Book Of Ra Deluxe 10

Book Of Ra Deluxe 10 slot REVIEW

Book Of Ra Deluxe 10 ReviewBook of Ra Deluxe 10 is the sequel to the wildly popular Book of Ra Deluxe, and the big question is; can this release be justified in any way, or is it just a cheap shot at riding the popularity wave of the first Deluxe game (which itself is already based on the original Book of Ra). You will get the answer at the end of this review, but let’s first cover the basics.

What’s new on Deluxe 10 is that you now have 2 reel sets. You have a regular reel set of 5 reels, 4 rows and 100 paylines, and to the right you will see a second reel set with 5 reels, 12 rows and 100 paylines. You spin both reel sets at the same time, and fully stacked wild reels on the first reel set will clone themselves over to the second reel set, and fill all 12 rows on the corresponding reel.

As usual with games in the book-series, it’s the free spins feature with its chosen expanding symbol that is the highlight of the game. The twist on Deluxe 10, is that the expanding symbol will clone itself over to the second reel set, much like the stacked wild reels we’ve already mentioned. Anyway, this is also a medium variance game, and the max win is 1143 x your stake.

What symbols are there?

The symbols does not differ much from other Book of Ra slots, and as usual, it’s the Explorer/Adventurer that is the most valuable symbol here. You also find some egyptian themed medium level symbols, as well as the regular low level royal symbols A, K, Q, J and 10. You will need to land between 3 and 5 matching symbols to win, and here we present you with the paytable for Book of Ra Deluxe 10 slot:

The Adventurer - Pays 5x for 5 on a payline

Pharaoh - Pays 4x for 5 on a payline

Isis statue - Pays 2x for 5 on a payline

Jade scarab - Pays 2x for 5 on a payline

Card suit symbols - Pays 1x for 5 on a payline

What are the bonus features?

The wild symbol tend to land in stacks of 2, 3 or 4 on this game, and the symbol itself is a golden coin with the image of Bastet (the egyptian goddess of domesticity, fertility and home). The golden coin wild will step in for all symbols bar the scatter and the chosen expanding symbol in the free spins bonus feature (which we will discuss more below).

As you will soon notice, there is a massive extra reel set in addition to the regular reel set, and this extra reel set comes with 5 reels and 12 rows. You will see this reel set to the right of the regular reels, and if you land a stack of 4 golden coin wilds on the regular reel set (which effectively fills the whole reel), these wilds symbols will copy themselves over to the second reel set and fill an entire 12 rows reel there too. This, of course, can lead to some very nice payouts from both reel sets.

Free spins in Book of Ra Deluxe 10

You need to land at least 3 Book of Ra scatter symbols on the same spin to trigger the free spins feature here. What’s more, these scatter symbols will only land on reels 1, 3 and 5, and this is true for both the regular reel set and the 5x12 reel set to the right. It does not matter which reel set you land the scatters on, you will get the following free spins and payouts either way:

3 scatters = 8 free spins & 2 x stake payout

4 scatters = 12 free spins & 5 x stake payout

5 scatters = 20 free spins & 20 x stake payout

Just like with all other book-series games, a symbol will be chosen randomly to become the special symbol during the free spin rounds. Whenever you land this special symbol during a free spin, it will expand to cover the whole reel on the first 5x4 reel setl. It will then copy itself over to the corresponding reel on the second 5x12 reel set, and act as a special stacked symbol. The special symbol will only expand if this means that a winning combination will be created.

What is the jackpot (max win)?

You cannot win any kind of jackpot on Book of Ra Deluxe 10 slot, and, quite frankly, the potential is a lot weaker here than on the regular Book of Ra Deluxe. This is a medium variance game, and it comes with a max win of 1143 times your stake if you fill the screen with the highest paying symbol (The Adventurer). Play with the highest possible bet level of £200, and you can pocket up to £228740 on a single spin here.

SlotCatalog verdict

We honestly don’t see the need for this release at all. Why any player would prefer this game over the first Book of Ra Deluxe is a riddle to us. The potential is 10 times as weak here, while the volatility remain the same (medium) and the RTP actually is a tad lower. The only difference is a brand new soundtrack, 10 times as many paylines and the massive (but rather useless) 5x12 second reel set.

Pros

Stacked wilds on reel set 1 will copy themselves over to reel set 2

Free spins with expanding symbol that will copy itself over to reel set 2

Medium volatility

Cons

1143x potential is 10x weaker than first Deluxe version

RTP of 95.02 % is well below average and also lower than the first Deluxe version
