If you should only ever play one slot machine in your life, play Book of Ra Deluxe by Novomatic. It is synonymous with playing.

A cult, a classic, a legend... Whatever epic adjective we use, it will fit Novomatic's Book of Ra Deluxe slot machine like a glove. It is a truly legendary slot machine that played an important role in the early days of many a gambling passion. The years have come and gone, and the visuals have aged a bit, but don't be fooled. This game has aged well and we are sure that it will keep on shuffling the cards in the online casino at Betsafe.

The Game’s visuals

As we've written above, Book of Ra Deluxe's best days are behind it. But that doesn't mean it's ugly. Far from it! Only compared to those modern novelties, it has become more or less a kind of retro classic. Such a pleasant return to the good old days when you didn't expect anything unusual from slots. When we started the Book of Ra Deluxe slot, we were once again struck by a whiff of nostalgia from the days when this game was the bread and butter of our gaming appetite. It's like watching Indiana Jones for the hundredth time. No matter how much he's aged, he's a good old, always awesome-looking Indy. And Book of Ra Deluxe is doing the same.

Basic game properties

The Book of Ra Deluxe won’t dazzle with numbers. A five-reel with three rows that only has 10 winning lines. These are optional, so you can play as many as you like. We like choice, so we would ask the authors to implement line count variability in games more often.

There's only one thing you need to do to be rewarded with a nice win in the Book of Ra Deluxe online slot. Make a winning combination of at least two of the same symbol on any of the 10 winning lines, winning combinations must of course start on the leftmost reel. There is no play for a two-way payoff here. And yes, 2 symbols are enough, it's not a typo. For the rarer or higher symbols, you don't need three. That is also very nice.

If you've been playing online slots for a while, nothing will surprise you when you play Book of Ra Deluxe. There will be no problems with handling, although it may not seem ideal at first. But believe us, it's just an illusion. As with all Novomatic slots, it's quite simple. You can set a few basic things. Perhaps the most important one is the amount of the bet. You do this using the plus and minus buttons. Once you have chosen the amount, you need to decide how you want to play. Whether manually or you let the game spin the reels automatically. This is done via Autoplay, which when clicked will make the slot machine spin the reels itself. Press again, and it stops spinning. Forget any more detailed settings. In addition to these two options, there is also the aforementioned option to adjust the number of winning lines and the Max Bet option, which instantly bets the maximum possible bet.

Bonus features of the slot machine

In bonuses, the Book of Ra gets sophisticated. It immediately combined several of them into single one and we remember what a revolutionary novelty it once was. Nowadays it might be just for fun because the originality of the bonuses has gone up over the years, but once upon a time, this was the ceiling.

Well, what is it then? Well, the Book of Ra symbol acts as both a Wild symbol and a Scatter symbol at the same time. Firstly, it replaces missing symbols on the winning lines, i.e. it is a wild, but at the same time, if you spin it at least three times on the reels, it sends you into free spins.

Before the freespins begin, the book selects one symbol to act as an expanding symbol during the free spins. This means that whenever it can, it will stretch to the entire reel, giving you a higher probability of getting a win. And that's pretty much all Book of Ra Deluxe has to offer.

And lest we forget, there's also a Gamble function. It probably won't surprise you that during the game you have to guess the suit of the face-up card. If you hit, you get double your original win. However, if you miss, your entire winnings will be forfeited.

Review of Book of Ra Deluxe

So what's the magic of Book of Ra Deluxe? Well of course it’s simplicity. This game is absolutely accessible to anyone, but it's also very enjoyable, offers an interesting bonus feature, and for many of us veterans of many a reel fight, a lot of pleasant nostalgia. Although this is an older game, you can of course play it on your mobile.
