Book of Ra™ Deluxe — Buy Bonus is an exciting video slot game crafted by Greentube (NOVOMATIC), inspired by the classic Book‑of mechanic. This game retains the traditional structure of the Deluxe edition while introducing an optional Bonus Buy feature, allowing players to jump straight into the Free Games round based on market and operator settings.
Game Overview
The game features a standard 5×3 reel layout with 10 fixed paylines, rewarding winning combinations from left to right on adjacent reels. The Book of Ra symbol is pivotal, serving as both Wild and Scatter, and unlocking the Free Games feature with an expanding special symbol.
Book of Ra™ Deluxe — Buy Bonus is characterized by high volatility. The potential for wins is primarily found in the Free Games mode, where a randomly selected symbol expands to cover entire reels and pays across all active paylines.

Free Games with Expanding Symbol
The Free Games bonus is activated by landing three or more Book of Ra symbols anywhere on the reels. Players are awarded ten Free Games, and one regular symbol is randomly chosen as the Special Expanding Symbol for the entire bonus round.
Whenever the selected symbol forms a winning combination, all instances expand to cover their reels and pay on every active payline. Additional Free Games are retriggered when three or more Book symbols appear again, granting ten extra spins while maintaining the same expanding symbol.
Buy Bonus Feature
Where permitted, the Buy Bonus option allows players to instantly access the Free Games mode without waiting for Scatter symbols. This version may operate under a different RTP configuration compared to the standard Deluxe build.
Gamble Feature
After a successful win, players can choose to activate a gamble feature to try to double their payout by predicting a red or black card. The availability of this feature varies based on jurisdiction and operator rules.
