Book Of Ra
The Legend Unveiled
We present Book of Ra, the classic slot that ignited the Egypt‑themed craze and still draws fans across Germany. First launched by Austrian studio Novomatic for land-based cabinets in 2005 and adapted for online play in 2008, it keeps the formula tight and rewarding. The 5-reel, 9-line layout is easy to learn, while the game’s bold symbols—the Explorer, idols, scarabs, and the Book itself—anchor a style players recognise and trust. On our platform, we keep the experience faithful to the original, with clear rules and straight‑ahead betting options that suit quick sessions and longer runs alike.

Master the core features
We focus on what makes every spin count. The Book works double duty: it substitutes as a Wild for any symbol and acts as a Scatter to trigger 10 Free Games when three or more land anywhere. Before Free Spins start, one regular pay symbol is randomly selected to become expanding. When it hits, it can stretch to fill a reel and pays on all lines even without adjacent positions. This simple twist can stack wins rapidly, with sequences reaching up to 45,000 coins during the feature.
Why we keep playing
- Expanding symbols turn bonus rounds into real game changers
- 9 adjustable lines support tight bankroll control
- Trusted Egyptian iconography builds instant comfort
- Medium–high volatility keeps big hits in play
Book of Ra delivers clear rules, steady pace, and the chance at 5,000× on the Explorer—slot play distilled to its essentials

Master the Reels
Core gameplay
We bring you Book of Ra (Novomatic, 2005) on a classic 5 × 3 layout with nine manually selectable paylines. Set your coin value between €0.01 and €5.00, pick how many lines to activate, then hit Start or switch on Autoplay. Wins count left to right on active lines, except Scatter wins, and only the highest win per line is paid.
Symbols and payouts
The Book symbol does double duty as both Wild and Scatter. It substitutes for all symbols, pays scatter prizes of 2×, 20×, 200×, or 2,000× your total stake for 2–5 Books, and three or more Books open the bonus round.
| Explorer | 5 of a kind = 5,000× line bet |
| Pharaoh’s Mask | up to 2,000× line bet |
| Scarab & Golden Statue | up to 750× |
| A, K | up to 150× |
| Q, J, 10 | up to 100× |
A full line of Explorers is the top single-line payout. Hitting that win across all nine lines equals 45,000× your stake.
Free spins
Three or more Books trigger 10 free spins. Before they start, the Book reveals a random expanding symbol. During free games, this symbol expands to fill its reel when enough copies land—two for picture symbols, three for royals—and then pays as Scatter, so adjacent placement isn’t required. Another 3+ Books retrigger 10 more spins with no cap, supporting the slot’s theoretical 45,000× maximum win.
RTP and volatility
The original land-based release has an RTP of 92.13%, while most regulated online editions run at 94.26%. Volatility is high, so dry spells can occur before larger hits, most often during the expanding-symbol bonus.
At a glance
- 5 reels, 9 adjustable paylines, high-variance play
- Book symbol as both Wild and Scatter
- 10 Free Spins with unlimited retriggers and an expanding special symbol
- Top single-line win: 5 Explorers = 5,000× line bet
- Autoplay and red/black Gamble available in most jurisdictions
Beyond the Original: Ra's Evolution
The pioneering Book of Ra reshaped land-based floors in 2005 and moved online soon after. Since then, Novomatic’s Greentube team has grown the series into a rich portfolio. The core “book” mechanic stays, while visuals, features, and payout potential are tuned for modern play. We bring these official versions together so you can choose the experience that fits your style.
| Title | Reels / Paylines | RTP | Signature Feature | Max Win |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Book of Ra Deluxe | 5 × 3 / 10 | 95.03 % | Enhanced graphics, 10th payline | 5,000× stake |
| Book of Ra Magic | 5 × 3 / 10 | 95.03 % | Up to 9 expanding symbols in Free Spins | 5,000× stake |
| Book of Ra 6 | 6 × 3 / 10* | 95.02 % | Optional 6th reel for 6-of-a-kind wins | 7,500× stake |
| Book of Ra Jackpot Edition | 5 × 3 / 10 | 95.00 % | Four linked progressive jackpots (Mini, Minor, Major, Grand) | Progressive |
| Book of Ra – Temple of Gold | 5 × 3 / 10 | 95.18 % | Female explorer, selectable volatility in bonus | 5,000× stake |
*Activating the 6th reel doubles the stake but introduces lucrative six-symbol combinations.
Book of Ra Deluxe
Deluxe refines the look and adds a tenth payline, nudging hit frequency without changing the iconic expanding-symbol Free Games. The soundtrack folds in deeper percussion and temple echoes, building atmosphere on desktop and mobile.
Book of Ra Magic
Magic pushes the bonus further. Each retrigger adds another randomly chosen expanding symbol. Up to nine can be active at once, enabling full-screen outcomes the original could not reach. Volatility climbs, suiting players who enjoy high-risk boards.
Other notable editions
Book of Ra 6 lets us pay an extra bet to unlock a sixth reel. That opens six-of-a-kind payouts up to 7,500× your line stake while keeping the familiar paytable intact.
Book of Ra Jackpot Edition overlays four progressive pots on the Deluxe model. Any spin can launch a pick game where matching three colored scarabs pays Mini, Minor, Major, or Grand.
Book of Ra – Temple of Gold introduces the adventurer Ivy, a brighter palette, and a choice of one, two, or three expanding symbols before Free Spins, letting us dial volatility to taste.
From classic simplicity to progressive thrills, we host every certified Book of Ra variant so you can play the chapter that fits your bankroll and pace

For everyday top‑ups, Sofort by Klarna and Giropay connect to your online banking and confirm payments via TAN or online PIN, so your credentials stay private. Both rely on 256‑bit TLS encryption and comply with the German Banking Act (KWG), offering the same safety you expect from a regular online shop.
Transaction security
All payments run through 256‑bit SSL encryption. We tokenise card data and store it only with PCI DSS Level 1 certified processors, never on our servers. Your first withdrawal triggers mandatory KYC, and you can enable 2FA in the cashier to block unauthorised access. Our payment partners are licensed by the Malta Financial Services Authority or equivalent EU regulators, and they follow AML rules and PSD2 strong customer authentication.
E‑wallet withdrawals usually arrive within a few hours after verification. Card and SEPA cash‑outs can take up to seven days due to bank schedules. We charge no processing fees, so you keep every cent of your Book of Ra winnings.

On our official site, Book of Ra runs on a fully responsive HTML5 engine, so we can explore hidden tombs on any modern handset without losing quality. Load the 5‑reel adventure on an iPhone 13, a Samsung Galaxy S23, or a Microsoft Surface tablet and the atmospheric soundtrack, 3D‑style symbols, and 5–10 selectable paylines appear just as they do on desktop. The mobile build keeps the original Deluxe RTP of 95.03% and the Classic RTP of 92.13%, so your odds do not change when you switch devices.
