Book of Ra Deluxe Slot Review

Book of Ra Deluxe Slot Overview

Book of Ra Deluxe is a new casino slot from Novomatic where you get to put on your hiking boots and head out to ancient Egypt to hunt for the treasures of the sun god Ra. The Indiana Jones-looking adventurer in the game is the best paying symbol, and he can give you the max win of 5000X. Other friends in the hunt for richness are the falcon-headed god Horus and the pharaoh Tutankhamun. However, the main thing all treasure hunters are looking for is the Book of Ra that can take you to the Free Games feature where 10 free spins are waiting. During those spins, the player will be helped by an expanding symbol that can fill the reel it lands on.

Book of Ra Deluxe is a video slot from Novomatic containing 5 reels and 3 rows. It is possible to play on 1 to 10 paylines, with a wide bet variety from 0.01 to 50. This game’s RTP is 95.1%, and the volatility is very high. It comes with a max win of 5000X the bet and a hit frequency of 30%.

The features in this game are Wild Symbol, Free Games containing 10 free spins, and the Double or Nothing Gamble feature.

Book of Ra Deluxe Slot Information

This game follows a trendy theme in the casino world: ancient Egypt. The mighty Ra, the god of the sun, has hidden his treasures after being persecuted by his enemies. When you arrive at this pyramid-filled desert land, your job is to find the Book of Ra where the god has left clues of where the treasures are. If you manage to decipher the writings, you will be rewarded with richness. The 5 reels make up pretty much this video slot's whole screen, and the game’s logo is squeezed in on top of the slot with two pyramids in the far distance. Under the reels is information such as the number of lines played, total bet, an auto bet button, and the counter telling the player how big the wins are and how much he has in the bank. There is also a menu button where one can see the paytable, and some small yellow buttons where the player can turn off the music and mute the game completely. Since the reels take up a big part of the screen, the colorful symbols appear bigger than in most slots. It looks pretty good and appealing, but the graphics are quite simple, so don’t expect anything crazy to pop up on the screen in this game that can be played on all devices: desktops, notepads, and mobiles. The music is also really basic – and repetitive. It reminds of sounds from a video game in the early 90s, but the tune only plays for a few seconds before it starts over again. To make a win, you need to land at least 3 or more of the same symbol types on a connecting payline from left to right, starting with the leftmost reel. The adventurer symbol and 3 other symbol types also make a win with 2 in a row.

The lower paying symbol types are 10, J, Q, K, and A. They will give you between 100X to 150X the bet if you manage to get 5 of them on a payline. However, consider that most people play on all ten paylines. If that is the case, the mentioned symbols will give you between 10X to 15X of your stake if you land them on a payline on all 5 reels. The higher paying symbols are scarab, the falcon-headed god Horus, the pharaoh Tutankhamun, and the Indiana Jones-looking adventurer wearing a hat. Landing 5 of the same of those guys on a payline will give you between 750X to 5000X your bet. That is once again if you’re playing on just one payline. Apart from mentioned symbols, we also have the mystical Book of Ra, and this magical scripture is both a wild symbol and a scatter symbol. It substitutes all other symbols, and it is also the magical ticket to the Free Games. You activate the Free Games by landing at least 3 Books of Ra anywhere on the grid. If you manage to get 5 books on a spin, you will be rewarded 200X your bet.  

Book of Ra Deluxe Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Book of Ra?

You can win up to 5000X the bet.

What features are available in the slot Book of Ra Deluxe?

The features are Wild Symbol, Free Games and Double or Nothing.

Wild Symbol

The game's wild symbol helps to create more winning combinations by substituting for other symbols on the reels.

Free Games

This is a free spin session giving you 10 free spins, or Free Games as they are called here. You end up here by landing at least 3 Books of Ra in any position on the reels in the main game. Before you get to start spinning, the game randomly turns one of the symbols into a special expanding symbol. After the payout of regular symbols, the special symbol expands to cover all 3 positions on its reel if there are enough symbols for a win. One neat thing that can drastically increase the number of wins is that the expanding symbol also pays on non-adjacent lines. Another cool thing in the free spins feature is that you can win another Free Game while playing if you manage to land 3 Books of Ra.

Double or Nothing

You can always choose if you want to collect your win straight away or if you want to enter the Double or Nothing gambling mode, where you either double your win or lose it. This option is available both in the main game and the Free Games. The adventurous player that goes for this option has to guess the next card’s color in a card deck – choosing either red or black. If you’re right, you have doubled the win and can continue trying to double it again or collect the win and continue spinning for more wins.        

Book of Ra Deluxe Slot Conclusion

The amount on your account can change quickly, both on the plus and minus side, in this very volatile casino slot. The goal for everyone who takes on this desert adventure is to activate the Free Games. You can still scoop in some good money in the base game, but the big wins are a lot harder to accomplish. The expanding symbol in the Free Games is really helpful, creating wins that are impossible in the main game. The absolutely best feature of the expanding symbol is that it connects paylines even if the reels aren’t adjacent. We also like the old-school Double or Nothing feature that can spice up the excitement several notches.

The big reels and symbols make the game easy to follow, but we wish for some more details around the grid. The graphics are also basic, and the music is ridiculously monotonous. Some players might get an adrenaline rush from the blips, but we would appreciate the tune being longer than just a few seconds. The game provider could have made a cool song with this old-school video game sound, or at least more complex than what it is.

This game has an RPT of 95.1%, paying back slightly less to the gambler than the average casino slot. If you play on all paylines – which most players probably do – the payout in the main game is all of a sudden 10 times less than if you play on just 1 payline. Landing 5 in a row of the adventurer would in that case pay 500X to your bet instead of the maximum win of 5000X. So, it’s in the bonus game where you really can make a big win playing on 10 paylines. If you get the adventurer as the expanding symbol and it lands on each of the 5 reels, the grids will expand, showing only adventures. That gives you the max win of 5000X your bet since you’re winning on all 10 paylines, where the game is very similar to the Book of Dead in both theme and features.

Book of Ra Deluxe is a game for the more adventurous player who appreciates the excitement of not knowing what will happen next.
