Every documented RTP version
Each published version, with its theoretical cost and where the figure comes from. Cost is expected loss over the long run — not a session outcome.

House edge = 100% − RTP. Theoretical cost = amount wagered × house edge. “Diff vs best” is the extra expected cost against the highest published version.
What the version choice costs you
Same reels, same art, same max win — only the maths changes. Here is the 96.21% version against the 84.18% version.
Over $10,000 wagered, the lowest published version is expected to cost about $1,203 more than the highest — a 12.03-point swing in house edge for the identical game.

Why the RTP version matters
RTP is the single biggest lever on what a slot costs to play — and on a configurable game, the casino, not the studio, picks it.
Book of Dead carries Play'n GO’s name and identical artwork whichever version a casino licenses, but the published return can differ by whole percentage points. That difference is invisible in the lobby: the game looks the same, plays the same, and pays the advertised max win the same way. The only tell is the return-to-player line in the in-game rules.
At 96.21% the house keeps 3.79% of long-run turnover; at 84.18% it keeps 15.82%. That is why we surface every version we can document rather than a single number — the figure a lobby shows you is the one worth checking before you play, not after.
How the game works
The documented mechanics, from the game's own paytable and rules screen.
A 5×3 grid running 10 lines. Wins pay left to right on the published paylines.
Play'n GO rates it high volatility — expect longer gaps between bigger hits.
The advertised ceiling is 5,000× your stake — a theoretical maximum, reached rarely.

Where each figure comes from
Per key field: the source, the confidence, and when we last checked. We flag anything unverified instead of presenting it as certified.
Our read on the numbers
At its default 96.21%, Book of Dead sits 0.05 points below the 96.26% average of the 380 Play'n GO titles we track, and it beats 55.5% of the 2,808-slot database. That makes the default version an ordinary-to-fair return for the studio, but the story is the spread.
The number that should decide where you play is the $1,203 gap per $10,000 between the highest and lowest published versions. A casino running the 84.18% build isn’t offering the same game on better-looking terms — it’s the same game costing 12.03 points more. Confirm the RTP in the paytable before you commit a bankroll.
