What You’re Playing

The Legend of Rich Wilde

Book of Dead is a 5-reel, 3-row, 10-payline slot released by Play’n GO in 2014. Featuring the fictional archaeologist Rich Wilde, it is set inside an Egyptian tomb where a single bonus symbol — the Book of Dead itself — acts simultaneously as Wild and Scatter.

What earns the game its legendary status is the expanding symbol mechanic during free spins: one randomly chosen symbol expands to fill entire reels, and with 10 paylines on a 5-reel grid, a full 5-of-a-kind covering all three rows pays up to 5,000× your stake in a single spin.




A Single Spin

How the Tomb Opens

Follow one spin through from start to the 5,000× outcome — the exact sequence every NZ player hopes to see.

Stage I
📖
3 Books Land

Three or more Book of Dead scatter symbols appear anywhere on the 5 reels. The Scatter also acts as Wild — substituting for any other symbol on regular paylines.

Stage II
🎲
Symbol Chosen

One symbol is randomly selected as the expanding symbol for your entire free spins round — Rich Wilde (👑), Anubis (🐺), Horus (🦅), the Scarab (🪲) or the Book itself (📖).

Fixed for all 10 spins
→
Stage III
👑
Symbol Expands

Whenever the chosen symbol appears on a reel during free spins, it expands to fill all 3 rows of that reel. Land it on 3, 4, or 5 reels for increasingly massive payouts.

3 rows covered per reel

Stage IV
5,000×
Maximum Win

5 Rich Wilde symbols covering all 3 rows across all 5 reels, multiplied across all 10 paylines, equals 5,000× your total stake. The game’s ultimate outcome.

The tomb’s greatest reward

↻Retrigger: Landing 3+ Book symbols during the free spins round awards +10 more free spins, with the same expanding symbol maintained. Retriggering is uncapped — players have recorded 40+ free spins in a single feature round.

For the Wise Player

What NZ Players Need to Know

I.
No Buy Bonus — patience required
Unlike Gates of Olympus or Sweet Bonanza, Book of Dead offers no Buy Bonus feature. You must wait for 3+ scatter books to land naturally. Sessions need a bankroll of at least 50 spins at your chosen stake to ride the variance.
II.
The expanding symbol is everything
Your 10 free spins are defined entirely by which symbol is chosen. Rich Wilde or Horus = high potential. Scarab or card symbols = modest return. You cannot influence the choice — it is randomly determined before the first free spin.
III.
Welcome bonus: full slot eligibility
Book of Dead contributes 100% toward wagering requirements on the Christchurch Casino NZ welcome bonus. Play it freely with your matched bonus funds — no restrictions on this title.
IV.
10 paylines — all should be active
Book of Dead has fixed 10 paylines — you cannot reduce them. The minimum bet covers all 10 lines. This ensures the expanding symbol feature pays on all possible winning combinations during free spins.
V.
This is a high-volatility experience
Long stretches without wins are normal and expected. The game’s structure is binary: base game covers minimal losses, and the free spins round with the right expanding symbol is where all significant returns occur. Plan your NZD bankroll accordingly.

“The tomb gives nothing easily. But when Rich Wilde expands across all five reels, the reward justifies every patient spin before it.”

How does the expanding symbol work in Book of Dead?

When you trigger the free spins round, one symbol is randomly chosen as the “expanding symbol” for the entire 10-spin sequence. During each free spin, whenever that chosen symbol appears on a reel, it expands to fill all 3 rows of that reel — regardless of how many rows it originally occupied. If the expanding symbol appears on 5 reels simultaneously, all 10 paylines pay out a 5-of-a-kind win, producing the game’s maximum 5,000× outcome.

Does Book of Dead have a buy bonus feature?

No. Book of Dead does not offer a Buy Bonus feature — the free spins round can only be triggered by landing 3 or more Book of Dead scatter symbols naturally during base game play. This is one of the key differences from more modern cluster-pays slots like Gates of Olympus (buy bonus: 100× stake) and Sweet Bonanza (buy bonus: 100× stake or ante bet). The absence of a buy feature makes Book of Dead more suited to players who enjoy building toward the bonus organically.

What is the minimum bet for Book of Dead in NZD?

The minimum bet is NZ$0.10 per spin (covering all 10 fixed paylines) and the maximum is NZ$100 per spin. At NZ$0.10/spin, the maximum possible win is NZ$500. At NZ$1/spin the max win is NZ$5,000, and at NZ$10/spin it reaches NZ$50,000. All bets are placed in NZD at Christchurch Casino NZ with no currency conversion.

Can I play Book of Dead on mobile in New Zealand?

Yes. Book of Dead is fully optimised for mobile play on both iOS and Android. The 5×3 reel grid translates cleanly to smartphone screens in portrait and landscape orientation. Open Christchurch Casino NZ in Safari or Chrome on your mobile device — no app download needed. The game loads instantly and all features, including the free spins expanding symbol mechanic, work identically on mobile as on desktop.

How does Book of Dead compare to Gates of Olympus and Sweet Bonanza?

Book of Dead is the oldest and most traditional of the three — a classic 5-reel, 10-payline slot from 2014, versus the modern 6×5 cluster-pays mechanics of Gates of Olympus (2021) and Sweet Bonanza (2019). Book of Dead offers a lower maximum win (5,000× vs 5,000× and 21,100×) but its simpler, proven mechanic and lower minimum bet (NZ$0.10) make it accessible to budget-conscious NZ players. It does not have a buy bonus feature, which means you cannot shortcut to the free spins. All three are available in NZD at Christchurch Casino NZ and contribute 100% to bonus wagering requirements.
