Book of RA Magic Slot
Book of Ra Magic is one of those slots that never goes away. It improves upon the original series while giving Free Spins a unique twist that makes things interesting.
You have a gloomy Egyptian tomb with five reels, three rows, and up to ten lines. The explorer, golden sarcophagus, Ra statue, scarab, and key book sign are all depicted on reels. Quiet noises create a tense atmosphere as the books begin to fall.
The magic happens during Free Spins. One expanding symbol gets picked randomly. Retrigger, and you get another. Keep retriggering, and you could fill the screen with up to nine expanding symbols landing at once. How cool is that! That's why Lavish Luck players can't stop spinning!
How to Play Book of Ra Magic
Getting started with Book of Ra Magic is simple. That’s how a session works:
Start the Game: You will be presented with a traditional 5x3 reel grid, surrounded by stone pillars and set against the dark background of an ancient Egyptian burial chamber, when you launch Book of Ra Magic on Lavish Luck.
Set Your Play Amount: To determine how much you're playing each spin, use the playlevel settings and the coin value selector. The range of coin values is 0.01 to 0.50. Because lines are active in this game, the number of active lines multiplied by your coin value equals your total coins every spin. Although all active lines provide you more winning paths, you can play fewer lines to lower your total coins every spin.
Spin the Reels: To start things moving, press the Spin button. When three or more matching symbols fall on an active line from left to right, beginning on reel 1, a win is created. Because the Explorer and the Sarcophagus are exceptions, they only reward from two consecutive symbols. For this reason, it seems significant to hit even a small cluster of either early in a session.
Watch for the Book: The Book of Ra symbol is both the Wild and the Scatter in this game. As a Wild it substitutes for any other symbol on the reels to complete a winning line. As a Scatter it rewards for 3 or more landing anywhere — and 3 or more is what triggers the Free Spins round.
Use Autoplay if You Prefer: You can program a number of spins to occur automatically with the Autoplay feature. This is helpful for extended sessions if you would prefer to watch the spins unfold without clicking each time after setting your play amount once.
Book of RA Magic Slot Features and Bonuses
| Feature | What It Does | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Book of Ra (Wild) | Substitutes for all other symbols | The Book of Ra icon replaces every symbol on the reels except itself when acting as a Scatter. It appears on all 5 reels and can land on any row. |
| Book of Ra (Scatter) | Triggers Free Spins and rewards independently | Land 3, 4, or 5 Book symbols anywhere on the reels to trigger the Free Spins round. Scatters also reward on their own: 3 Books wins 2x your total play amount, 4 wins 20x, and 5 wins 200x. |
| Special Expanding Symbol | Expands across full reels during Free Spins | Before Free Spins begin, one symbol is randomly selected. Each time this symbol appears during the bonus, it expands to fill its entire reel and rewards on all active lines regardless of position. |
| Free Spins Round | 10 free spins with expanding symbol active | Triggered by 3+ Scatter symbols. The chosen symbol expands and rewards on all lines — no need to be adjacent. Landing 3+ Scatters during the bonus re-triggers 10 more spins and adds a new expanding symbol. |
| Multi-Symbol Expansion | Additional symbols unlock on each retrigger | Each time you re-trigger during Free Spins, a new random symbol is added to the expanding list. You can unlock up to 9 different expanding symbols in a single bonus run. |
| GuessFeature | Optional chance to double a win | After any base game win, you can choose to guess it. Guess the correct color of a face-down card (red or black) to double your coins. A wrong guess loses the amount you chose to guess. You can attempt this up to 5 times in a row on the same win. |
What Symbols Win in Book of Ra Magic
All wins are calculated as multipliers of your line play amount. Symbols need to land from reel 1 leftward to count. The Explorer and Sarcophagus reward from just 2 symbols; all others need at least 3:
| Symbol | 5x | 4x | 3x | 2x | Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Explorer | 500x | 100x | 10x | 2x | Top prize |
| Book of Ra | 200x | 20x | 2x | — | Wild + Scatter |
| Sarcophagus | 200x | 20x | 2x | — | High value |
| Statue of Ra | 75x | 10x | 1x | — | Mid value |
| Scarab Beetle | 75x | 10x | 1x | — | Mid value |
| A | 15x | 5x | 1x | — | Low value |
| K | 10x | 5x | 1x | — | Low value |
| Q | 10x | 5x | 1x | — | Low value |
| J | 5x | 2x | 0.5x | — | Low value |
| 10 | 5x | 2x | 0.5x | — | Low value |
The Explorer at 500x for five on a line is the top single-line reward. When the Explorer is the chosen expanding symbol during Free Spins and it starts covering full reels across multiple spins, that 500x value — spread across all active lines simultaneously — is where the game's maximum win potential of 5,000x your total play amount lives.
RTP and Volatility
Book of Ra Magic carries an RTP of 95.03%, which is consistent with the wider Book of Ra series. This sits slightly below the online slot average but is typical for Novomatic's classic titles. Volatility is high, which is the defining characteristic of this game and the whole series.
High volatility means two things in practice. First, spins in the base game can go through quiet stretches where wins are small and infrequent — card symbols landing for modest returns without much building toward anything. Second, when the bonus round hits and the expanding symbol aligns well, the wins that follow can be significantly larger than what most medium-volatility games deliver. A good Free Spins run with the Explorer as the expanding symbol, or better yet a run that retriggers into a second expanding symbol, is the moment the game fully justifies its design.
Tips for Playing Book of Ra Magic
The Symbol Selection Matters: When the Book opens to select your expanding symbol before Free Spins begin, the Explorer is the outcome you're hoping for. At 500x for five, it rewards dramatically more than card symbols during expansions. You have no control over which symbol is selected — it's completely random — but knowing the hierarchy helps you understand how each bonus run unfolds.
Re-triggers Are the Real Prize: A single run of 10 Free Spins with one expanding symbol is enjoyable. A run that retriggers and adds a second symbol is where this game truly opens up. Keep an eye on the Scatter symbols during the bonus — each Book that lands during your free spins is also inching you toward re-triggering the feature and unlocking a second expanding symbol.
Use the Guess Feature Carefully: The Guess feature offers a 50/50 chance to double any win after a spin. It's entirely optional and the odds never change — red or black, it's always 50%. It makes sense to skip it for small card-symbol wins where the extra coins won't make much difference either way. Reserve it, if you use it at all, for moments where a meaningful win has just landed.
Let the Daily GC Work for You: Lavish Luck gives out free GC every day. Book of Ra Magic has high volatility, which means sessions can go through quiet phases before something significant happens. Using your daily free GC to play through those phases without pressure is one of the best ways to enjoy what this game actually offers.
