How Book of Dead differs
Play'n GO's pages for Book of Dead and Legacy of Dead print no RTP, volatility or maximum win, so those cells are left empty.
Both games' rules screens give the top prize in coins rather than as a multiple of the bet, so no maximum win is listed for either.
In Book of Dead, one ordinary symbol is picked before the free spins and can expand to fill its reel; in Legacy of Dead, the Tomb is both the scatter that opens the free spins and a wild, and the official text calls the potential for free spins unlimited.
The Rise of Olympus titles are another Play'n GO series; their maximum wins come from each official demo's rules screen: 15,000x for Rise of Olympus 100, 50,000x for Rise of Olympus Extreme and 60,000x for Rise of Olympus 1000 (with normal bets, as its screen says).
How it plays
Book of Dead is an online slot from Play'n GO starring Rich Wilde. The game centres around the Expanding Symbol, which comes into play in the free spins. This page covers only the rules and figures that are officially published and offers no way to win.
Landing enough Scatter Symbols on the reels unlocks the free spins.
Before the free spins begin, an ordinary symbol is chosen at random to act as the Special Expanding Symbol for the whole free spins sequence.
After the prizes for regular winning combinations have been recognised, that symbol may expand to cover all positions on its reel. It expands only when additional prizes can be awarded along active paylines.
Expanded symbols do not need to sit next to each other to form a winning combination. Further Scatter Symbols during the free spins can re-trigger them.
Every round is random and earlier results have no effect on the next one. This site gives no betting advice.
