Landing three or more Book symbols anywhere on the reels sends the game into its free spins round, and that's when the title's signature mechanic kicks in: one randomly chosen high-value symbol is turned into an expanding icon that can stretch to cover an entire reel. Because that expansion can repeat across multiple positions during the round, a single spin has the potential to line up several outsized combinations at once, which is a big part of why this free spins feature is still held up as a benchmark for the genre.
Book of Dead put Play’n GO’s explorer Rich Wilde on the map, and this Egyptian-themed pokie remains one of the developer’s most requested titles for good reason. The 5-reel, 3-row layout keeps the format familiar, while the Book symbol does double duty as Wild and Scatter — landing three or more triggers the free spins round and unlocks an expanding symbol that can cover entire reels for outsized combinations.
Rich Wilde himself pays out as the top character symbol, with Pharaoh imagery, jewellery, scarabs and card values filling out the rest of the paytable. Because bigger wins can take a while to land, it pays to spin with a set bankroll in mind rather than chasing every round. Between the tomb-raiding theme and the straightforward paylines-based structure, it’s easy to see why this title became a benchmark for the whole Book-style genre — and the free demo is the easiest way to see it for yourself before wagering real money.
To win, you need to land matching symbols across the active paylines. Managing your bets carefully will help you enjoy the game for longer.
