Book of Ra deluxe

Review

This slot is an improved and upgraded version of the original cult classic by the same name. The version comes with upgraded graphics, soundtrack and a free spins feature that includes expanding symbols. The RTP has been greatly improved also, and you can win up to 10035 times bet on this HIGH variance slot.

RTP, variance & technical data

Before we get into all the fun stuff, we thought you might like to know the most relevant technical data for this slot:

• RTP: 95.1%
• Volatility/Variance: HIGH
• Layout: 5x3
• Paylines: 10
• Bonus features: Free spins with expanding symbols, Risk (double or nothing) and Wilds
• Bets: 0.02 to 20
• Max wins (coins): 10035 x bet

Many things have been greatly improved on the version of this popular game, and among those things is the RTP. The original game had a rather low RTP of only 92.13%, while on the version it has been increased all the way up to 95.1%. Both versions has HIGH volatility, so no significant change there.

This slot is a new and upgraded version of the old classic from 2005. Released around 3 years later, in 2008, the version features 5 reels and 10 paylines (instead of 9 like the original version). The theme from ancient Egypt is the same as the original, and it’s all about discovering treasures and hidden riches.

The online slot is a rising star, and with improved graphics and quirky sound effects it feels like you’re playing it in a real casino rather than online. The HIGH variance and the flexible bet levels (ranging from 2p to £20) makes this a suitable game for most players out there. It’s really a rather basic game, and does not come with fancy animations or tons of features.

Just like the original, this slot is all about the free spins feature, but the version has some surprises up its sleeve that you will not find on the predecessor. All in all, if you liked the original game you will probably like the version even more. It’s essentially just an improved version of the old game (with significantly higher RTP to boot).

bonus features

While it’s the free spins feature that is the main attraction, the gamble feature is also worth mentioning. Any win can be gambled in a 50/50 game of chance, if you choose to click the gamble button below the reels. You can either double your winnings or lose everything, so better choose wisely here.

free spins

This slot is, like the original, all about the free spins feature. However, on the version the free spins come with an additional feature you’ll not find on the original game. You trigger the free spins by landing at least 3 scatters, and this gives you 10 free spins with a 2x multiplier so every win gets doubled.

Before the free spins feature even starts, a symbol is chosen. This symbol will be the expanding symbol, and it can expand over 3 positions on the reels. You can get more than one of this symbol, and this can result in some pretty decent wins. You can also re-trigger more free spins by landing more scatters.

jackpot (max win)

There is no progressive jackpot on this game, but you can win pretty decent payouts even so. The max win is 10035 x bet, which is not too bad for a HIGH variance game.

Mobile & tablet compatibility

You can certainly play this slot on both mobile and tablet, and the simplicity of the game makes it a good fit for the handheld format. Play on any device you wish, be that Android or iPhone and iPad.

verdict

This casino slot is an improvement upon the original, and we like that the free spins feature has been upgraded with some exciting extra features. Graphics, style and soundtrack gives an authentic brick and mortar casino feel, and the simplicity of the game is definitely its strength.
