Book of Ra

Developed by Novomatic, Book of Ra Pokie is a 9 payline and 5 non-progressive reels slot machine. The game is more popular among advanced gamblers and less known to novices in gambling. Book of Ra pokie is one of the greatest gaminator slots thanks to the great graphics, the bonus games, the sound and an excellent algorithm.

Game Description

The setting of the game is Ancient Egypt in a mysterious place with Pharaohs, goddess Cleopatra, and scarabs all located in a crude crypt. Indiana Jones comes across a myriad of adventures in the search for Book of Ra. Besides the symbols mentioned above (that is Cleopatra, Pharaohs, Scarabs and Indiana Jones), the game has the generic symbols including 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace. The ancient Egypt theme and the dual function icon makes the game appreciated but it is yet to be amateurish compared to other gaminator slots.

How To Play

Book of Ra pokie is a simple pokie from Novomatic and thus playing is simple. The player can only stake one coin per line and the coin denominations run from $0.02 to $5 maximum. The gamer can however adjust the paylines. The minimum stake of Book of Ra pokie is therefore $0.02 and the maximum only takes $45 from the gamer and no more at a go. To win, you need to combine two or more like symbols on adjacent reels. The higher the number of similar symbols on adjacent reels, the higher the payout.

Payouts – Maximum Win

Book or Ra pokie payouts are determined by how much a gamer stakes. The high playing cards may be colorful and lacking in design but they give the lowest payouts; these are 10, Ace, Queen, King and Jack. The Scarab and Indiana Jones are the highest paying icons. For three Scarabs, the player wins a minimum of $0.10 while for 5 Indiana Jones, the player wins $100. These are minimums and that means the more you wager the higher the winning values. The jackpot is offered to gamers who adjust their stake to maximum. This stake sets the gamer back a $100 spin and enables them to win a non-progressive jackpot of $25,000 offered by Book of Ra pokie.

The Golden Book of Ra symbol is the wild symbol in this gaminator slot. The symbol can replace any other symbol in the game to make winning combinations. The Book of Ra symbol doubles as the scatter symbol. This translates to, if three or more of the Book of Ra symbols appear scattered anywhere on the reels, the player gets access to bonus rounds.

Special Features

The dual function icon (mentioned above) is the special feature in the Book of Ra pokie. The Book of Ra symbol, in which the whole game revolves, doubles as the wild and the scatter symbol. When three scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels, 10 free spins are activated. The free spins can be re-activated if the same three scatter symbols re-appear. The Golden Lion and Golden Harp are bonus expanding symbols and are used on free spins too.

Overall Thoughts

The dual functionality of the Book of Ra symbol, the bonus rounds and most importantly the high average RTP (Return to Player) makes the game one of the best gaminator slot. Book of Ra pokie is a great game if you are on budget.
