Gameplay & Mechanics
Book of Dead follows Rich Wilde through ancient Egypt in a classic 5-reel, 10-payline setup. The gameplay is deliberately simple — spin, land symbols, collect wins. The Book symbol acts as both Wild and Scatter, triggering the main bonus round when 3 or more appear anywhere on the reels. High-value symbols include the Eye of Ra, the Ankh, and Rich Wilde himself.
Bonus Features
The centrepiece of Book of Dead is the Free Spins round. Land 3+ Book scatters to trigger 10 free spins. Before they begin, one symbol is randomly chosen as a special expanding symbol — if it hits during free spins, it expands to fill the entire reel. Retriggering the feature during free spins is possible, adding another 10 spins. The expanding symbol mechanic is what creates those legendary 5,000x wins.
RTP & Volatility Explained
At 96.21% RTP, Book of Dead sits comfortably above the industry average. However, this is a high-volatility game — expect long dry spells between significant wins. Canadian players should budget accordingly and treat it as a long-session, high-ceiling game rather than a steady earner. In Ontario, all RTPs must be independently verified under AGCO regulations.
Where to Play in Canada
Book of Dead is available at virtually every AGCO-regulated Ontario online casino and at major operators serving Alberta and British Columbia. Top Canadian options include Bet99, PokerStars Casino CA, and BetMGM Canada. Always ensure the casino is properly licensed in your province and accepts CAD deposits.
