Book of Ra Versions: Every Edition Compared
There are more than ten Book of Ra games. Four matter most online: the 2005 Classic, the 2008 deluxe, deluxe 6 with an optional sixth reel, and Magic with several expanding symbols. The others add ways-to-win, jackpots or a hold-and-win feature. Each has its own RTP and maths.

The four main editions
Classic is the original; deluxe is the one most casinos mean by “Book of Ra”; deluxe 6 adds a paid sixth reel; Magic adds more expanding symbols. All four keep ten free games triggered by three books.
* Listed RTP from SlotCatalog; casinos can run lower settings.
How to choose a version
Pick deluxe if you want the reference game. Pick Classic for nostalgia. Pick deluxe 6 if you want the most extreme results and accept a higher stake. Pick Magic if you prefer free games that pay more often. Pick deluxe 10 if you want calmer play.
| If you want… | Play | Why |
|---|---|---|
| The game everyone means | deluxe | Most widely offered, official demo, 10 lines |
| The original from 2005 | Classic | Nine lines, old graphics, lower listed RTP |
| Maximum tension | deluxe 6 | Sixth reel with Extra Bet, bigger potential lines |
| More frequent feature wins | Magic | Several expanding symbols in free games |
| Calmer sessions | deluxe 10 | Low–medium volatility, max win around 1,143× |
| Ways instead of lines | deluxe: Win Ways / deluxe 10: Win Ways | Thousands of ways to win, reactions |
| Jackpots | Mystic Fortunes, Jackpot Edition, Cash Connection | Jackpot features; not allowed in every country |
The other editions
Beyond the main four, Greentube publishes variants built on the same theme but with different mechanics. They are separate games, and figures from one do not apply to another.
Book of Ra deluxe: Win Ways and deluxe 10: Win Ways
The Win Ways editions (2022–2023) replace fixed lines with ways to win: six reels and up to 117,649 ways for deluxe: Win Ways, ten reels and 251,957 ways for deluxe 10: Win Ways. iGaming Business lists RTPs of 94.55 % and 95.15 %.
Book of Ra deluxe 10
Released in 2019 with two reel sets — a 5×4 main set and a larger set above it — and 100 lines. SlotCatalog lists it as low-to-medium volatility with a maximum of about 1,143×, which makes it the calmest member of the family.
Mystic Fortunes, Jackpot Edition and Cash Connection
These add jackpots. Mystic Fortunes (2018) combines a ten-line base game with a progressive jackpot; the Jackpot Edition adds jackpot levels to deluxe; Cash Connection – Book of Ra uses a hold-and-win “Lock ’N’ Win” feature. In Germany, jackpots funded by players’ stakes are not permitted in licensed online slots.
Book of Ra deluxe Bonus Spins and Bingo
Bonus Spins (2022) adds a multiplier in free spins; SlotCatalog lists a 90 % RTP. Book of Ra deluxe Bingo is a bingo game with the Book of Ra theme, not a slot.
Land-based editions
Novomatic also lists machine games such as Book of Ra – Temple of Gold, Book of Ra Two Symbols and Book of Ra Plus. We found no online version of them from Greentube; they appear in gaming halls.
Does “Book of Ra 2” exist?
No. There is no Novomatic game called Book of Ra 2. Downloads, apps or casinos advertising it are offering something else — sometimes a copy from another provider, sometimes malware. The official follow-ups have names like deluxe, deluxe 6 or Magic.
The same goes for “Book of Ra 3”, “Book of Ra 2024 edition” and similar labels on download sites. If the provider in the game’s info screen is not Novomatic or Greentube, it is not Book of Ra.
Where to play Book of Ra
Partner offers depend on the country you play from. Pick yours to see licensed options, local rules and help lines.
Problems and what to do
It is probably the Classic or another edition. The game name in the info screen tells you which one.
Operators pick which editions to offer. Some countries and casinos carry only deluxe.
That is expected — every edition has its own maths and settings.
Questions
Which Book of Ra version is the best?
For most players, deluxe: ten lines, a 95.10 % listed RTP and an official free demo. The best choice still depends on what you want — see the comparison on this page.
Is there a Book of Ra 2?
No. Novomatic has never released a game called Book of Ra 2. The follow-ups are named deluxe, deluxe 6, deluxe 10, Magic and so on.
Is Book of Ra 6 the same as deluxe 6?
Players say “Book of Ra 6” for Book of Ra deluxe 6, the edition with an optional sixth reel bought through Extra Bet.
Are there new Book of Ra games coming?
We found no announced new title on 23 October 2026. The latest change was the Buy Bonus added to deluxe in February 2026. We update this page when Greentube announces a release.
Do all versions have the same paytable?
No. They share the theme and the book feature, but each version has its own paytable, RTP and maximum win.
