Book of Dead Pokie Review

book-of-dead-slot-logoPlay’N Go just released the third installment of the adventures of Rich Wilde, in the first one called Aztec Idols we visited pyramids and ruins in Mexico, the second was Pearls Of India which was published last year, both of these titles were very popular in the online gaming community. This time we will join Rich on his adventures around Egypt, his mission is to find the mythic Book of Dead (and no, it is not a typo, for some reason the developers decided to name it that way). This game can be played from most mobile devices.

With a 6×3 set of reels and 20 paylines this game reminds be a little bit of the console game Uncharted, the small details added to the design of the game create a visually appealing layout, for example the symbols that were created for Book of Dead are tiny masterpieces depicting Egyptian iconography like images of Anubis or Ra, the Book of Dead itself and of course our hero Rich Wilde.

Developer

Play’n Go have become a very popular video pokie developer, their games combine cool looking designs with interesting gameplay and features; all of their releases can be played without downloading a thing, since they are web-based and can be enjoyed by people from all over the world because they offer no less than 30 languages. Some of their best titles are Wild Blood, Eye of the Kraken and Tower Quest.

How to Play It

Player’s interactions with the interface are not great in this game, since they are limited to setting the value of the coins you wager in a range between 0.01 and 2, and hitting the spin button.

Special Features

In this game the Book of Dead symbol is the most important feature since it serves two purposes, first it can be used as a wild symbol which means it can replace another symbol, increasing the chances of a forming a winning combination; the second purpose it serves is that it can also functions as a scatter symbol, by combining three of them you will first have to randomly select a symbol, when you do you will win 10 free spins, during the free spin round the symbol you choose will be highlighted, if you get a combination all of the highlighted symbols will invade the rest of the spaces of their respective reels providing players with great rewards.

Maximum Payout

The jackpot of this game is set at an impressive 250,000 coins, Book of Dead includes a theoretical Return To Player set at 96.2%.

Summary

I found this game to be very entertaining, the design is great even when Play’N Go used regular card symbols on the reels, they compensated by crafting their original symbols in a beautiful way and also by creating awe inspiring animations; even the soundtrack is pretty good.

The special features are pretty cool, using the main element of the theme as the most rewarding symbol of the game was a good move by the developers, the free spin round and the original bonus of the randomly selected symbol to help you win more is very appealing.

There is one thing that might get players to dislike this title, one of the most popular pokie machines played in casino is called Book of Ra developed by Novomatic. It is not the theme that troubles me since Egypt is the inspiration for many games, but the use of identical features as the ones included in Book of Ra is a blatant rip-off, they even have the same 6×3 set of reels and 10 paylines.
