot machines that we have played are like this, so we can’t really hold it against the game.
This is a high variance slot. Most of your time in the game is going to be focused on the free spins mode (we are going to discuss that in a short while). One of the things that we love about this game is the fact that it has an absolutely huge bonus.
In fact, this is one of the highest jackpots we have seen in a game which is not a progressive slot machine. There is the chance to win up to 250,000 coins.. In order to score that, you will need to get five ‘Rich Wilde’ symbols on a single pay line. Not easy, though!
The game is very standard for a slot machine and doesn’t require much brainpower. This is great. We find that many slot machines have become far too unwieldy with regards to their special features nowadays. Sometimes, you just want something that you kick back, relax, and play. The Book of Dead slot machine offers that. Just set the amount you wish to bet and hit the spin button!
Bonus Rounds & In-Game Features
There is only one ‘real’ feature in the Book of Dead slot machine. Before we dive into that feature, we do have to mention the ‘Book symbol’. This is because the game is unique. The book actually doubles as two different symbols. It works as either a scatter or a wild.
This means that it can act as a replacement for any other symbol on the reels. It can also be used to trigger the bonus round. In order to trigger the bonus round, you will need to get three of them anywhere on the slot machine. If that happens, you can start your free spins.
Right away, you are going to be awarded with 10 free spins. Just before the free spins start, you will be informed of a symbol. This symbol will become the ‘expanding symbol’. This means that if you get a few of them on the reels, they will start to expand. Basically, every other symbol on the reel will now be the same. This can form some pretty decent combinations. In the free spins mode, you will be able to trigger up to ten more free spins.
Book of Dead Mobile Slot
If you like this game, then you will love the Book of Dead mobile slot. It plays the same as the main game, you can just have it in the palm of your hand. The game is perfect for those longer trips where you need a ‘mindless’ game to play which still boasts a pretty high chance of winning.
Summary – What Do We Think?
It is hard to put into words how much we loved playing Book of Dead Slot. Yes, it may be a simple slot machine. No, it may not have the huge number of features that modern slots seem to have, but it is fun to play. In this day and age, that is important. If you love slot machines, you are going to end up loving Book of Dead Slot.
More so, it reminded us a little bit of Novomatics' Book of Ra Slot, so if you loved that and also like ancient Egyptian themed slots, then don't miss Rich Wild and the Book of Dead Slot!
