Book of Ra Versions
There are more than ten Book of Ra games. Online, four matter most: Classic (2005), deluxe (2008), deluxe 6 with an optional sixth reel, and Magic with several expanding symbols. Win Ways, jackpot and bingo editions follow, each with its own maths. In US lobbies, a “Book of …” title is more often a clone from another studio than any of these.

Book of Ra vs. US “book” clones
Many US casinos carry book-themed slots from other studios, such as Play’n GO’s Book of Dead. They share the idea — a book that is wild and scatter, free games with an expanding symbol — but not the paytable or the RTP. Check the provider name in the game info; only Novomatic or Greentube means Book of Ra.
