pgs Book of Dead Game Mechanics
Book of Dead operates on a 5-reel, 9-payline structure. The game centres on a wild expansion feature—when a book symbol lands on any reel, it expands to fill the entire reel, triggering potential cascades. Our pgs platform displays the game in full-screen mode on desktop and scaled mobile viewport, so the mechanics remain consistent across devices.
The game features three main bonus mechanics. First, scatter symbols trigger free spins—typically between 8 and 15 spins depending on scatter count. During free spins, one symbol is randomly selected as an expanding wild, dramatically increasing win potential. Second, the book symbol itself acts as both scatter and wild, creating additional winning combinations. Third, consecutive wins may trigger re-triggers on free-spin rounds, extending the bonus window.
Our pgs version of Book of Dead is optimized for tournament play—the fast-paced spin rhythm and frequent bonus triggers make it ideal for competitive leaderboard events.
Symbol Values and Winning Combinations
Book of Dead uses a tiered symbol structure. High-value symbols include the explorer character, scarab beetle, and ancient artifacts, each paying between 20 and 100 times your stake for a full reel. Medium-value symbols are numbered 10 through A (standard playing cards), paying 5 to 20 times stake. The book symbol is the most valuable—landing five books on a single line pays the maximum, typically between 150 and 250 times your stake depending on the software version you are playing on our pgs platform.
Scatter symbols do not require alignment on a payline—they trigger free spins when three or more land anywhere on the reels. Our pgs system automatically calculates all winning combinations across the nine paylines and displays the result in real time. If you land overlapping wins (for example, a scatter trigger combined with a line win), we credit both payouts.
Free-Spin Mechanics and Expansion Wilds
Free spins are the most rewarding feature in Book of Dead play on pgs. When the free-spin round activates, our system randomly selects one symbol to act as an expanding wild throughout the bonus. If that symbol lands on any reel during free spins, it expands vertically to fill the entire reel, creating multiple winning paths in a single spin.
Our pgs platform awards free spins in tiers: three scatters grant 8 spins, four scatters grant 12 spins, and five scatters grant 15 spins. If you land additional scatters during the free-spin round itself, we award a re-trigger—typically 5 more spins added to your remaining count. This re-trigger mechanism can extend your bonus window significantly, especially when combined with frequent expansion wild landings.
Stake Levels and Bankroll Management
Our pgs platform lets you adjust your stake from a minimum level (typically our welcome offer equivalent) up to a maximum (typically our welcome offer equivalent). You set your stake before spinning, and your total bet is calculated as stake multiplied by the number of active paylines (9). Minimum and maximum stake ranges may vary slightly between the Pragmatic Play, PG Soft, and Habanero versions available on pgs.
We recommend that users on pgs manage their bankroll carefully. Deposit only amounts you can afford to spend, and track your cumulative play time and total stake. Our pgs support team can assist with account queries, but responsibility for bankroll decisions rests with you. If you have concerns about your play habits, contact our support team—we are available during business hours.
Tournament Performance and Book of Dead
Our pgs tournaments featuring Book of Dead rank participants by cumulative performance across all spins during the event window. Leaderboard position is determined by a metric—typically total wins, multiplier achievement, or bonus-round frequency. We publish the ranking criteria before each tournament starts on our pgs platform.
Software Provider Differences
We host Book of Dead from three major providers on pgs: Pragmatic Play, PG Soft, and Habanero. While the core game theme and mechanics are consistent, each version may feature minor differences. Pragmatic Play's version is known for frequent bonus triggers and smooth animations. PG Soft's iteration emphasizes mobile responsiveness and touch controls. Habanero's edition focuses on competitive tournament integration and leaderboard compatibility.
On our pgs platform, you can select which version you prefer when launching the game. Your account balance and play history are synchronized across all three versions, so switching providers does not affect your account status. Tournament participation is game-agnostic—you earn leaderboard points regardless of which provider version you are playing.
