How to play Book of Ra
The hugely popular casino game Book of Ra slot is based around an Ancient Egyptian theme. The makers of the game (Novomatic), clearly know what a popular theme this is and give their fans what they want with iconic, striking graphics and cool features.
The main character of the game and most valuable feature is an adventurer kitted out with a whip and a trendy leather hat. History buffs will love the authentic graphics, which all represent famous Egyptian symbols and are all superbly accurate. The mask of Tutankhamen famously discovered by the English explorer Howard Carter, is another highly valuable symbol in this slot.
Get three or more of the not so pretty dung beetle or golden statue and you’re sure of a decent pay out. Playing cards with hieroglyphics keep with the theme of the game and are lower value base game symbols.
To top it all off, land on the Book of Ra symbol and you can choose the Wild or Scatter option. Go for wild and this can substitute for any other symbol in the game. But don’t worry, the game will help you out by calculating how best to do that for optimum results.
Whereas during the ancient times Ra represented life as a creator, death in the underworld and everything between, nowadays Ra brings joy, wealth and excitement in the form of lucrative wins, delicious free spins and exquisite bonus games. Book of Ra Magic. Book of Ra Magic is one dares to say the hit game of 2018 in the world of casino games, and we assume that will not change in the future and that it will find a way into the hearts of many players because it has all the qualities to it.
Dunover’s feeling a little clonely tonight…..
Well, we’ve all noticed as players that some slot ideas are more popular than others and sometimes even the same developer has several versions of the a game to create their own online slot clones. We see another slot released and all groan in unison “Another bloody clone!” far too often. Big Time Gaming’s Megaways games have been licensed out to Blueprint and those versions along with BTG’s themselves, for example Who Wants To Be A Millionaire are all slightly different which is a comfort of sorts, but usually little effort is made to alter a game.
Clone Wars
You probably know that Microgaming for example have Thunderstruck, Spring Break, Agent Jane Blonde and Ladies Nite as online slot clones which are all identical maths models with different symbols. Netent have Twin Spin and Fantasini while Novomatic have Book Of Ra Deluxe and Lord Of The Ocean. Blueprint Gaming have Ted and King Kong Cash and numerous other copies of them, but do you know the most copied slot models of all time? You may be surprised, or not!
Dem Clones, Dem Dry Clones:
Book Of Ra Online Casino 2018 Rooms
Well many of you have suggested Netent’s Starburst is copied most, but I have to tell you that slot is only in bronze medal position with around 27 copies.
The previous leader of the online slot clones until 2017 was actually Aristocrat’s Buffalo which now occupies silver medal position. In case you weren’t aware Buffalo is an older 1024-way slot which has wilds on the middle 3 reels that offer 2 or 3x multipliers in the free games thus making a maximum 27x multiplier, the kind of game Raging Rhino was based on. This has in excess of 30 copies from various developers.
Drum Roll…..top of the clones is….
Book Of Ra Online
Yep! Book Of Ra Deluxe easily tops the list of online slot clones. Novomatic’s tightwad explorer has been emulated by numerous developers especially in the last 3 years and was most notably totally and shamelessly imitated by Play’n Go with their Book Of Dead game back in 2016. That is only the tip of the iceberg though, as below here is a list of developers and their versions and it may make you weep in disbelief! Admittedly some versions may have a different amount of paying lines but these are highlighted and are very few of the massive total. It certainly shocked me when compiling the list!
