Book of Ra
This online slot machine game was created by Novomatic and was first introduced in the iGaming scene back in 2005. It has had some changes since then, but the appearance of the game hasn’t been altered very much over the last 16 years.
The game, whose main character reminds us a bit of Indiana Jones and the theme is the pyramids of Ancient Egypt, is quite simple to play and easy to understand. It is the perfect choice for people who have just begun to play slot machine games although it is well-loved by advanced players too.

Book of Ra explained
The Book of Ra is one of the most played slot machine games in the online casino’s world. It’s a 9 payline game in which you will need to strike a combination of 5 identical symbols. You can choose as many as 1 to 9 paylines to bet on, and how much you want each bet to be. The higher the bet, the higher the prize. Once you have placed your bet, you can hit the START button and the magic begins.
There aren’t bonus games that the player can unlock, but there are some features that provide the player with special benefits and advantages. One example is when the player hits 5 symbols of the explorer symbol on one line. But for accessing this jackpot you will need to play with a maximum bet on all the winning lines that are available.
It’s available on online casinos, and its gameplay is similar to other online slot games. What makes it special are the mini-games that it includes like the free spins or the gambling round you can access with these free spins.
Storyline of Book of Ra
In this game, you are transported to Ancient Egypt where you are supposed to find a great treasure among the pyramids and tombs.
The graphics are simple, they have remained pretty much the same for almost 16 years. However, even though they may be a bit dated, they have been working well for players and the creators during this entire time.
The symbols mix letters, numbers and images of items related to the Egyptian theme including pharaohs, the Book of Ra, scarabs, an explorer, the number 10 and the letters “A”, “Q”, “K” and “J”.
How to play
The Book of Ra is not a difficult game to play. It is interesting for beginners and advanced players alike. Here is a step to step playing guide:
- Choose a number of paylines and how much you’d like to bet on each line.
- Using the “-” and “+” signs you can choose the amounts. Bets can be placed in ranges from 0’02$ up to 5$ per line. You can also choose the number of lines you want to bet on, from 1 to 9.
- Click on the “Start” button. The symbols will start to spin and when the come to a halt you will be paid according to your winning symbols.
- If you strike certain combinations you might trigger free spins and a bonus feature.
Free spins
Something that players enjoy quite a lot is the free spins. If you are lucky enough and hit three book symbols during one of your spins, you will trigger ten free spins with special symbols during these special spins. They can be expansive symbols and provide additional earnings.
But even when the free spin game is over, players will also have the option to gamble their winnings with a special round. They’ll have to gamble and choose between red or black, the card will flip over and colour will be revealed.
If the player chose the right colour, they will double their earnings. But if on the contrary, they chose the losing colour, they will lose the whole bonus amount. They can repeat this gambling bonus up to 5 times with their earnings from the free spins.
Despite being simple, the players enjoy the free spins and the gambling options with which they can skyrocket their earnings.
Where can players enjoy this game
This game can be played in most of the major online casinos, and it can also be played on mobile phone devices too since 2014. It is available on Android, IOS and Windows.
Summary
Slot games are very popular among online casinos. The Book of Ra slot machine has been a game with consistent players that appreciate its clean yet dated graphics, its simple gameplay and free spins and bonus features.
