Book of Dead is the slot that made Rich Wilde a household name. Play'n GO released it in 2016 and it is still one of the most played games in Canadian casinos. The rules are simple — ten lines, one book symbol, one expanding symbol — but the free spins round can fill the whole screen with a single premium icon.

What the 96.21% RTP means
RTP (return to player) is the share of all bets a slot pays back over millions of spins. With an RTP of 96.21%, Book of Dead returns on average C$96.21 for every C$100 wagered over the long run. In a single session your result can be much higher or lower — RTP describes the long term, not the next spin.
Volatility explained
Book of Dead is a high-volatility slot. Wins come less often, but bonus rounds can pay many times the stake. Plan for dry spells and choose a stake that gives you at least 100–150 spins.
Example: with a C$50 budget at the minimum bet of C$0.10 you get about 500 spins before counting any wins.
