Meet Novomatic

Who they are

We recognize Novomatic as the Austrian studio behind Book of Ra, shaping slot play on land and online. Founded in 1980 and headquartered in Gumpoldskirchen, the group operates in more than 50 countries and owns the digital subsidiary Greentube. Their long experience made the series a benchmark for theme, math, and pacing. Official portals publish certified paytables, game sheets, and brand assets that keep the franchise authentic for Canadian players.

Innovation

We value their simple design and smart mechanics: the Book symbol acts as Wild and Scatter, 10 free spins trigger with a randomly chosen expanding symbol, and an optional Gamble card game can double wins. Classics move to lightweight HTML5, so Book of Ra Demo loads in under two seconds on most 4G connections. Updated visuals, layered ambience, and precise reel stops preserve the arcade feel while meeting modern standards.

Compliance in Canada

We put reliability first. Titles are audited by GLI and TÜV Rheinland, confirming RNG integrity. In Canada, certified operators hold provincial licences under respective gaming regulations and provide English and French-language lobbies, responsible gaming tools, and player protection measures. Following official sources ensures a genuine, legally compliant Book of Ra experience.

Explore Book of Ra Deluxe

What’s new

Book of Ra Deluxe refines the 2005 classic while keeping its core feel. We get crisper 3D symbols, a 16:9 layout that fits modern monitors, and remastered ambient music that strengthens the tomb raiding mood.

Core stats

  • Reels/rows: 5 × 3
  • Fixed paylines: 10, one more than the original’s 9
  • RTP: 95.03%
  • Volatility: High
  • Max win: 5,000 × stake for five Explorer symbols
  • Demo bets: $0.15 to $135 per spin

Three or more Books award 10 free games. Before they start, one symbol is randomly picked to expand and cover reels, paying on any line. The Book acts as both wild and scatter. The optional red or black gamble can double winnings up to $190,000 in the real money version.

Why we host it

On our Canadian facing site we stream the certified Novomatic HTML5 build. You can switch between Classic and Deluxe in the same lobby. Quick select stake buttons, a turbo toggle, and multilingual paytables keep sessions smooth for newcomers and returning players.

Master Winning Strategies

Bankroll basics

We start each session with a clear cap, for example $100 CAD, and spread it across at least 100 spins so the average stake sits near 1% of the bankroll. We activate every line — 9 on the original Book of Ra and 10 on Book of Ra Deluxe — at the minimum coin size ($0.01–$0.05 CAD) to cover all reel positions. We also set a 50% stop loss and a 30% profit cash out to lock wins and avoid chasing.

Read the volatility

Book of Ra is a high variance game, around 8/10. In demo mode the free spin rounds generally appear once every 130–150 spins. During cold streaks we drop to the lowest table stake, then restore our base bet only after triggering the 10 free spins feature or hitting a single payout worth at least 20x the stake. This rhythm helps the bankroll last long enough to catch the bonus bursts.

Smart decisions

  • Use the red/black card gamble only on payouts below 5x stake; with a fixed 50% chance, larger wins are better banked.
  • Run a 30 minute session timer to review balance and mindset; short breaks curb impulsive betting.
  • When moving from demo to real money on the licensed Novomatic site, mirror the same stake size and line setup to keep the expected hit frequency and reduce variance shocks.

Understand Game Features

On our official site, we break down the mechanics that power Book of Ra Demo. This free version mirrors the original 5-reel, 9-payline Novomatic slot released in 2005. Every feature behaves exactly as it does with real money and preserves the mystic Egyptian setting.

The Book symbol

The Book icon acts as both Wild and Scatter. As a Wild, it substitutes for any symbol to complete wins on active lines. As a Scatter, landing 3, 4, or 5 Books anywhere pays 2×, 20×, or 200× your total stake and triggers 10 free spins.

Expanding symbols

Before free spins begin, we assign one regular symbol (not the Book) as a special expanding icon. When 2–5 of these land during the round, they stretch vertically to cover entire reels and pay on all 9 lines, even when not adjacent, unlocking wins up to 5,000×.

Free spins

Free spins play at the triggering bet, can be retriggered indefinitely with another 3+ Book scatters, and keep the initially chosen expanding symbol active.

Gamble option

After any base-game or feature win, we offer a card gamble. Guess red or black to double the prize; a wrong pick loses it. Up to five gambles are allowed, capped at $19,000 CAD.

Access Bonuses

Welcome offers

Novomatic doesn’t operate a proprietary real-money platform, so Book of Ra bonuses are provided by Canadian-licensed online casinos that host the game. On our official site, we highlight typical deals such as a 100% first-deposit match up to $200 CAD plus 50 free spins on Book of Ra Deluxe. Wagering is usually 30–35× the bonus and must be completed within 30 days. Always review game weighting before you play—Book of Ra usually counts 100%, while table games contribute less or 0%.

Free spins and promos

Ongoing promos often add 10–25 free spins to Book of Ra or its sequels each week when we deposit at least $20 CAD or complete mission-style tasks. Free-spin winnings are typically credited as bonus funds, capped at $100 CAD and subject to 20× wagering. In demo mode, extended play credits let us try the expanding symbol feature without limits, but they carry no cash value and no wagering requirements.

How to claim

  1. Create an account at a Canadian-licensed casino featuring Novomatic titles.
  2. Verify identity KYC and opt in to the chosen promotion.
  3. Enter the bonus code during or after deposit if required.
  4. Open Book of Ra to activate bonus cash or spins automatically.

Learn RTP and Volatility

RTP in plain terms

Return to Player shows the share of stakes a slot is expected to pay back over a very long time. Online versions of Book of Ra sit close to 95 percent, with small shifts by title and market:

  • Book of Ra Classic – 95.10%
  • Book of Ra Deluxe – 95.03%
  • Book of Ra 6 Reels – 95.02%

Our demo uses the same Novomatic math as the real money games, so the long run feels the same. RTP is an average across millions of spins, not a promise for one night or one balance.

Volatility and risk

Book of Ra is high volatility, around 5 out of 5 on Novomatic's scale. Wins land less often but can jump in size, especially during 10 free spins with a random expanding symbol. Bankroll swings can be sharp. The demo helps us see if that pace fits our comfort.

Putting it to work

We choose stakes that survive dry spells, set stop loss and win goals, and cut sessions when variance bites. In some jurisdictions each spin must last at least 5 seconds and single stakes are capped at $1 CAD. Always check the operator info panel for current limits and live RTP.
