Book Slots in and out of Egypt – Exciting Free Spins with Bonus Symbols

Book slots are well-known and loved everywhere. But what makes these games so special and why are there so many set in Egypt?

All of the book slot machines have something in common. There is a special book or other symbol that triggers free spins.

The free spins have at least one special bonus symbol that expands to all positions of the reel, and pays out another win. A full screen would be the best case scenario.

There are many variants of online book slots, but what most have in common is a higher volatility, which increases the games' winning potential and makes them more risky.

Most book slots have an Egyptian theme, as the pharaohs and their legendary treasuries are very popular with players. But there are also games that deviate from this theme, although their functionality remains the same.

We've collected some of the best book slots here, which you can play with real money at online casinos.

The many variants of Book of Ra

The original Novomatic Greentube game with the popular full-screen free spins is Book of Ra Classic, but players mostly prefer the Book of Ra Deluxe version.

These slot games are always about the adventurer who is searching the golden book in a lost Egyptian tomb.

There are many versions of the game available, all of which are slightly different.

• Book of Ra: 5 reels, 9 lines and free spins with one randomly chosen expanding bonus symbol
• Book of Ra Deluxe: 5 reels, 10 lines and free spins with one randomly chosen expanding bonus symbol
• Book of Ra Magic: 5 reels, 10 lines and free spins with a randomly chosen expanding bonus symbol, but one additional bonus symbol is chosen with each re-trigger, up to a maximum of 9
• Book of Ra Deluxe 6: 6 reels, 10 lines and free spins with one random expanding bonus symbol

Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead

Play'n GO has created another popular variant of the original game. In Book of Dead you join the adventurer Rich Wilde in his quest to find the mysterious book.

There are many treasures to be found on the five reels with ten pay-lines. The book with the scarab beetle is the wild-scatter symbol that substitutes for other symbols and starts the free spins with the bonus symbol.

What distinguishes Book of Dead from other games are the beautiful graphics and the accompanying music, which support the mysterious atmosphere.

Book of Madness

Developer Gamomat's chilling variant takes you to an abandoned hospital where the zombie nurse is chasing you around abandoned hallways.

Again, you are looking for the mysterious book that can trigger the free spins with the special bonus symbol.

Book of Madness is a welcome change from the typical Egyptian theme, and offers tons of fun with beautiful graphics and chilling music.

Book of Crazy Chicken

Shooting the chickens has always been a lot of fun. Book of Crazy Chicken is all about finding the book for the free spins. But be careful! The mummy is trying to chase you away.

Ramses Book

Ramses Book from Gamomat is a visually appealing variant of the game. The slot also uses the standard 5-reel, 10-line layout.

The game is a good alternative for players who cannot play Book of Ra, but still want to experience the same game-play.

John Hunter and the Book of Tut

The Pragmatic Play slot John Hunter and the Book of Tut takes you to the sandy desert of Egypt, where you and the adventurer John Hunter search for the book of Tutankhamun in his burial chamber.

The special free games start with the book, in which the popular full screens are then made possible by symbol expansions.

Legacy of Dead

Legacy of Dead from Play'n GO has beautiful graphics and great accompanying music that make the slot stand out from others.

There are also exciting free spins with bonus symbols, offering a maximum win of 5000x your bet.

However, if you manage to extend the free spins, another bonus symbol will be chosen, offering the rare possibility of up to nine bonus symbols.
