Book of Ra
Book of Ra slot is part of one of the most popular games series from Novomatic. It is the first of Book of Ra Slots, the original game that started it all. Book of Ra Deluxe is the version with 10 paylines and Book of Ra Deluxe 6 has an extra reel. The game itself is quite simple, has unspectacular symbols and standard slot machine sounds. The theme of the game is Ancient Egypt and you can explore the treasures of the pyramid together with the adventurer. The Book of Ra is the main symbol in the game, because it's a wild as well as a scatter symbol that can start free spins with a special expanding bonus symbol.
The variance of the game is medium and you'll probably get regular winning combinations. The free spins can lead to some fantastic wins, especially when the symbol expands. The theoretical return to player is 92.13%, which is very low by today's standards of online slots. The average for most modern games is around 96%. You can also play Book of Ra mobile because the game has been designed to be compatible with many mobile devices.

Free spins with bonus symbols
The Egyptian book is the special symbol in the game, as it is both a wild symbol and a scatter symbol. Three of those symbols will start 10 free spins. Before the free spins start, one of the symbols is selected at random and will become the bonus symbol.
During the free spins, this bonus symbol can expand onto the reels after winnings have been paid out. The bonus symbol will also be a scatter symbol and it can pay scatter wins. The free spins can also be retriggered. In the free spins game, the wild symbol does not replace the selected bonus symbol, but does replace other symbols for winning combinations.
There is also a gamble feature available that lets you stake winnings from a game round again for a chance to increase them. You have to click on the correct card colour in the right moment. If you've guessed correctly, your win will be doubled, and if you're wrong, you lose the bet. You can also gamble multiple times in a row.
