Book of Dead RTP: Five Versions, Not One

In short: Book of Dead ships in five certified return settings rather than a single one. Play'n GO's own rules document lists 96.21%, 94.25%, 91.25%, 87.25% and 84.18%, and the casino picks which of them its lobby runs.

The number most pages print for this slot, 96.21%, is only the default. Play'n GO certifies four lower settings alongside it, and the operator decides which one you are actually playing.

RTP (return to Player)

RTP is the share of all stakes a slot pays back across millions of spins. For Book of Dead it spans five settings rather than one. Play'n GO certifies five settings, from 96.21% down to 84.18%, and the casino chooses one when it installs the game.

Five RTP Settings, One Game

Play'n GO certifies Book of Dead in five return configurations and lets the casino pick one. The studio's Game Rules and Settings document, reference GRS0595, prints them in a single table, with 96.21% marked as the default and four lower settings beside it.

Figures current as of ; the operator's live terms prevail.

The document says it in plain words: "Default settings can be changed by the operator." A footnote adds that "Default values may vary depending on the market."

None of this is hidden. It simply stops short of the player.

Which RTP the Game Screen Shows

The game prints a return figure only when the casino's installation carries a jurisdiction code, and then it always prints the default. Under the Italian code the rules screen adds one sentence: "The average RTP is 96.21%. The RTP is achieved through participation."

That sentence is true and useless at the same time.

It confirms the default exists. It does not tell you whether the lobby you are sitting in bought the default or the 84.18% build, because the screen prints the same line either way.

Italian Casinos Already Print Different RTP

Three ADM licensees publish three positions on the same game, and two of them sit apart. Eurobet, concession 16012, states 94,25% in its own game record. Betsson.it, concession 16027, publishes 94,25% as well. SNAI, concession 16032, publishes 96,21%.

Three Italian Licensees, Three Prints

CasinoADM concessionReturn published
Eurobet1601294,25%
Betsson.it1602794,25%
SNAI1603296,21%

SNAI goes further than the number.

Its own page warns readers that lower-return builds of this slot exist at some online casinos. That is an unusual thing for a casino to volunteer, and it is the clearest confirmation of the whole picture we found.

One note on how we read these. We fetched the Eurobet figure ourselves from the machine-readable record behind its game page, which is the only place it appears; the rendered page omits it entirely. That record is where the sentence lives, and it reads that the return to player is 94,25%. The SNAI and Betsson wording comes from archived captures rather than a live fetch, since every large Italian casino blocks visitors outside the country. We say which is which because the difference matters to anyone checking behind us.

Why the Demo Shows No Figure

Play'n GO's public demo runs without a jurisdiction code, which leaves its rules panel blank where the return would be. We pulled the whole panel out of the client and read it end to end: 5,361 characters, and the letters RTP appear exactly once, inside a sentence about the gamble round.

How to Find Your Own RTP

Open the game rules inside your own casino before you deposit, and read the figure there. That single screen is the only place the setting behind your lobby is stated. If your casino shows nothing, treat the return as unknown rather than as 96.21%.

Picking a lobby on this number alone would be a mistake.

A casino that publishes its setting has told you something real. One that stays quiet has told you something too.

What Else Do Readers Ask?

Most questions we get about this slot's return turn out to be about something other than the maths. They are about where to look and who to believe, so these answers point at screens and documents rather than at averages.

Does the free demo show which return setting it runs?

No, the public demo carries no jurisdiction code, so its rules panel prints no return figure. We read the whole panel and found none.

Can I ask a casino which version it installed?

Support can answer, but the checkable place is the game's own rules screen inside that lobby. It states the figure the installation actually runs.

Does the gamble round change the return?

No. Play'n GO states in the rules that the gamble feature will not impact the overall RTP, and its ceiling is 2,500 coins.

Do free spins pay at a different rate?

Free spins sit inside the same certified setting. Play'n GO publishes one figure per configuration, covering base play and the feature together.

Is the setting the same on mobile and desktop?

Yes. The configuration belongs to the casino's installation of the game, not to the device you open it on.
