Book of Dead Reference for Casino Players
Book of Dead reference pages sit in one place: 11 of them so far, every one dated and written to the same method. Each page settles one number or one definition, quotes it in the form the provider or the register prints it, names that source, and dates itself. The arithmetic behind every verdict and lesson sits here. Written for adults aged 18 or over.
In short: this section holds 11 reference pages about Book of Dead, each one dated. Each figure on these reference pages comes from one ledger: a return of 96.21% and a win ceiling of The game states its ceiling in coins rather than as a multiplier: 250, each quoted as the client prints it. 0 of 11 carry a score out of 10, last checked .

How a Book of Dead Number Is Sourced
Sourcing a Book of Dead number is the whole job of this fact desk. Book of Dead is a slot game, and catalogues, forums, and affiliate pages argue over its numbers until the original figure disappears. Each of the 11 pages here answers one question, says the answer once in full, and names the source beside it.
Two Sources, One Answer
What happens when two publishers disagree? The page prints both figures and says which one the provider stands behind. Where the provider publishes nothing, the page says so instead of estimating. That is slower than averaging, but an averaged number is an invented number, and the reader pays for it.
- Return ranges as the provider prints them, with any operator tweak flagged.
- Win limits as the game client shows them, in the wording it uses.
- Supplier licences by number, checked in the regulator's own register.
- Definitions written in one sentence, then unpacked in a longer one.
Where the Verification Happens
We start inside the game client. If the client prints a figure, we confirm it there, working from the information panel through to the last round of a recorded session, before opening a single catalogue. A licence number is the exception: that one we check in the regulator's register. Play'n GO runs the free demo we use for all of it. No account, no deposit, and the information panel is open to anyone who wants to read the constraints first.
Return First, Then the Ceiling
Return comes first, and the ceiling second. Return to player leads because it is the number most often misquoted. According to Play'n GO, this title publishes more than one return: 96.21%, 94.25%, 91.25%, 87.25% and 84.18%, depending on how a round is entered, so these reference pages name which of them applies before quoting a number. Where a third-party catalogue lists a configuration the studio has not published for this title, these reference pages credit that figure to the catalogue instead of to the studio.
Where the Ceiling Comes From
The game prints its own ceiling; a listing only repeats one. The client states the win ceiling as The game states its ceiling in coins rather than as a multiplier: 250,000 coins, and that is the figure the reference pages here are written against. A catalogue figure can mean something else entirely, so each page here names the screen it read. After return come the win ceiling, the bonus mechanics, the supplier licences, and the plain question of what kind of game this is.
A Definition That Travels
We write a definition page so it survives being quoted out of context: one sentence of answer, one paragraph of detail, one worked example. Need only the answer? Stop after the first sentence. Need the working? Read on.
- Every figure carries the date we last checked it.
- Unpublished values are labelled unpublished.
How This Section Verifies a Figure
Wording matters at a game fact desk. A definition that travels without its caveat turns into a false claim, so every definition here carries its exceptions, the numbers behind it, and whoever published it first.
A check date promises one thing only: somebody opened that source on that day. So a correction moves the update date of the page it touches, and we fix the ledger in the same pass. How we test sets out the full method, including how we score and what we refuse to publish.
We are an affiliate publisher. We disclose that beside every sponsored link, and no operator buys a kinder write-up. Local law decides whether you can open an account at all, and the operator enforces its own identity checks, so nothing on these reference pages is legal advice for any country.
Reading Order: The Number, Then Its Context
Reading order here is simple: a verdict gives the judgement, a lesson teaches the play, and the number sits in its context on these reference pages. Pick the page your question demands, for instance RTP Versions Explained, Expanding Symbol and ADM concession check.
A reference figure is only as fresh as its source, though. Every page carries its publication and revision dates, and an operator's live terms remain the final word. Availability of the game varies by country and by region, and these pages assume a reader of 18 or older.
Pages most readers open first:
- our review and score
- the free demo, round by round
- the published RTP range
- the casinos we checked
- how the game is actually played
Known Limits of the Book of Dead Fact Desk
The fact desk has edges worth stating up front. It offers published figures, licence numbers, and definitions. It does not offer an independent payout audit, a certificate we issued ourselves, or a laboratory report. Where no named test laboratory covers a title, the page says exactly that.
A figure might also be configured differently in the lobby you use than in the one a catalogue listed. Treat the range as the honest answer and the single number as the exception.
- Conflicting sources are printed side by side, with the publisher of each one named.
- Nothing is quoted from a competitor or an affiliate feed as if it were a primary source.

Book of Dead Facts on Record
Book of Dead facts on record are the ledger values every page in this section has to agree with. Where the provider publishes a range instead of a figure, we print the range. A single number quoted somewhere else is one operator's setting, and we say so.
- Game:
- Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead (a Play'n GO video slot)
- Type:
- Slot game
- RTP as published:
- Five configurations rather than one number: a default of 96.21%, plus 94.25%, 91.25%, 87.25% and 84.18%, with the operator choosing which one its lobby runs.
- Max win:
- The game states its ceiling in coins rather than as a multiplier: 250,000 coins.
Where the provider has never published a value, we mark it unpublished. That is a weaker answer than a number. It is also the only honest one we have.
We check every figure against that same ledger. When one contradicts it, we fix the page, the ledger, or both, and stamp the fix with the date we made it.
- We print ranges end to end, exactly as the provider publishes them.
- Whatever an operator sets, it sits inside that provider range.
RTP Versions Explained
The number most pages print for this slot, 96.21%, is only the default. Filed as an explainer page, first published on .

What the Page Settles
Play'n GO certifies four lower settings alongside it, and the operator decides which one you are actually playing.

Expanding Symbol
One symbol is chosen at random before the round starts and held for every spin in it. An explainer entry; its last edit is dated .

Where Its Figures Come From
Which one you get decides what the feature is worth, and we drew the cheapest icon on the table twice.
One icon is picked at random before each bonus round in Book of Dead and held for all ten spins. What decides it, when it opens, and what we actually drew.

ADM Concession Check

It does not exist, and that is not a gap in the paperwork.
ADM licenses the casino, never the studio behind the slot.

Max Win Explained
The paytable ends with one line: WIN UP TO 250000 COINS. Revised , and kept current by the faq desk.

Why It Earns a Place Here
Everything else you read about this slot's ceiling, including the familiar 5,000x, is that figure divided by a stake.
The paytable names one ceiling, 250,000 coins.

Book of Dead Session Frames
Every Book of Dead frame below comes from our own recorded demo and lobby sessions, and each caption says exactly what its frame shows.
A frame keeps the caption its manifest entry earns. That is why an idle game screen is labelled an idle screen.
The manifest records exactly what each frame shows, and our method forbids us from claiming a word more than that.



- We captured every frame ourselves, in the sessions its manifest entry records.
- A frame is reused across pages only when it genuinely illustrates both.
