Explore Book of Ra Deluxe and More
Book of Ra Deluxe
Book of Ra Deluxe is the headline version in this series from Novomatic. We like how it keeps the 5×3 grid and classic adventure feel but sharpens everything around it. Graphics and sound are cleaner, and the gameplay adds an extra payline—10 instead of 9—for a livelier ride. Volatility is higher, so spins feel tenser and wins can land in bigger swings. The theoretical RTP is 95.03 %, which sits in familiar Novomatic territory. If we want the original vibe with a more modern look and punchier pacing, Deluxe hits the mark.
Other Book of Ra Variations
We also look at versions that push the formula in different ways. Book of Ra Magic stays with the 5×3 layout and 10 paylines but powers up the free spins feature with up to nine expanding bonus symbols. The RTP remains 95.03 %, and volatility stays high, so bonus rounds can take off fast. Book of Ra 6 Deluxe lets us switch on a sixth reel for twice the stake, raising the ceiling on what a single spin can do. That change boosts the maximum win to 7,500× our bet while keeping the theme intact. Its RTP is 95.02 % with high volatility.
| Variation | Reels × Rows | Paylines | RTP | Volatility | Signature Feature |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Book of Ra Deluxe | 5 × 3 | 10 | 95.03 % | High | Classic free spins with expanding symbol |
| Book of Ra Magic | 5 × 3 | 10 | 95.03 % | High | Up to nine expanding symbols in bonus |
| Book of Ra 6 Deluxe | 6 × 3 (optional) | 10 | 95.02 % | High | Sixth reel for doubled stake & higher max win |
Why try different versions
- The original suits purists who want straightforward play and lower stakes
- Deluxe adds sharper visuals, one extra payline, and bigger swings
- Magic stacks more bonus variety for feature-heavy sessions
- 6 Deluxe brings a sixth reel for higher risk and massive payout potential
On the official Book of Ra site, we play with licensed Novomatic software, TÜV-certified RNGs, and SSL‑encrypted deposits for German players, so sessions stay fair and secure
Uncover Classic Book of Ra Gameplay
Symbols and values
We step into ancient Egypt with a clean set of icons that drive the action and payouts:
- Adventurer (Explorer) – top regular symbol, paying up to 5,000× the line bet for five of a kind
- Tutankhamun’s Sarcophagus – up to 2,000×
- Scarab and Winged Isis – up to 750×
- A–10 royals – lower but frequent hits
- Book of Ra – both wild and scatter; it substitutes for all symbols and pays 2×, 20×, 200× the total bet for 3, 4, 5 Books anywhere
Paylines and setup
We play on a 5×3 grid with up to 9 adjustable paylines. Control rests with us before each spin:
- Select 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 lines
- Choose a coin value, usually €0.02–€5 per line in online versions
- Press Spin or use Autoplay for up to 100 spins
Regular wins pay left to right starting from the far-left reel. Book scatters pay regardless of position. When we activate all nine lines, we improve hit frequency without changing the underlying symbol odds.
Special features
- Free Games – Landing 3 or more Books triggers 10 free spins. A random symbol becomes a special expanding symbol. When enough of that symbol appears, it expands to cover reels and pays on all active lines even if the symbols aren’t adjacent
- Gamble/Risk – After any win under €1,400 (operator-dependent), we can try to double by guessing the color of a hidden card. A wrong guess loses the stake
We get an RTP of 95.10% and high volatility, so wins can be infrequent but often sizeable. The simple rules, the expanding symbol in free games, and the nostalgic 1990s arcade sound help explain why Book of Ra still dominates German slot lobbies more than two decades after its Novomatic release

Top Tips to Master Book of Ra
Know the Core Mechanics
We always start with the paytable. In every Book of Ra version, the Book symbol acts as both Wild and Scatter. Hitting 3, 4, or 5 Books anywhere triggers 10 free spins, and the game picks a random expanding symbol for that round. Classic Book of Ra has 9 fixed paylines with an RTP of about 95.03 %, while Book of Ra Deluxe increases the lines to 10 and the RTP to roughly 95.10 %. These figures frame the game’s volatility and likely hit rate.
- Top-paying symbol: the Adventurer, up to 5,000 × line bet
- Medium symbols: Sarcophagus, Pharaoh, Scarab
- Low symbols: A, K, Q, J, 10
Set Smart Stakes
On a high-variance slot like this, we keep bets steady. A common approach is 1–2 % of the session budget per spin. With €100, a €1–€2 total bet usually gives 50–100 spins, enough to ride out dry spells and still be in when free spins land.
Ignore “Timing” Myths
Every spin is driven by a certified RNG, so patterns or extra Books on the reels don’t predict a bonus. We focus on session length and discipline, not hunches or streaks.
Use Gamble With Care
After a win, the optional Card Gamble offers a 50 % shot to double or lose with no change to the house edge. We reserve it for smaller payouts, typically under 5 × bet, to protect the session.
Train in Demo First
Our demo mirrors real-money RTP and volatility, so you can observe an average free-spin hit around 1 in 150–180 spins and test different stakes without risk. We switch to cash only after we’re comfortable with the swings.
Play With Limits
We set loss, win, and time limits before we start. Casinos licensed in Germany provide reality checks every 60 minutes and mandatory cooling-off tools. When limits are reached, we stop and come back fresh
