Volatility
Book of Dead is rated high volatility with a maximum win of 5,000x the stake. The biggest results come from a high-paying expanding symbol filling several reels in free spins.
What it means: Long dry spells are normal, so a KSh budget should cover many spins before the bonus lands.
Volatility and max win: Play'n GO, Book of Dead game page; SlotCatalog (independent slot directory), Book of Dead.
Features
The Book of Dead symbol substitutes for all other symbols and also triggers the free spins.
Three or more book scatters award 10 free spins. Three or more books during the round add another 10 spins.
Before free spins begin, one regular symbol is picked at random. When it lands in a win it expands to cover all three positions on its reel.
After a win, players can gamble it by guessing card colour to double or card suit to quadruple.
