Unearth the Legend

We invite you to explore Book of Ra, the original Novomatic slot that started the adventure. On our official website you can find the authentic game as offered at licensed online casinos for players in Germany. Book of Ra is a cult classic set in ancient Egypt, where we join a fearless explorer in search of the sun god Ra’s hidden riches. The atmosphere, artwork, and sound come straight from our studio, preserving the look and feel that defined the genre.

Why Book of Ra Captivates

The appeal lies in its high-volatility thrills and the famous Free Games, where a special expanding symbol can fill the reels and elevate wins. With 5x3 reels and up to nine adjustable lines, the gameplay is simple yet tense. For the full experience, play the true Novomatic version at our trusted partner casinos and enjoy the original features and math model that fans know.

Mastering the Reels

Symbols

We step into Book of Ra by learning its symbols. Ancient Egyptian icons fill the reels, each with a clear value. High-paying symbols drive bigger returns, and the Book symbol links the game’s main features.

Symbol Significance
Explorer The highest-paying symbol in the game.
Pharaoh's Sarcophagus The second-highest value symbol.
Statue & Scarab Mid-to-high value symbols.

Paylines and Gameplay

We play on a 5x3 reel layout. The classic Book of Ra version features up to 9 adjustable paylines, so we can tailor our bet per spin. Wins are awarded when matching symbols align on an active payline from left to right, starting from the first reel.

Special Features

We watch for the Book symbol, which acts as both Wild and Scatter. As a Wild, it substitutes for any other symbol to complete winning lines. As a Scatter, three or more anywhere trigger 10 free spins. Before the spins begin, one symbol is randomly chosen as a special expanding symbol. During free spins, if this symbol lands on enough reels to form a win, it expands to cover the entire reel and pays on all active lines, regardless of position.

Unlocking Winning Secrets

Bankroll basics

We set clear limits before we play Book of Ra. Fixing a budget helps us stay in control and avoid chasing losses. By breaking our bankroll into smaller session amounts, we extend playtime and keep the thrill without overreaching.

Volatility and RTP

Book of Ra is high volatility. Wins can be less frequent but can hit hard. The classic version posts an RTP of about 92.13%, while Deluxe sits at 95.10%. With this in mind, we tailor stakes to our goals: smaller, steady bets for longer sessions, or bigger bets when we accept higher risk for bigger potential returns.

Features that drive wins

  • Free Spins bonus: Three or more Book symbols trigger 10 free spins. Before the round starts, one special symbol is chosen at random. When it forms a win, it expands to cover its reel and pays even on non-adjacent positions. This is where the largest payouts can come from.
  • Gamble option: After any win, we can play a 50/50 red-or-black card game to double the payout. It’s risky, so we use it selectively to boost smaller wins.
  • Composure matters: We take regular breaks to keep a clear head and make better decisions.

Experience Deluxe Riches

We present Book of Ra Deluxe, a refreshed take on the classic that keeps the spirit but sharpens sight and sound for players in Germany. We value clarity and pace, and this upgrade delivers both. The theme stays intact.

Enhanced gameplay and visuals

High-definition graphics and smoother animations draw us deeper into ancient Egypt. The upgraded audio and cleaner UI make sessions feel modern without losing the iconic look. It feels familiar yet more focused, with less clutter and better flow.

More lines and higher RTP

Deluxe offers 10 selectable paylines, up from 9 in the original, creating more ways to connect winning combinations. Its RTP rises to 95.1% from 92.13%, while volatility stays high, so dry spells are possible. More lines also allow finer bet control across strategies.

Revamped bonus feature

Three or more Book symbols still trigger 10 Free Games with a special expanding symbol. In Deluxe, crisper effects and transitions amplify the push for a full screen of the chosen symbol. The pacing in the feature feels tighter and more cinematic.
