Book of Dead Description
Book of Dead is the first in the Rich Wilde series of games from Play’n Go. It sees you taking the position of the titular adventurer as you try to make it all the way to the bottom of an Egyptian pyramid and walk away with the treasures of the pharaohs. It adds sharp graphics and music to really make this theme hit home and stand out.
Rich Wilde appears as a symbol in the game, and he looks like a young Indiana Jones, underscoring exactly what you can expect from this game. Even the lower-value symbols have an Egyptian style, with hieroglyphs appearing and helping to create wins. It all sets the stage for an atmospheric experience on every spin.
The features in Book of Dead aren’t as comprehensive as the ones you’ll find in some other games. You get a free spins round, which comes from the wild/scatter symbol. During this round, the reels are boosted, making them potentially more valuable than they are during the base game.
Features of Book of Dead
Book of Dead is a game that likes to keep things simple. The base game uses 10 paylines to create wins and a 5x3 grid, which is a classic slot layout. On top of this, the wild symbol can help to create wins and trigger free spins. The dual use helps players create wins because it means there isn’t another symbol on the reels clogging things up.

Book of Dead Bonus Features
There’s not a very big range of bonus features in Book of Dead, but what is there is helpful when it lands. It has a single bonus round, which comes when you manage to land enough wilds on the reels.
Free Spins
The free spins round triggers when you land at least 3 scatters on the reels. They’re also wild symbols, so they can help to create winning lines when they land. This means it’s possible to get a win on a payline, an instant payout from the scatters, and the free spins feature from a single spin.
Once you land at least 3 scatters, you’ll get 10 spins. You can retrigger the free spins during the round, and it will add another 10 spins onto your total. Landing extra scatters won’t award more spins on the initial trigger, but it does increase the scatter payout. A maximum of 200x the stake is available for 5 scatters.
During the round, a high-value symbol is chosen at random to become a special symbol. However, the wild can’t be one of the special symbols. Whenever the special symbol lands as part of a win, it expands and fills the reels to cover more paylines and create bigger wins. If you get Rich Wilde as the special symbol, it’s possible to win the max win of 5,000x your stake.
