Book of Ra was Novomatic's first enormous slot
machine success. It's been such a popular game
across most European land based casinos, that
they later wanted to modernize it and make a
deluxe version of it. And so they did, with the
now way more popular
Book of Ra deluxe. If you prefer the old
styled slot machines, Book of Ra might appeal
more to you than the deluxe version, as it looks
way older and have some simpler sounds and
graphics. However, the maximal potential win is
the same for both versions, 700x (200x+500x) the
stake in the base game if you get 5 books on a
payline and 5.000x the stake in the free spins
if you get 5 explorers. The payout percentage on
this original version of Book of Ra is just too
low in my opinion. It's expected to pay back a
low 92.13% of all the total wagers made. That is
3% less than the deluxe version of Book of Ra,
which seems to be a way better choice to play.

Book of Ra has wild symbols on all the reels,
and these symbols substitute for all other
symbols on this slot machine. The wild symbols
are also the symbols that trigger the free spin
feature on Book of Ra. So it's a combined wild
and scatter symbol, that never blocks out any
winning combinations. I personally think that
this is a great way to make the free spin
feature trigger, and it can include some huge
wins in the triggering combination. 5 wilds
alone anywhere on the screen pays 200x the
stake, and if you get them on a payline they pay
an additional 500x for substituting the top
paying combination of 5 explorers, and as if
that's not enough, it also triggers the free
spin feature. Book of Ra let you gamble any wins
you get during your play, that can be done by
clicking on the "gamble" button after a spin has
ended. The gamble feature has no house edge, so
it's actually a really good bet.
Free spins: As I said above, the wild
symbols also work as the free spin triggering
scatters for on this slot machine. That means
that as long as you get 3 or more wild symbols
anywhere on the screen, the free spin feature is
triggered. When the feature starts, a book is
shown on the screen and the symbols from the
base game will slide by one after one. One of
the symbols will stop on the book, and this will
be your special symbol during the free spins.
This symbol will then become expanding, and it
will also pay as a scatter. That means that you
don't need to get the symbols from left to
right, you win as long as you have enough
visible symbols on the reels. The special symbol
will expand when you have enough symbols for a
winning combination, and the prize will be paid
for all the 9 paylines you win on. The free spin
feature is possible to re-trigger, and as on
many other Greentube slots, it happens quite
frequently.
