Book of Ra Review

Book of Ra is a classic slot game and it is one of the best slots made in history. The reason for that is simple. It offers a lot of winning potential with all the cool features that it has and after you get a lucky free spins combination, you might get a lot of money.

More Games
Being so popular determined Novomatic to make a sequel to this classic game and we can say with certainty that is is quite good. But some people still prefer playing the classic Book of Ra instead of the newer one. And you can’t even blame anyone that thinks like this because the Book of Ra Deluxe has a lower RTP than the classic one.

Theme and Symbols
The main theme of this game is the Ancient Egypt and you can follow the adventurer in the search for ancient artifacts. The symbols show this story quite easily. You have a Pharaoh, Cleopatra, a Scarab and of course the adventurer that resembles Indiana Jones. You also have the Book of Ra and all the classic symbols from 10 to Ace.

How to Play
In order to make a winning combination, you have to have at least 2 symbols of the same kind near each other, on the same payline. The Golden Book of Ra is the wild symbol in this game and it can replace any other symbol in order to give you an extra win if it is possible.

There actually is a symbol that can give you a win even if it isn’t on the same payline. The symbol is called the Scatter symbol and it is represented by the Golden Book of Ra. So this symbol can act both as a Scatter and as a Wild. If you manage to get 3 of these on the screen, anywhere, then you will trigger the bonus rounds and get the best rewards if you win.

Free Spins
So this is the best part of the game and it makes Book of Ra the game that is is today. To get 3 Scatter symbols on the reels is very exciting and you get a bit of adrenaline in our veins the moment you see them all on the screen. You get 10 free spins and you also get a Special Bonus Expanding Symbol that is randomly chosen at the beginning of the rounds. If you manage to get another 3 Scatter symbols while you are in the free rounds, you will reactivate the free rounds and you will receive another 10 free spins.

Gamble Feature
Another very important feature for the game is the Gamble feature. It allows you to take some risks in order to double your earnings. The risk part is that if you lose the gambling, then you lose what you have won. You have to choose between 2 colors and if the next drawn card is the color you chose, then you double your win. Pretty easy, but it’s very easy to lose everything. So you should be careful when you are using this feature. I don’t recommend gambling on big sums or to do it more than 2-3 times.

Conclusion
Book of Ra is one of the best video slot games ever made and the reason for that is obvious. It has brought a lot of good features to the slot industry and it has a good RTP ratio. Which means that the player usually gets more money back than most of the other slot machines.
