Play Book of Ra™ Magic online

Book of Ra™ Magic by Novomatic (Greentube) is a 5×3 video slot with 10 paylines set in Ancient Egypt, where each retrigger adds a new expanding symbol up to a maximum of 9. This game suits fans of “book-slots” who accept high volatility in pursuit of rare but hefty wins.

Theme and visuals/audio

A dark tomb and Egyptian mythological artifacts create a classic “book” adventure atmosphere; the palette leans into rich gold and ochre, animations are restrained; sound effects accent line wins and bonus triggers; the interface follows the familiar Book series layout and is adapted for desktop and mobile devices.

Math and parameters

The game has multiple RTP profiles: from 96.03% in a “good” version down to 92.05% in a “low” profile; this house-edge gap noticeably impacts session length, so licensed venues with higher RTP are preferable. Volatility is high with significant variance; the bonus contributes a major share of EV thanks to multiple expanding symbols unlocked via retriggers.

Base game mechanics

A 5×3 grid with 10 lines pays left to right; the “Book” acts as both Wild and Scatter, substituting symbols while also triggering risk-free spins; there are no tumbles/ways-this is a classic line-based “book-slot” model.

Paytable and symbols

Top symbol: Archaeologist/Explorer - up to ×500 for 5 on a line (stake-multiplier model).

Premiums: sarcophagus, Horus, scarab - up to ×200 and ×75 for 5-of-a-kind in typical setups.

Lows: card ranks 10–A - ×10–×15 for 5-of-a-kind.

Check the in-game help at your casino for exact multipliers, as profiles can differ.

Bonus modes

Trigger: 3+ Books award 10 risk-free spins.

Structure: before the bonus starts, 1 expanding special symbol is chosen; each retrigger adds another (up to 9 active expanding symbols at once).

Payouts: expanding symbols pay “anywhere along lines” by covering full reels; no default multipliers, and peak potential is reached through multiple retriggers.

Additional features

Gamble/double: classic “red/black” after a winning spin; retry limits depend on the version.

Bonus buy: not available.

Jackpots: no progressives.

Autoplay: available; availability and parameters depend on jurisdiction.

Variants and versions of the game

Book of Ra Classic

Classic 5×3 with 9 lines, emphasis on simplicity and nostalgia: Book as Wild/Scatter, 10 risk-free spins with expanding symbol, high volatility; suitable for conservative bets and old-school gameplay.

Book of Ra Deluxe 6

An updated version with 10 lines and improved visuals/sound while retaining the basic formula: the same risk-free spins with expansion, more flexible bets, and slightly more comfortable dynamics thanks to an additional line.

Book of Ra Deluxe 10

An expanded line with an enlarged playing field and alternative ways to form winning combinations; retains the “book” bonus, but makes the draws more varied and intense for fans of large-scale setups.

Book of Ra Cash Connection

Cash Connection network jackpot option: familiar “book” gameplay (risk-free spins with expansion) is complemented by the possibility of random progressive prizes - a choice for those who value the chance of a big jackpot on top of the basic mechanics.

Book of Ra Mystic Fortunes

A variation with progressive jackpots and a familiar set of basic rules: the Book remains Wild/Scatter, risk-free spins with expansion are combined with a jackpot feature, making this version more risk-oriented for big prize hunters.

Bets and limits

At Casino777, stake ranges are 0.02 € to 50 €; for bankroll management, aim for 0.2–1.0% of BR per spin for long sessions and up to 2% for aggressive play; examples: with a €100 BR, stake €0.20–€1.00, or higher if you accept elevated variance.

Mobile compatibility and performance

HTML5 client with responsive layout and fast startup in modern browsers; the interface is optimized for portrait orientation, with moderate power usage thanks to restrained animations.

Fairness, licensing and provider

Novomatic/Greentube is a licensed provider with certified RNG; RTP varies by jurisdiction and operator profile-play in licensed online casinos and verifies the RTP variant in the help page of the site you use.

Comparison with alternatives

Book of Ra Deluxe: simpler bonus (one symbol), lower peak potential, generally easier to trigger.

Legacy of Dead/Book of Dead (related subgenre): similar “book” mechanic with different RTP/volatility and visuals; Magic excels by adding multiple expanding symbols through retriggers.

Book of Ra Deluxe 6: adds a sixth reel and a different distribution curve.

Who should play Book of Ra™ Magic

Ideal for players who enjoy online casino slot machines with high volatility and the “book” mechanic: a simple base game paired with an explosive bonus when retriggers land. Choose Magic for maximum peaks; pick Deluxe/Deluxe 6 for comfort and steadier pacing.
