Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead by Play’nGO

It’s the latest installment in the archaeological bestseller of the decade! Rich Wilde is scouring the ancient tombs of Egypt, seeking out treasure and hunting the elusive Book of the Dead. Get your trusted guides ready, and don’t forget to pack extra provisions, because we’re following Rich deep into the mysteries of Ancient Egypt.

Designed by the well-known provider, Play’nGo, Book of Dead is everything you’d expect from a wild, mystical Ancient Egyptian adventure. With lively music underscoring the adventure, excitement is kept flowing as the hieroglyphs flash before your eyes, perhaps writing the story of your destiny…

The Book of Dead has 5 reels, 3 rows, and 10 paylines. You have the option to regulate your bets through manipulating the coin value, number of coins, and number of lines. These can be used in any combination to try to hit one of the four-figure jackpots offered by Book of Dead.

If you want to go for a less nuanced/more relaxed approach the Bet Max option lets you set the maximum wager and spins the reel automatically.

Once you’re all set up just click spin! Or you can take advantage of the Autoplay feature which spins the reels without interruption as many times as you want!

There are 11 symbols to keep an eye on: the lowest paying symbols are the playing cards 10, J, Q, K and A; mid-paying are the Horus and Anubis symbols; with Osiris, Book of Dead and Rich Wilde symbols paying out the most.

Landing 5 matching Osiris symbols in a payline gives you a 200x jackpot, while 5 matching Rich Wildes or Book of Dead symbols can reward you with 500x payouts.

The Book of Dead symbol acts as both the wild and the scatter, and matching three or more of this symbol rewards you with free spins on top of your initial 10 free spins.

The Wilde-st payout is 5000x the maximum jackpot when you’re lucky enough to fill all the reels with Rich Wilde symbols.

The free spin feature randomly selects a symbol to act as a special expanding symbol for that round; expanded symbols do not need to be next to each other for a winning combination. The special symbol will expand only when extra prizes can be won on the active paylines.

This game is massively popular and can be played online at South African online casinos that offer Play’n Go games.

Book of Dead is available to play on mobile, desktop or laptop. It is supported on iOS, Windows, Linux and Android. Recommended browsers include Safari, Chrome, Edge, Firefox and others. Game resolution is 16:9.

Thanks to this game’s medium volatility, you can expect some highs and lows. This means, while there may be a few big losses and wins, this game also calls for some time and patience. A strategy that could work well is to place medium bets, rather than small ones, to play a riskier and slightly faster game, but to avoid blowing the bankroll with fast, high-risk bets.

If you’re a seasoned slots player looking for a new chapter in adventure, this is a great game to try. It’s a little intense for newcomers to slots, who may find it a bit challenging, and we therefore recommend it as one for the player with a bit of experience.
