A classic field without a growing feature meter

BGaming lists April 2, 2016 as the release date. The game places familiar Egyptian imagery on a five-reel field with nine paylines. Its appeal is the relative simplicity of reading ordinary wins and recognizing the special symbol, rather than managing several simultaneous collection features.

According to the linked rules, matching symbols form adjacent combinations from left to right. Different winning paylines are added together, while only the highest combination pays on the same line. Awards use the bet per line, so a paytable figure should not automatically be read as a multiplier of the total stake.

The scarab has two jobs

The official profile describes the scarab as both Wild and Scatter; the linked March 2026 rules call it the Bonus symbol. It substitutes in regular combinations and also opens the Free Spins round when enough symbols land. Those two functions explain why a screen containing scarabs can matter beyond a single line award.

Three, four or five Bonus symbols award 11, 22 or 33 Free Spins respectively. The same counts during the feature retrigger the corresponding number of spins. The profile has awkward wording about reel positions, so the count-based instructions in the linked rules are the useful reference; do not infer a restriction that makes four or five symbols impossible. The two gameplay images show a regular field and an active Free Spins screen.

What the published figures can tell you

BGaming publishes 97.13% RTP, medium-high volatility and a maximum multiplier of 1,939x. The current rules leave the runtime maximum and RTP values as configuration placeholders. The profile supplies the published figures, while the live game information remains the place to confirm the version actually offered. Neither the maximum nor the theoretical return predicts a short session.

Do not import features from other games merely because their names also contain Book. The linked rules here describe substitution and retriggerable Free Spins; they do not establish the randomly selected expanding-symbol feature associated with some other book slots. That absence changes the rhythm: the bonus adds spins under this game's own paytable rather than promising a familiar mechanic from a different title.

For an initial demo, compare the total stake against the line stake, find the special symbol in the paytable and watch how the remaining Free Spins counter changes after a retrigger. Keep the cost of repeated ordinary spins in view instead of treating a long bonus as inevitable.

Book of Pyramids is a useful choice for readers who prefer a small feature set and recognizable reel presentation. Its limitation is equally clear: it offers less evolving feature complexity than contemporary multi-bonus slots. The official art and screenshots here describe the actual game; they do not demonstrate a typical payout or establish a winning strategy.
