Gamble feature on every win.Double or quadruple a win by calling a card’s color or suit, playable up to five times in a row.

How the expedition unfolds

Three moments define a round in the tomb — from the base 5×3 grid to the Book of Dead’s dual Wild/Scatter role and the expanding-symbol free spins.

01

Base game on a 5×3 grid

5 reels, 3 rows, 10 fixed paylines: match matching symbols left to right on an active line to win, with the golden Book of Dead substituting for every other regular symbol.

02

The Book of Dead triggers Free Spins

Land 3, 4 or 5 Book symbols anywhere on the reels — they act as Scatters and award 10 Free Spins, with more scatters during the round adding to the payout.

03

Expanding symbol & Gamble

Before the free spins start, one regular symbol is randomly chosen to expand across its whole reel on winning spins. Afterwards, any win can be gambled on a card’s color or suit. Maximum win: 5,000x the stake.

The mechanics behind every dig

The 5×3 grid keeps Book of Dead's rules simple, while the Book symbol's dual role and the expanding-symbol free spins add the depth that made this Play’n GO title a genre-defining classic.

Wild & Scatter in one

The Book of Dead symbol substitutes for every other icon as a Wild, and 3 or more anywhere on the reels scatter into 10 Free Spins.

Expanding Symbol & Gamble

A random symbol expands to fill its reel throughout Free Spins, and any win can be gambled on a card’s color (2x) or suit (4x) up to five times running.

FAQ

Can you play Book of Dead for free?+

Yes — most operators offer a demo mode with no registration and no real bets, a good way to see the expanding-symbol free spins and the Gamble feature before playing for real money.

What does the Book of Dead symbol do?+

It's a dual-role symbol: as a Wild it substitutes for every other icon in a winning combination, and 3 or more Book symbols anywhere on the reels act as Scatters that trigger Free Spins.

How do the expanding-symbol Free Spins work?+

Landing 3 Book scatters awards 10 Free Spins. Before they start, one regular symbol is chosen at random to become the expanding symbol — it fills the entire reel whenever it lands during a winning spin, and 3 more scatters during Free Spins retrigger another 10 spins.

How volatile is Book of Dead, and what's the max win?+

Book of Dead is a high-volatility slot with an RTP of 96.21% by default (some operators run lower-RTP variants) and a maximum win of 5,000x the stake — dry spells are common, but the Free Spins round can pay out heavily when the expanding symbol cooperates.
