Where it’s playedBook of Dead review: the classic book slot, where one expanding symbol decides the whole session
Book of Dead is Play’n GO’s classic 5x3 slot with 10 paylines. Its big wins come from one expanding symbol in free spins. The scatter doubles as the Wild. Default RTP is 96.21%, Play’n GO rates the volatility 7 out of 10 and the max win is 5,000x.
How Book of Dead pays
The base game pays plain line wins from left to right. Five of the top symbol pay 5,000x the line bet, which is 500x your total bet on 10 lines. Three or more scatters pay on their own and trigger 10 free spins.

Before the spins start, one regular symbol is picked at random as the expanding symbol. Whenever it can add a win, it fills all three rows of its reel. It then pays on every line, even on reels that don’t touch. Three more scatters add 10 spins with the same symbol. A full screen of the top symbol is the 5,000x max win, which Play’n GO puts at 1 in 2,669,286 spins.
Book of Dead vs Legacy of Dead
Legacy of Dead keeps this frame but starts with 8 free spins, and every retrigger adds another expanding symbol. Its default RTP is 96.58% and its max win is the same 5,000x.
