Book of Dead: Frequently Asked Questions
Everything Canadian players ask about the RTP settings, the free spins bonus, and the game's 5000x cap.
Book of Dead Questions Answered
Which symbol triggers the free spins and how many do I need?
The Book symbol acts as the scatter. Landing three or more anywhere on the reels triggers 10 free spins, and further Book symbols during the round can retrigger additional spins.
What does the Book symbol do outside the bonus round?
In the base game it doubles as a wild, substituting for every regular symbol to help complete line wins across the 10 paylines. Its scatter role only kicks in when you land enough copies to trigger free spins.
What happens to the special symbol once free spins start?
One symbol is picked at random at the start of the round and turned into an expanding symbol. Whenever it lands, it covers the whole reel and pays based on how many times it appears, not just on a straight line.
Can the free spins round retrigger, and is there a limit?
Yes, three or more Book symbols landing during the bonus add extra spins. The available research doesn't specify a hard cap on retriggers, so each qualifying landing simply extends the round further.
Why do I see different RTP percentages for the same game?
Play'n GO has certified several RTP builds for this title: 96.21% by default, plus 94.25%, 91.25%, 87.25% and 84.18%. Operators choose which configuration they run, so the figure can vary between casinos.
How do I check which RTP version I'm actually playing?
Open the in-game paytable or info screen before you spin. That's the only reliable way to confirm which certified configuration a specific casino has installed, since operator marketing doesn't always state it clearly.
What is the maximum win, and can I reach it on any bet size?
The cap sits at 5000x your stake, equal to 250,000 coins (500,000 at the top 100 stake level). The multiplier itself is fixed, so the cash amount simply scales with whatever bet you place.
Does the demo version use the same math as real money play?
The demo runs on the standard game code, but because operators can license different RTP builds, a demo hosted on one site isn't guaranteed to mirror the exact configuration live on another casino's real-money version.
Is there a bonus buy option to skip straight to free spins?
No. The standard build of Book of Dead doesn't include a bonus buy feature, so the free spins can only be reached by landing Book scatters naturally during play.
How many paylines does the game actually use?
Up to 10, and the number is adjustable between 1 and 10 before each spin. Some casino listings describe them as fixed, but the paytable lets you lower the active count if you prefer smaller bets.
What's the smallest and largest bet I can place?
Play'n GO's own range runs from 0.10 up to 100.00 per spin with all lines active, though individual operators sometimes cap the top end lower, so it's worth checking the bet slider at your chosen casino.
Can I play Book of Dead on a phone or tablet?
Yes, it's built on HTML5 and runs directly in desktop, mobile and tablet browsers without needing a separate app download.
Is Book of Dead legal for Canadian players?
It's distributed through operators licensed by Canadian regulators such as AGCO/iGaming Ontario, Loto-Québec, BCLC and AGLC. Availability depends on which casino you use and its content agreement with Play'n GO.
How does Book of Dead differ from Legacy of Dead?
Legacy of Dead is Play'n GO's own reskin, keeping the same Book mechanic and structure but with a different theme and paytable values. If you like this game's format, that's the closest match in the studio's own catalogue.
Why do some sites report different hit frequencies for this game?
Third-party reviewers list figures ranging roughly from 26% to 31-32%, but none of them trace back to a published Play'n GO math sheet, so any specific hit-frequency claim for this title should be treated as unconfirmed.
Does the high volatility rating affect how the free spins pay out?
Yes. The game is rated High volatility overall, which means both the base game and the free spins round can run through long stretches without a win, punctuated by larger payouts once the expanding symbol lands repeatedly.
