Book of Dead Free Demo

When talking about the most popular slot machines available on the global market, it will be a miscarriage of justice to skip past the name Book of Dead. Ever since Play n’ GO released the Book of Dead slot in 2016, it has and continues to win the hearts of multitudes of players. Such is the popularity of this game that since its release, Play n’ GO as well as several other game developers have been forced to design revamped and beefed-up versions of the ‘Book of’ slot. The Book of Dead slot therefore can be attributed to ushering its own slots series (franchise)! To learn more about the specifics of this slot machine, we recommend that you take just a couple of minutes to read this detailed Book of Dead slot review.

In 2016 when the Book of Dead slot was released, the Ancient Egypt theme was already a common feature in the slots industry. However, most Ancient Egyptian-themed slots at that time followed the same pattern on the graphics front. Play n’ GO in designing the Book of Dead slot, however, chose a different route something which inadvertently ended up distinguishing and popularising the slot. Play n’ GO chose the character of Rich Wilde as the main character. Rich Wilde once the game action gets going embarks on a voyage of discovery to Egypt in search of precious treasures and most importantly, the ‘Book of Dead’. 

Game Aesthetics

The slot is set against a backdrop of the interior of a colossal structure. Putting two and two together and at the same time considering the fact that the game comes with an ancient Egyptian theme, we can only assume that this colossal structure is a pyramid hence this slot takes you right inside a pyramid! Isn’t this simply stunning? Two huge golden pillars stand on either side of the reel grid. The grid itself is located in the center of the construction and is wholly covered in gold.

Book Of Dead Key Game Details

The playing grid of the Book of Dead slot is quite standard. It comes in a 5 x 3-reel format featuring 10 paylines. However, players need to note that the paylines are customisable. The arrows attached to the ‘Lines’ tab enable players to adjust the paylines upwards or downwards. When players adjust downwards the paylines, they can play on as low as just one payline. This makes Book of Dead highly appealing to penny players.

When playing for real money, the supported coin values for each payline stand at 0.01 coins to 1.00 coin. Essentially, this means when using just one payline and the lowest possible coin value, players can wager with an extremely low amount of just 0.01 coins per spin! Mid-range players and high rollers are also accommodated as the max bet sits at a respectable 50.00 coins per spin.

The Book of Dead ranks as a highly volatile slot machine. As such, players ought to note that when spinning the reels, it may take them several spins before they land win lines. The great thing however is that whenever the win lines come, they offer relatively high payouts. Owing to the fact that win lines may come less frequently, players are advised to structure their bankroll in a way that sustains their gaming session for a long time.

On the reel-spinning front, Book of Dead offers two options. When utilising the big blue Spin button, players will spin the reels manually. This in essence means after every spin, players will need to click the Spin button once more to get the action going. Players who don’t want this hassle can simply enable the auto-play feature and set the number of times they want the reels to spin automatically without interruption.
