Rich Wilde, Anubis and Osiris: symbol values at a glance
Released in 2016, this Egyptian-themed slot follows the explorer Rich Wilde into a tomb. The symbol set splits into two groups: lower-paying card ranks and higher-paying characters and relics. Rich Wilde himself, the pharaoh-style figures such as Anubis and Osiris, and the golden items sit in the premium group.
Exact payouts per symbol depend on your stake, so open the paytable inside the game before you play. It shows what each symbol pays for each match length, and it updates when you change the bet.
| Symbol group | Role | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Rich Wilde | Premium character | Payout per match in the paytable |
| Anubis, Osiris and relics | Premium symbols | Payouts for shorter combinations |
| Card ranks | Low-paying symbols | They land often but pay least |
| The book | Wild and scatter | Triggers the bonus and substitutes in lines |
Three books to unlock the tomb bonus
How the free spins start
The book is the key symbol. Land three of them anywhere on the reels and the free spins round begins. Because the book also acts as a wild in the base game, it helps complete lines while you wait for the trigger.
What happens during the round
Before the spins begin, one symbol is picked to become the special expanding symbol. That choice is what makes the round swing so much, and it is where the 5,000x maximum win becomes possible.
Landing the books again inside the round extends it. Check the in-game help screen for the exact number of extra spins, since this guide sticks to what the game list confirms.
The randomly chosen symbol that spreads across whole reels
The expanding symbol is the heart of the game. When the round starts, the slot selects one symbol at random. Whenever enough of that symbol land, it stretches to fill its entire reel and pays as if it covered every position.
The value of the round depends heavily on which symbol is picked. A low card rank expanding gives a modest result, while a premium character covering several reels can produce the big hits. You cannot influence the pick, so treat each bonus as a draw.
Two free spins rounds can look completely different. One might pay little, another might fill reels repeatedly. That gap is normal for a slot built around a single expanding symbol.
Adjusting the number of active lines from 1 to 10
The slot has 10 paylines, and you can choose to play anywhere from one to ten. Fewer lines lower the total cost per spin, but they also reduce the places where a winning combination can form.
Most players keep all ten active. A line that is switched off can still show a winning symbol line-up, and you simply won't be paid for it, which is a frustrating way to miss out.
- Check the total stake after changing lines, not just the line bet.
- Keep all lines on if you want every possible combination to count.
- Lower the stake rather than the lines if you need a smaller budget.
Risking wins on the double-or-quadruple card game
After a win, the gamble feature lets you risk it on a card prediction. A correct call doubles or quadruples the win, depending on which option you take. A wrong call loses the amount you gambled.
It is optional, and you can collect instead. Because every gamble is a risk with no edge in your favour, it works best as a rare, deliberate choice rather than a habit. Decide in advance whether you will use it at all.
Collecting a decent win feels dull, but it beats watching it vanish on one card.
Long dry spells and big swings in a high-variance game
What high volatility means
This is a high-volatility slot. Expect stretches where the balance slowly falls, broken by occasional large wins, mostly from the bonus round. The 96.21% RTP is a long-run average over a huge number of spins, not a promise for one session.
Sensible ways to play it
Pick a stake that lets you ride out a quiet run without chasing. Set a budget before you start, and stop when it is spent. If you want a gentler pace, a lower-volatility title from the slots lobby may suit you better.

FAQ
What RTP does Book of Dead pay at Tucan?
The game list gives Book of Dead an RTP of 96.21%. That figure is a theoretical long-run average across millions of spins, so any single session can land well above or below it. The in-game help screen shows the same information.
Can free spins be retriggered in Book of Dead?
Yes, landing the book symbols again during the free spins round extends it. The exact number of extra spins is shown in the game's help screen, so check it there. Retriggers are one reason bonus rounds vary so much in value.
Is it worth using the gamble feature after a win?
Usually not as a routine. The feature can double or quadruple a win, but a wrong guess loses it, and the odds don't favour you. If you use it, do so rarely, with a small win, and decide beforehand when you'll stop.
How big can a win get in Book of Dead?
The maximum win is 5,000x the stake. Reaching it is rare and mostly comes from the free spins round when the expanding symbol covers many reels. Treat it as a ceiling, not a target.
