What is the difference between Classic and Deluxe?

The Deluxe version features 10 paylines (instead of 9), improved graphics, smoother animations, and slightly higher volatility for bigger wins.

How does the Expanding Symbol work?

At the start of Free Spins, one symbol is chosen randomly. If enough of these land on different reels to form a win, they expand to cover the entire reel, paying on all 10 lines even if they aren't adjacent.

Can I retrigger Free Spins?

Yes! Landing 3 or more Books during the bonus round awards 10 extra spins with the SAME special expanding symbol. Retriggers are the key to massive payouts.

Is it high volatility?

Yes, Book of Ra Deluxe is known for its high volatility. You may have long dry spells, but the bonus round can pay up to 5,000x your bet in a single spin.

Book of Ra Deluxe Slot Review 2025

Before Book of Dead, there was Book of Ra. This is the game that started it all, defining the "Book" genre of slots that dominates online casinos today. Developed by Novomatic (Greentube), the Deluxe version takes the classic land-based casino favorite and gives it a digital polish with 10 paylines and enhanced graphics.

You play as an explorer (who looks suspiciously like Indiana Jones) searching for the Book of Ra in the tombs of Ancient Egypt. The game is simple, brutal, and incredibly rewarding—exactly what high-volatility players love.

How to Win at Book of Ra Deluxe: A Kiwi's Guide

The base game pays decently for 5-of-a-kind wins, but the real goal is to trigger the Free Spins. This is where the legendary "Expanding Symbol" mechanic comes into play.

💡 Pro Tip: Use the Gamble Feature wisely. After any win, you can try to double it by guessing the color of a card (Red or Black). It's a 50/50 shot. We recommend using it only on small wins (less than 5x bet) to try and boost your bankroll.

1. The Book Symbol (Wild & Scatter)

The Book of Ra symbol serves double duty:

Wild: It substitutes for all other symbols to complete winning lines.
Scatter: Landing 3 or more anywhere on the reels triggers 10 Free Spins.

2. Free Spins with Expanding Symbols

Before the spins start, the book opens and randomly selects one symbol to be the Special Expanding Symbol.

During the free spins, if this symbol lands on enough reels to form a win (2 for high value, 3 for low value), it expands to cover the entire reel. Crucially, these expanded symbols pay on all 10 paylines, even if the reels are not adjacent!

The Dream Scenario: Getting the Explorer as your special symbol and landing 5 of him. He expands to fill the whole screen, paying 5,000x your bet instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is Book of Ra Deluxe better than Book of Dead?

It's a matter of taste. Book of Dead has better graphics and a slightly higher RTP (96.21% vs 95.10%), but Book of Ra Deluxe has a nostalgic charm and "feel" that many veteran players prefer.

Can I change the number of paylines?

Yes, unlike many modern slots, you can choose to play with 1 to 10 lines. However, we strongly recommend playing all 10 lines to maximize your chances of landing the bonus.

Is there a mobile app?

No app is needed. The game runs perfectly in your mobile browser at SpinBit NZ.

What is the max bet?

The max bet is usually around NZ$50, but this can vary depending on the casino's specific limits.
