Pick this game if you want an Egyptian theme on a 6x4 grid, where wins form from left to right rather than along fixed lines. The base game opens 729 ways for symbols to line up, and three matching symbols are the fewest that pay. Symbols include the Golden Pharaoh, Cleopatra and the Heart of Ra. The Book of Golden Sands symbol is the scatter on all reels.
Choose this for bonus rounds that keep going. Three or more book symbols start 10 free spins and choose one special expanding symbol. When three or more special symbols land on different reels after a spin, it grows to fill its reel. Retriggers have no limit. Wilds on reels 2 to 6 carry a random 2x or 3x multiplier, in free spins too.

See what one round costs, how wins form and where to stop before the first spin.
Pick a bet from A$0.20 up to A$100 before the first spin. Every win scales with that bet, so A$1 and A$5 are used as examples here.
A win needs at least three matching symbols on reels that touch from the left. The grid has 729 ways, so a single symbol can be counted along several paths.
Wilds on reels two to six land with a random 2x or 3x multiplier. The Book Scatter can appear on any reel and opens the bonus.
Landing three or more Book Scatters triggers 10 Free Spins. The game then picks one random symbol as the Special Expanding Symbol, and the feature can be retriggered with no limit.
Set your bet and stop point before the first spin. No one can know a session result in advance. Need help? Call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.
Three scatters landed
Useful once you see the scatters, or before you decide how to reach the bonus.
Three or more scatters start 10 free spins with one random special symbol. After each spin, that symbol expands when three or more land on different reels. Expansions grow up to 10 per reel. Wins pay by expanded ways, up to 150 on all 6 reels. Retriggers have no limit.
Three scatters landed10 free spins
A single purchase costs 100 times the total bet and gives 10 free spins with an expanding symbol selected. The purchase is instant, and the expanding symbol is picked at random. Free spins then follow the rules of the Free Spins mode.

Base game runs on a 6x4 grid with 729 ways, paying left to right. WILD symbols on reels 2 to 6 carry a random 2x or 3x multiplier. Scatter symbols, the book, appear on all reels. Free spins start once three scatters land.

Mode guide
Most people ask whether trying the game will take money from their account.
Pick the demo to learn the grid: it needs no money and pays nothing. Move to the real game with a Casiny Casino account at 18 or older.
Play for realChoose your bet with the idea that the bonus round may not come at all. How often the Free Spins trigger is not known in advance, and nothing on this page or in the game can tell you when the next session will bring it. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP version you play.
Open the game rules before you spin, because they are the only place that shows which RTP version is running. Read them before you commit a bigger bet, then match the version you see there with the figures in the table on this page.
Treat the maximum win as a ceiling that is reached very rarely, not as a result to expect. Book of Golden Sands has high volatility, so a bet sized to your budget matters more than any top figure on the page.

Know the Rules
Open this when you are about to load the reels and want the basics.
Pick your bet knowing that Book of Golden Sands has high volatility. Wins come in uneven swings, and long stretches with small or no wins can run before a bigger one. No one can tell in advance when that bigger win will land.
Choose your stake first, because the top prize is a multiple of it. The maximum win is x10,000 your bet: A$50,000 at A$5 and A$1,000,000 at the A$100 limit. Smaller bets carry smaller top prizes, so check the figure for the bet you pick.
Start with the A$0.20 minimum bet and learn the 6x4 grid, the 729 ways and the Expanding Symbols before you raise your stake. The paytable is shown for A$1, so compare payouts at that bet.
Check which RTP version you are playing before you start. RTP is the average return over a large number of spins, so it does not predict what one session will pay back. Compare the versions in the table, and remember the rate says nothing about when a win arrives.
