About Book of Dead
Book of Dead is Play'n GO's most famous slot and for several years the single most-played slot on the Swedish market. You follow adventurer Rich Wilde into an Egyptian tomb across five reels and ten paylines, with a classic setup reminiscent of the genre's originator, Book of Ra.
The whole game revolves around the book symbol, which is both scatter and wild. Three books trigger ten free spins, and before the round starts a random special symbol is selected. That symbol expands to cover entire reels when it appears during free spins, which is the route to the 5000x max win. Land the highest symbol expanded across several reels and a single free spin can pay enormously.
RTP across casinos
Book of Dead has a theoretical default RTP of 96.21%. Across the 15 casinos we measure, the actual RTP ranges from 94.25% to 96.21% — a 1.96 percentage-point gap. In other words, which casino you choose affects your long-term return on the exact same game.
The best RTP right now is at Betsson at 96.21%.
Volatility and variance
Book of Dead has high volatility. Wins are rarer but can be large, and most of the potential sits in the bonus feature. Keep a bankroll that can absorb longer losing streaks. The max win is 5000x.

Book of Dead is high-volatility and nearly all the potential sits in the free spins round with the expanding symbol. Hope a high-value symbol is selected — that is when the big wins are built. The gamble feature (card/colour) can double a win but adds a lot of variance and is only advisable with small amounts. Most important: the RTP varies sharply between casinos. Half the casinos we measure run a lower 94.25% version instead of 96.21% — almost two percentage points worse. The table above shows which version each casino runs.
