What is Book of Dead
Book of Dead is the Play'n GO slot that shaped the modern "book" game. It runs on 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 paylines, with explorer Rich Wilde digging through tombs in search of pharaohs' gold.
It is one of the most requested titles at Cas2Bet because the rules are easy to pick up while the prize potential is anything but small. You can try it free in Fun Play, straight in your browser or through the PWA app, before staking real money.
The book and the expanding symbol
The Book does two jobs: it is the wild, standing in for other symbols, and it is the scatter. Three or more books anywhere on the reels trigger 10 free spins, and before they start the game picks one special symbol at random.
Whenever that symbol lands during the bonus, it expands to fill the whole reel and pays as if it were on every line. That is where the screenshot-worthy wins come from. There is also a gamble feature that lets you try to double a win by guessing red or black.
Because the special symbol is chosen before the spins begin, each bonus has its own character, and the value of the symbol you draw shapes how big the round can get.
RTP, volatility and which version you get
The standard build returns 96.21%. Play'n GO also supplies reduced-RTP copies (94.25% or lower) to some operators; Cas2Bet aims to offer the full-RTP version.
Volatility is high and the maximum win is 5,000x your stake. Expect lukewarm runs in the base game, with the real excitement packed into the free spins. Smaller bets help your balance last until the bonus arrives.
How to play, step by step
Getting Rich Wilde to work takes under a minute. Create your account at cas2bet.com, deposit in euros and activate the welcome bonus for some extra balance.
Search for Book of Dead in the slots tab and set your stake, which starts at 0.10; starting low helps you play longer. Spin for three books and hope for a strong special symbol in the free spins.
