Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead

How Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead plays

A 5x3, 10-line slot in which the Book is both wild and scatter. Three or more Books give 10 free spins; before they start one symbol is picked at random to expand over its whole reel whenever enough of it lands to pay, and it pays on the lines even when the reels are not adjacent. Three more Books during the bonus add another 10 spins. A gamble option is offered after wins.

Theme: Ancient Egypt, adventure. Filed under Ancient Egypt, Adventure and exploration.

Features in this game

  • Expanding wilds: A wild symbol that grows to cover its whole reel (or more) when it lands, substituting in every position it covers.
  • Free spins: A bonus round of spins played at no extra cost, usually triggered by scatter symbols and often with extra features.
  • Gamble feature: An optional side game after a win that lets you risk it to double or multiply it, usually by guessing a card colour or suit.

What the figures mean

An RTP of 96.21% is a long-run average across millions of spins. It works out at a house edge of 3.79%, so every £100 staked costs £3.79 on average. A session of 200 spins at £1 stakes £200, and the expected cost of that session is £7.58, although the real result will usually land a long way either side. Work out your own figures.
