Book of Ra Deluxe 6 No Deposit Bonuses + Free Spins

About Book of Ra Deluxe from Novomatic

There are countless Ancient Egyptian-themed slots out there on the net, so Novomatic were always going to have to do something different to break into the pack with this release. Despite the extra payline hardly seeming worth creating a "deluxe edition" of their game over, Novomatic's Book of Ra Deluxe has done exceptionally well for itself. So much so, in fact, that hardly anyone bothers to play the original.

Such a simple game probably shouldn't have won as many plaudits as it is, especially since it is quite short on features. It has though, and it is undeniable that there are moments in the game when it is obvious why the slot is entertaining. One of those is when a scatter wild appears. Scatter wilds have a major advantage over standard wilds. Whereas having too many special symbols on the reels can often see players denied a win by a wayward and unhelpful special symbol (the more special symbols there on the reels, the less likely you are to land standard winning combos), Novomatic alleviates this by ensuring that one symbol does the job of both.

Book of Ra Deluxe's non-progressive jackpot isn't going to blow you away, but it is certainly respectable, at 500x your total stake. This is won when the player lands 5 of the Indiana Jones wannabe icons on any payline in the game.

Book of Ra Deluxe Bonus Rounds and Paylines

When 3 or more of the Book of Ra scatter wilds appear on the reels, the free spin bonus round in this slot begins. One of the slot's symbols will be chosen at random, and whenever that icon appears on the reels of the free spin bonus, it will expand to occupy an entire reel when there is a sniff of it being used in a winning combination. As for the free spin bonus itself, players can play with a total of 10 free spins, but the feature cannot be retriggered. You'll need to play the recently released Book of Ra: Magic slot for the retrigger feature.

A gamble feature has also been included in the game, and it can see players gamble any winnings in a 50/50 game of chance. Guess the colour of the next card correctly and you can double your money. Guess incorrectly and you will lose it.

All 10 lines can be altered in this slot, and line bets range from 1p up to £40. In turn, this creates a broad and bold wagering range which stems from 1p per line per spin, up to a maximum stake of £400 a game.

Why is Book of Ra Deluxe So Popular?

The main reason why the game is so popular is that it dishes out ample opportunities for players to land wins, without the need for complex and complicated features. It is also as cheap as chips to play, which always goes down well with fans.

Some of the features you can expect to find in Novomatic's Book of Ra Deluxe include:

• Scatter Wilds
  These take the shape of the titular Book of Ra. The symbols can substitute for all other icons in the game, as well as trigger a free spin bonus when 3 or more appear anywhere on the reels. As you might imagine, scatter wilds count no matter where they fall on the reels and pay out cash prizes, too.
• Simple Gameplay
  With just 10 lines on the reels, all adjustable, players (especially newbies) can get to grips with the features of this game incredibly simply.
• Free Spins
  There is a free spin bonus for you to enjoy in this slot, too, and although it is somewhat basic, it does have a nifty expanding symbol feature to offer players.
