Book of Dead
What Is Book of Dead?
Book of Dead is a 5-reel, 10-payline video slot developed by Play’n GO in 2016. It stars Rich Wilde — the studio’s iconic archaeologist adventurer — as he explores an Egyptian tomb in search of the legendary Book of the Dead.
The game became Australia’s most-played online pokie within months of its release. Its appeal is simple: high volatility, a powerful free spins mechanic with expanding symbols, and a max win of 5,000x your stake — making every spin feel like it could change your life.
At Stellar Spins Casino, you can play Book of Dead with real money starting from just $0.01 per spin, or go big with bets up to $100 per round. The slot is fully optimised for mobile and desktop play in Australia.
Free Spins & Expanding Symbols
This is where Book of Dead separates itself from every other Egyptian-themed pokie — and why Aussie players return to it again and again.
Land 3+ Book of Dead Scatters
Three or more Book of Dead symbols anywhere on the reels awards 10 free spins. Each additional scatter during the base game adds more free spins. The Book is also a Wild, substituting for all other symbols on winning paylines.
A Special Symbol is Chosen
Before the free spins begin, one symbol is randomly selected to become the Special Expanding Symbol. This can be any symbol — including the highest-paying Rich Wilde character, which pays 2000x your stake for a full 5-of-a-kind expanded line.
Expanding Symbols Cover the Reel
Whenever the Special Symbol appears on any reel during free spins, it expands to fill that entire reel. Multiple full reels of the same symbol on a payline can deliver massive wins — up to 5000x your total bet. Free spins can also retrigger if 3 scatters land during the bonus.
Bet $2 per spin → Rich Wilde selected as Special Symbol → 5 full reels of Rich Wilde → win $10,000. At $10/spin that becomes $50,000. The 5000x cap applies to your total stake.

RTP, Volatility & What They
Mean for Australian Players
For every $100 wagered across millions of spins, Book of Dead theoretically returns $96.21. This is above the Australian online casino average of ~95%. RTP is a long-term statistical measure — individual sessions can vary wildly, especially with high volatility.
High volatility means wins are less frequent but much larger when they do arrive. Book of Dead suits players who can handle long dry spells in exchange for the possibility of a 1,000x+ bonus round hit. For budget players, lower bet sizes and a larger session bankroll are recommended.
5,000x your stake is achievable when the highest symbol (Rich Wilde) is selected as the Special Expanding Symbol during free spins and fills reels 1–5 on a payline. At a $10 bet, that’s a $50,000 payout — entirely possible in a real money session at Stellar Spins Casino AU.
