Book of Ra Deluxe 6 Slot Review

Book of Ra Deluxe 6 Slot Review

I have played the Book of Ra series for years, and Book of Ra Deluxe 6 feels like the natural progression of the cult original. The slot keeps the same Ancient Egyptian tomb vibe, but adds an optional sixth reel through the Extra Bet. That extra column changes the dynamic of the game, opening up six‑of‑a‑kind wins and pushing the high volatility to a level that really suits the adventurous theme.

For me, Book of Ra Deluxe 6 is still very much a classic “book slot”. Almost everything revolves around triggering the free spins with a chosen Expanding Symbol, then hoping the explorer covers reel after reel. The maths model has been tuned compared with the very first release, and when the sixth reel is active the game can produce some massive hits, though the quieter patches between those moments can be long.

Book of Ra Deluxe 6 Slot Information

Book of Ra Deluxe 6 runs on 6 reels, 3 rows and 10 fixed paylines when the Extra Bet is on, while the standard mode uses 5 reels with the same line structure. Stakes start from around 20p and reach roughly £40 per spin, though the Extra Bet doubles the base wager, as you are paying for that extra column and the chance to land the premium six‑symbol combinations.

RTP figures for Book of Ra Deluxe 6 vary by casino setting. I have seen configurations quoted at about 95.03% as a common default, with some platforms offering anything from just over 90% up to roughly 96.06%. Volatility is high to very high, so long dry spells are normal. Official max win figures range widely, from around 7,500x up to 15,000x your bet, especially with the extra reel active during a strong bonus.

Book of Ra Deluxe 6 Symbols and Paytable

The symbol set in Book of Ra Deluxe 6 sticks closely to the earlier games. Low‑value icons are the familiar 10, J, Q, K and A royals, paying roughly 10x to 15x the bet for five of a kind and up to around 75x for six when the sixth reel is in play. Premiums feature the scarab, falcon, sarcophagus and the adventurer himself, and these are the ones that can really make a bonus round explode.

On the paytable, the explorer is by far the best regular symbol. Lining up six explorers with the extra reel enabled can pay around 1,500x the stake, with five paying about 500x. The next level down includes symbols such as the golden mask and carved statues, which tend to award between 200x and 500x for six of a kind. Even four premiums at once can give solid returns, especially when they keep landing in free spins.

The book symbol in Book of Ra Deluxe 6 pulls double duty as Scatter and Wild. As a Scatter, three, four, five or six books anywhere can pay around 2x, 20x, 200x or 400x the bet. At the same time, the book can substitute for any regular icon, so it never clogs the reels the way a non‑wild Scatter might. Landing three or more books together also happens to be your ticket into the free spins feature.

Bonus Features in Book of Ra Deluxe 6

The features in Book of Ra Deluxe 6 are simple yet effective. Three or more book symbols trigger 10 free spins, with one regular symbol chosen at random to act as an Expanding Symbol. When enough of that icon land, they stretch to cover their reels and pay on all lines, even if they are not adjacent. Free spins can be retriggered, and with the Extra Bet active those expanding screens on six reels can get intense.

Design and Theme of Book of Ra Deluxe 6

Visually, Book of Ra Deluxe 6 sticks to the tried‑and‑tested look of the series. The reels sit against a stone wall covered in glowing hieroglyphs, framed by pillars that give a sense of being deep inside a sealed tomb. Symbols have that familiar mix of card ranks and Ancient Egyptian artefacts, with bold colours that still stand up despite the game’s age. I find it hits the nostalgia spot every time the reels start spinning.

The sound design is classic Novomatic: simple, punchy hits when wins land and a tense build‑up when the books start teasing on the reels. There is nothing overly flashy about the animations, but the expanding wins in the bonus round still feel satisfying as they roll across the grid. I have played Book of Ra Deluxe 6 on desktop and mobile, and the layout translates well to phones without losing clarity or responsiveness.

Book of Ra Deluxe 6 Slot Verdict

As a long‑time slot player, I see Book of Ra Deluxe 6 as a sharp upgrade for anyone who already enjoys the original book mechanic. The sixth reel and Extra Bet add genuine punch to the free spins, and the Expanding Symbol feature still delivers thrilling screens when it behaves. The trade‑off is that the high volatility and variable RTP can be punishing, so I treat it as a game for focused, higher‑risk sessions.
