How to Play Book of Ra

Screen and buttons

Below the five reels are MENU, LINES, TOTAL BET, a message bar, MAX BET, AUTO and START. The numbers on the left and right mark where the ten lines begin.

Paytable

You win with matching symbols on a played line starting from reel one. Only the highest win per line is paid; book scatter wins are added on top. Values are multiples of the total bet with ten lines.

Paylines

Fewer lines lower the bet but also your chances — most of all in free games, where the expanding symbol pays only on played lines.

Free games with the expanding symbol

At the start one regular symbol is chosen. On every free spin, if enough of it lands for a win, it expands over its reels and pays on all lines, even on reels that are not next to each other.

Worked example in dollars

Bet $1, special symbol: the pharaoh mask. Masks land on reels 1, 3 and 4 and expand. Three masks pay 4× the bet per line: $4 on each of ten lines, $40 in total — plus any normal line wins on that spin.

The gamble

After a line win you guess red or black: right doubles, wrong loses. There is an upper limit, and the gamble is off during autoplay. It does not change the RTP.
