Book of Ra is a 5 reel slot game with cool graphics around the Egyptian theme, with an intrepid archaeologist character in search of treasure that’s bound to be of historic interest with mystical powers and most certainly elusive.

It’s a 9 pay line game with main jackpot that’s not to be sniffed at – 5000x your line bet will be coming your way if you get 5 ARCHAEOLOGISTS on an active pay line. Also, look out for the SCATTERED BOOK. The power of this mystical book is released when 3 or more appear on the reels, awarding you 10 FREE GAMES.

So far, so good – there’s reasonable winning options plus a GAMBLE feature for those who like a little more risk and may choose to take the chance to double up on their winnings. I made several wins of over 5 times my total bet in the 10 minutes I spent spinning the reels.

I have to say the sound-effects are very poor as the game sounds like a machine from an 80s slot arcade, but if that doesn’t bother you, give it a go. The Egyptian Gods may be smiling on you, and bring good fortune in the form of symbols from Pharaoh times on the reels.
