Book of Ra Slot Review – Demo, RTP & Features

Book of Ra is a video slot from Novomatic. While the software provider is perhaps best known for the follow-on version, which typically is referred to as “Book of Ra Deluxe’, the original game remains popular with players. You’ll see why, within this review, you should consider trying it.

Now, suppose you’re familiar with the Book of Ra series. In that case, you’ll probably know that the game’s themed around Ancient Egypt.

Egyptian-themed Symbols on the reels, including a Pharaoh, a Scarab Beetle, an Anca, a Winged ISIS, and, of course, the game’s scatter symbols which take the form of a Book.

The game can be played from as little as 20p per spin, with the maximum spin amount – dependent on the casino you’re playing at – capped between €200 and €400. It’s also worth mentioning that Book of Ra is – somewhat – mobile optimized, so you can enjoy the game’s action from your phone, tablet, or phablet device.

While this can’t be said for all of Novomatic’s Slots (they were one of the last land-based slot development companies to ‘port’ their games over for online play, it’s certainly an excellent addition and ensures that you can enjoy the slot’s action from virtually anywhere you want!

Game Features

There are no random features or bonuses to be found within Book of Ra… but what you will find is a lucrative free spins bonus round, and this is triggered by landing 3, 4, or 5 of the scatter symbols anywhere in view during the main base game.

Once you do so, you’ll be awarded 10 free spins, and before the spins begin, one symbol will be chosen randomly. This symbol then becomes your special expanding symbol.

During the bonus round, any time this symbol lands in view, you’ll notice that it expands to cover the entire reel that it feels, meaning if you land one of each of the special symbols on all five reels.

You’ll be paid for a full screen of that specific symbol! It’s also possible to re-trigger the feature simply by landing yet another 3, 4, or 5 of the scatter symbols anywhere in view, and if you manage to do so, you’ll be awarded an additional 10 free spins.
