Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead

Adopt the life of a great explorer as you travel to Egypt in search of the legendary Book of the Dead. Make your way through the trap-filled pyramids and uncover their ancient secrets.

Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead, as the game is formally called, features very simple visuals. The background consists of a static image of a few columns leading to the entrance of a temple or pyramid while the reels are encased in a border featuring Egyptian patterns. The logo of the game is found at the top of the screen dominating the rest of the landscape around it.

As for the mechanics, the game follows the classic reel-after-reel action without implementing any innovative elements. As expected, winning symbols become animated and trigger an audio effect.

How to Play Book of Dead

The game consists of 3 rows and 5 reels with 10 non-fixed paylines. The controls are found below the main interface allowing the player to select the preferred bet size, enable the autoplay function or simply spin the reels. More options are available through the in-game menu.

Moving on, the game features 5 low-paying and 4 high-paying symbols. The first come in the form of card values 10-A while the latter are represented by the sign of the god Ra, Anubis, the pharaoh, and last but not least, the game’s protagonist, Rich Wilde.

The special symbols are:

• Wild/Scatter – The slot’s wild and scatter symbol is none other than the book of dead. 3 or more scatters trigger the free spins feature. The wild substitutes for any symbol and since it is also a scatter, it pays anywhere on the reels.

Book of Dead Features

Due to the game’s high volatility, the number of bonus features is limited and as you might have expected, the bigger wins hinge on the free spins. But the free spins aren’t as simple as you think. Let’s check them out!
