Book of Ra Deluxe 6 (Novomatic) – Review & Demo Play

Book of Ra Deluxe 6 Slot Information

I play Book of Ra Deluxe 6 with either 5 or 6 reels, 3 rows, and 10 paylines. Stakes span 0.2 to 40, the default RTP sits at 96.06% with noted variants at 95.10%, 94.26%, 92.13%, and 90.05, and the volatility is high. The max win reaches 15,000x the bet, while base game hit frequency hovers around 29%. Core features are Scatter Wilds, Free Spins, and the Extra Bet, which opens the sixth reel and changes both maths and potential.

Book of Ra Deluxe 6 Slot Features

The Extra Bet is the hinge. In regular mode I spin on 5 reels. Activating the Extra Bet doubles the base stake and unlocks reel six, enabling 6-of-a-kind lines and a material step up in prize ladders. That extra column matters most in bonus play when expanding symbols can connect across more positions.

The Book acts as a Scatter Wild. As a wild it substitutes for all symbols to complete or improve lines. As a scatter it pays anywhere and opens the feature. Payouts for 3, 4, 5, or 6 Books are 2x, 20x, 200x, and 400x the bet. This dual role keeps the grid live and stops dead scatters from blocking wins.

Scatter Wilds in Book of Ra Deluxe 6

The titular Book symbol drives everything I chase. It substitutes in the base, triggers the bonus at three or more, and carries its own scatter pays up to 400x for six. With the sixth reel active, those scattered Books add reach while still stepping in as wilds to nudge line hits. That mix trims dry spins and keeps momentum until the feature lands.

Free Spins in Book of Ra Deluxe 6

Landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 Books awards 10 free spins. Before the round starts, one non-scatter symbol is selected to become the Expanding Symbol. When enough of that symbol appears to form a win, it expands to fill its reels and pays regardless of adjacency or left-to-right order. Retriggers add 10 extra spins, and the Expanding Symbol remains in play.

With the Extra Bet on, the sixth reel supercharges the feature. Expands can cover more columns, and 6-of-a-kind awards come into play. I root for the explorer as the chosen symbol; a hit across all reels with him is where the 15,000x ceiling comes from. The round is simple, fast, and all about lining up those full-reel covers.

Book of Ra Deluxe 6 Symbols and Paytable

Low-value symbols are 10, J, Q, K, and A. On 5-of-a-kind lines they pay between 10x and 15x the bet. With the Extra Bet active, 6-of-a-kind steps those to 50x to 75x. Wins form from the leftmost reel on adjacent columns in the base game; the expanding feature changes that behaviour during free spins.

Premiums are the scarab, the falcon, the sarcophagus, and the explorer. For 5-of-a-kind, awards range from 75x up to 500x. When reel six is open, 6-of-a-kind pays between 200x and 1,500x the bet. Those numbers are why I toggle the Extra Bet when I am chasing a feature streak.

The Book Scatter Wild pays anywhere: 2x, 20x, 200x, or 400x for 3, 4, 5, or 6. Premiums can hit from two-of-a-kind, which helps in the base. During free spins, the chosen Expanding Symbol pays on count alone after expansion, so screen coverage is what I track rather than paylines.

Book of Ra Deluxe 6 Slot Verdict

This is the classic Book setup with a switchable sixth reel. The art sticks to the well-known look, the tweak is mechanical, and it changes the risk and ceiling. Doubling the stake to open reel six feels pricey in slow spells, but the paytable stretch and expanding hits in the feature make the case. I spin regular for steadier base play, then flip Extra Bet on when I am pushing for the 15,000x route.
