Book of Ra Slot Game

Novomatic's Book of Ra is an Egyptian-themed slot with 5 reels and 10 fixed paylines. The game showcases five high-paying symbols, including an explorer who bears a striking resemblance to Indiana Jones. Accompanying him are the pharaoh's mask, the Book of Ra which also acts as a Scatter, a golden statue of the goddess Isis, and a purple scarab. The low-paying icons consist of the letters A, K, J, Q, and 10. Interestingly, the high-paying symbols excluding the Scatter only require a pair for a payout, unlike most slots that require three. 

The backdrop reveals a trio of pyramids and a rising sun, while the visuals may appear outdated compared to newer slots. However, given that this slot is around 20 years old, this is to be expected. Moreover, there is no background music accompanying the gameplay. Enjoy the lively tunes of an arcade-style soundtrack as the reels twirl in motion. Despite its age, this slot machine still offers captivating features. 

Prepare to encounter Wild Symbols, Scatters, and Free Spins, along with symbols that expand. The book symbol acts as both a Scatter and Wild, stepping in for other symbols that result in winning combinations. After a successful spin, you have the option to either collect your winnings or take a gamble. If you choose to gamble, you must select either red or black. Guess wrong, and you lose. Guess right, and your payout increases. 

By landing three Scatter Symbols, you'll unlock 10 Free Spins. During this bonus round, a special symbol is selected to expand. It has the potential to cover an entire reel with three rows, increasing your chances of winning. 

The massive success of Novomatic's Book of Ra spawned a plethora of copycat slot machines that used identical themes and gameplay. Fans of the book theme games recognize this slot easily.
