Pragmatic Play enters the fray with Return Of The Dead, an adventure slot that draws inspiration from...the book of slots...it’s not zombies this time around, rather we return to the era of Ancient Egypt with the help of a daring adventurer that himself shows up on the reels quite a bit.
The theme might be a bit worn out, but what about the game setting? How many lines are you going to bet on? What kind of prizes does the slot offer? What about special features, visuals and audio? Read on to find out.
Theme and Symbols
Book of this and book of that, do you know such slots? They go with the theme of an adventurer on the lookout for a treasure, a book or a tablet, usually set in ancient times...giving that sort of Indian Jones vibe. Well, that’s pretty much what this Pragmatic Play slot is about, except the title is a bit different. Don’t worry, it’s actually the Book of Return Of The Dead that you’re looking for.
Despite the above being a bit of a shortcoming, graphically and soundwise the game feels and looks pretty good, and does justice for the theme.
Betting Options and Functions
Let’s get on the reels, the most important part of the slot. First off, the RTP is quite high and close to 97%, which alone is usually a good sign of a slot to spin… but things do vary depending on who the rest of the game is set up...what’s the case here?
The game sets you on a 5x3 reel setup, which is then covered with ten paylines. On those ten paylines you’re going to find prizes that are hard to land, variance being extremely high, but which also pay from 5 to 5 000 times your line bet! Sure is worth exploring an old theme with wins like this!
Features
...and with wins like that, you can be certain that there’s isn’t all that much that is left to be had via the special features.
That’s why the only bonus this comes with are the bonus spins. It works well with the high variance. You’ll get ten spins with three scatters. At the start of these spins one symbol is selected as special, and whenever it lands it expands to cover an entire reel. A five symbol combo with this symbol is then sure to score through all ten paylines.
Our Take
Pragmatic Play isn’t exactly exploring unknown territory with this slot, but that’s all the same once you spot the wins. What matters is that you’ve got a quality slot with an entertaining theme in your hands...and more importantly, it comes with high variance wins that are going to keep you glued to the reels.

Return of the dead is a another book game I probably would never waste my time with again it was very boring to spin with low pay outs and nothing interesting about it to make it stand out form other games it just an average book game with nothing to keep you going back at all.

Had a go at Return of the Dead and it's pretty thrilling. The Egyptian theme with a spooky twist is interesting. I hit some good wins with the expanding symbols. The game's mystery and graphics kept me hooked. It's a fun slot if you like a bit of adventure.

This slot peeked my interest because of the theme and the characters. I am a huge fan of the Mummy films. This slot has a lot of symbols that represent Egypt. It is fun to spin and the characters are well drawn.

Book of dead blaatent copy that either dead spins or pays very well bonuses seem to give at least 1 4 symbol drop for premiums or full screen for low symbols every other bonus.

It looks like it's a new studio for Pragmatic Play since it has different cashier icons and the vibe is different, I have noticed that they're coming out with quite a few similar looking slots. I have played this game several times and have had a few 100x bet wins. But other than that, I am not a fan. Surely it's your typical...

I have played this game several times and have had a few 100x bet wins. But other than that, I am not a fan. Surely it's your typical book game but I like their other book slots better. It's not a bad game but it's also nothing too special.

This is one of the best Book clones for me so far! I really got some crazy streak the first three sessions i had on it, and i've logged about a gazillion spins on Book of Dead, but never got even 4 explorers, here i got them on my 2nd go! Seems more streaky and for me personally more lucky :) It's all relative, that's...

Did not expect much of this. Yet managed decent wins while playing at socialtournaments. Too many games like this out there these days, they must come up with something new soon? Of this game, the smiling adventurer is a change, almost out of place he is? Too happy looking? Whatever, i will play this likely when i encounter...

Even though the idea and theme are played out, it's actually great to see a slot game from Pragmatic Play with an RTP this good. And it does return your money really well and does have potential for huge wins. Those facts alone make this an awesome game. I can understand why people might be tired of these kinds of slots...

I can understand why people might be tired of these kinds of slots already but this is a great option if you want to play an ancient egypt book type of game.
