Book Of Ra 2
Welcome to the World of Book of Ra 2!
We're excited to introduce you to Book of Ra 2, known among German players as the enhanced sequel to Novomatic's legendary slot. This upgraded version, officially called "Book of Ra Deluxe" since its 2008 release, maintains the beloved Indiana Jones-inspired adventure while delivering sharper graphics and improved gameplay mechanics.
What Makes This Version Special
Our featured game expands the original experience with ten adjustable paylines and boosts the RTP to 95.03% across most German-licensed casinos. We've seen how these improvements create more winning opportunities without losing the classic charm that made the original so popular.
Immersive Egyptian Adventure
We love how players step into the role of a daring archaeologist hunting for the mysterious book. The torch-lit chambers, detailed pharaoh masks, and gleaming scarabs come alive against a remastered orchestral soundtrack that builds tension with each spin.

Unlocking the Treasures: How to Play
Setting Up Your Game
We recommend starting by adjusting your coin value between €0.01 and €5, then selecting anywhere from 1 to 10 paylines on the 5×3 grid. This adjustable-line system gives you complete control over your bankroll, just like in the original Book of Ra.
Symbol Values and Payouts
The Explorer symbol offers the biggest rewards, paying up to 5,000× your line bet when you land five across a payline. Other high-value symbols include the Pharaoh, Scarab, and Statue of Isis. Card royals from 10 through Ace provide smaller but more frequent wins. The Book of Ra icon serves double duty as both wild and scatter, substituting for all symbols while paying 2×, 20×, or 200× your total stake for 3, 4, or 5 anywhere on screen.
Free Spins and Special Features
Landing three or more Book symbols triggers 10 free spins. During this bonus round, we see one randomly selected symbol expand to cover entire reels, paying on any active line even when symbols aren't adjacent. You can retrigger this feature up to 9 times per bonus round. With 95.03% RTP and high volatility, expect bigger but less frequent payouts.
The Deluxe Difference
Visual Upgrades
We've witnessed a remarkable transformation with Book of Ra Deluxe, which many know as Book of Ra 2. The original's grainy 2004 artwork has been completely replaced with sharp 3-D graphics and an enhanced desert backdrop. The upgraded 1280 × 720 resolution brings every detail to life - from the golden scarabs to the mysterious explorer and that legendary Book symbol. Smoother reel animations pull you deeper into this Egyptian adventure.
Enhanced Gameplay Features
| Feature | Book of Ra Classic | Book of Ra Deluxe |
|---|---|---|
| Paylines | 9 fixed | 10 selectable |
| RTP (online) | ≈ 92.13 % | ≈ 95.03 % |
| Max Win | 5,000× stake | 5,000× stake |
| Bonus | 10 free spins + expanding symbol | Same, but retriggers more often |
| Release Year | 2004 | 2008 |
The additional payline boosts the hit rate to roughly 31.5%, while the improved RTP delivers better long-term returns. We appreciate the streamlined interface that positions betting controls below the reels, includes Turbo mode, and allows Autoplay to run up to 1,000 rounds with one click.
Novomatic: The Masters Behind the Game
Company Foundation
We recognize Novomatic as a true pioneer in gaming innovation. Johann Graf established the company in 1980, and since then we've watched it evolve into a global powerhouse. The group now employs over 21,000 professionals and delivers more than 2,100 gaming titles across 50+ jurisdictions worldwide. While their portfolio spans everything from classic table games to modern video slots, we consistently see the Book of Ra series dominating European markets, especially here in Germany.
Technical Excellence
We appreciate how Novomatic's development teams in Gumpoldskirchen and Berlin push technological boundaries. Their advanced HTML5 engine powers Book of Ra 2's smooth performance across all devices. The game features a classic 5-reel, 9-payline structure with 96.0% RTP and the beloved Free Games bonus round with expanding symbols.
- Licensed by MGA, UKGC, and Spillemyndigheden
- GLI and eCOGRA certified for fair gaming
- ISO 27001 data protection standards
- Multiple EGR industry award nominations
Fair Gaming Standards
We trust Novomatic's commitment to transparency. Their RNG systems generate over 4 billion combinations per second, ensuring completely random outcomes. German casinos regularly publish payout reports that confirm actual returns match the stated RTP percentages.
Cracking the Code: Winning Strategies
Game Mechanics Breakdown
We need to understand that Book of Ra 2 operates on a certified random number generator, making each spin completely independent. The 5-reel, 10-payline structure offers solid winning potential when we know what to look for. Five Explorer symbols deliver the top prize of 5,000 × line bet, while landing three or more Book symbols triggers 10 free spins with expanding symbols.
Smart Money Management
Our approach focuses on sustainable play rather than quick wins. We recommend activating all 10 paylines at your minimum comfortable coin value and setting session limits around 100 × your base stake. This strategy helps us weather the game's high volatility while staying in control.
Advanced Play Techniques
The game's 95.10% RTP and high variance create distinct patterns we can work with. After significant wins, we typically reduce our bet size to protect profits, then gradually increase stakes as our balance grows. The gamble feature doubles wins up to €140, but we limit its use to prizes under 10 × our stake to minimize risk.

Protecting Your Funds
We recommend activating two-factor authentication and maintaining withdrawal limits within your comfort zone. German law sets a default €1,000 monthly limit. This approach lets you enjoy Book of Ra 2 while benefiting from SSL encryption and regulatory protection.
