GET TO KNOW THE GAME
What is Book of Dead?
Book of Dead is a Rich Wilde adventure from Play’n GO. Its Ancient Egyptian setting provides the theme, while expanding symbols during free spins provide the main feature to understand. The relatively focused feature set makes it a useful contrast with the studio’s more complex grid games. This page covers the original Book of Dead released in 2016. Book of Dead GO Collect is a separate title with an additional collection system, so its vault features should not be assumed to exist here.
An option for readers who want one recognisable bonus idea. For a larger board and chained reactions from the same studio, compare Reactoonz.
What makes it different?
Rich Wilde’s Egyptian setting
The original game follows the explorer into Ancient Egypt. The themed symbols identify the game but do not change the need to read its paytable.
Book of Dead’s expanding symbol
The free-spin feature uses an expanding-symbol rule. The help screen explains which symbol is selected and when expansion takes effect.
The Book of Dead free-spin feature
The bonus is the key change from normal reel play. Check the trigger and retrigger instructions in the loaded version rather than borrowing rules from a sequel.
How to explore Book of Dead
- Confirm that you have opened Book of Dead rather than the GO Collect edition.
- Read the base-game symbol table and the expanding-symbol explanation.
- During free spins, notice the selected feature symbol and compare its behaviour with the ordinary reel symbols.
