Our verdict on Book of Dead

Still a fair test of how much volatility you like: simple rules, long quiet spells and a feature that swings hard. Check the RTP before you play, because the common setting is 94.25%, below most modern pokies.

How it plays

Five reels and ten lines you can switch off. Three books start ten free spins, and one symbol is picked to expand: it fills its reel whenever enough of it lands, even on lines that don’t touch. That round can pay nothing, or a lot.

What we like

  • Rules you can learn in a spin or two
  • Expanding symbol can fill the whole screen
  • Top win of 5,000x your bet

Worth knowing

  • High volatility: long runs without a win
  • RTP of 94.25% on the usual setting
  • Feels dated next to cluster and tumble games
