How Book of Ra plays

The Book symbol is both wild and scatter. Three or more trigger ten free games with one randomly chosen expanding symbol that fills whole reels, and the round retriggers indefinitely.

Volatility and your bankroll

High — Novomatic rates it 5 of 5.

Volatility describes the shape of the payouts rather than how much a game returns overall. A high rating means long quiet stretches broken by larger wins, and it needs a bigger balance relative to your stake to survive them. A low rating pays smaller and more often, which makes a modest balance last. Neither is more generous — see how volatility affects a session.

What the RTP figure actually tells you

Typically around 92.13%, though Novomatic publishes no RTP itself and operators may deploy alternate builds.

Return to player is a long-run average measured over millions of spins. It says nothing about your session and nothing about the next spin. More importantly, many slots ship in several RTP configurations and the operator chooses which to run — so a figure quoted on a review site may not describe the build you are playing. Check the game's own info panel, which reflects what is actually deployed.
