Book of Ra Magic Review
Book of Ra Magic keeps the Book of Ra Deluxe paytable and adds one thing: every retrigger in the free games picks another expanding symbol, up to 9 of them.
About the game
If you know Book of Ra Deluxe, you know the base game here. Same 10 lines, same symbols, same book. The difference is in the free games.
Book of Ra Magic Features
Free games
3 or more books give you 10 free games with one special expanding symbol, chosen at random. It expands to cover its reel and pays on any position on the played lines.
More expanding symbols
Each time 3 more books land in the free games, the round is retriggered and one more special symbol is added. You can end up with up to 9 expanding symbols at once, which means almost every symbol can grow over whole reels.

RTP and volatility
The demo doesn't show an RTP and catalogues don't give a clear figure for this version. It plays as a high-volatility game: the extra expanding symbols only matter if you retrigger.
