Book of Dead GO Collect Slot

First, a quick history lesson.

Back in 2016, Play’n GO released what would become one of the most talked-about casino slots of the modern era (and yes, Book of Ra fans, I see you). That game was Book of Dead. Love it or loathe it, it made an impact. Even today, the mere mention of its name sparks strong reactions from seasoned players who’ve ridden its wild swings more than once.

And now… it returns in a new form.

Play’n GO has unleashed Book of Dead GO Collect.

Cue the dramatic soundtrack.

In this review, I’ll break down everything you need to know, from bonus features to gameplay settings, so you can decide whether this latest chapter is a thrilling revival or simply another dusty relic. And of course, if curiosity gets the better of you, the free demo is waiting, ready to be explored at your leisure.

Let’s dig in.

Playing video slots and gaining success is part luck and part fiddly bits. The fiddly bits in question are things like the Book of Dead GO Collect slot RTP, which is 96.20%. Plus, you have the volatility setting, which is set to a high level. The two combine to offer a gaming experience that can be challenging at times, with fewer hits than in a low- or medium-volatility slot. However, there is room for exceptional wins when your luck comes in.

To win, you need to land two or more of the high-valued symbols, or three or more of the low-valued symbols, on any of the ten paylines that are woven into the 5x3 layout. The max win is 10,000x your wager. Now, bets range from $0.10 to $50, which makes the highest possible jackpot $500,000! This value-for-money is perhaps the only good thing about the slot.

Now, in all fairness, Book of Dead GO Collect has way more special features than the original release. These include the four jackpot instant prizes, the bonus free spins, the Treasure Vault feature, and a classic old-school Gamble feature. However, note that no Bonus Buy feature is available in this game.

Let’s see. The gameplay is dull and unengaging. The features could be good if they actually landed with any consistency. What I don’t understand is this: Book of Dead is supposed to feel epic, all “Oooooh, ancient power and sacred treasure,” yet this follow-up feels underwhelming by comparison. I’ve experienced more satisfying sequels after a questionable takeaway.

It simply isn’t good enough. A game carrying the Book of Dead name needed to excel. It needed to feel bigger, bolder, and grander. Instead, it falls flat. You’ll find far better options buried in most online casino menus.

But by all means, feel free to test the demo game; that’s exactly why it’s there.
