Book of Dead Slot: Features and Rules in Ireland

How the Book changes a spin

The title’s central symbol has two jobs: it can substitute on a line and it can open the feature.

The game uses five reels and three rows. Before a spin, the player can choose from one to ten paylines; a line win depends on matching symbols along the selected path from the left. The Book is the special symbol that can act as a Wild, helping complete a line, or as a Scatter that starts the feature.

That dual role creates a clear reading order for the reels: first check whether the Book completed a payline, then whether three or more appeared to unlock Free Spins. The 10-line layout also means the selected stake and the number of active lines should be read together in the game panel.

With ten lines selected, inspect the leftmost reel and trace each active path across the grid. The title paytable lists the values and matching counts for each symbol.

What happens in the expanding-symbol round

The bonus selects one symbol type for the expanding-reel feature.

Three Books start ten Free Spins. A symbol is chosen at random for the feature; when it lands, it expands to cover its reel and can form several matching line combinations at once.

The feature is easy to follow because the expanding symbol stays visible across a full reel. The game’s help panel explains the current paytable and how the selected lines apply to this version.

A full-reel expansion can connect symbols on several active lines. Watch the selected symbol, then follow each line path from left to right as the game evaluates the feature spin.

A sample feature sequence

Trace the trigger and expanding-symbol rule through a sample feature round.

Imagine three Book symbols landing across the reels. The game starts ten Free Spins and selects one symbol type for expansion. On a later spin, that symbol lands and fills its reel; the player then checks whether the resulting symbols connect across an active line. If another Book lands, the help panel determines whether the feature adds spins.

The feature moves from a three-Book trigger to an expanding symbol on a later free spin.

After Books trigger the round, the displayed symbol determines which reel expansion to watch. The free-spin counter and active line map make the feature sequence easy to follow.

Reading the lines and session settings

Before a session, check how the selected line count changes the displayed total stake.

Book of Dead’s provider guide describes the 5×3 layout and ten selectable lines. Open the Irish game panel to see the active version’s RTP and stake range.

The expanding symbol changes the feature reels. Choose from the line settings shown on screen, then compare the displayed stake and paytable with another game.

Because the line count ranges from one to ten, compare the total displayed stake for the selected lines. The in-game paytable shows the symbol values for that configuration.
