Theme & Design
Book of Gold: Classic keeps its symbol set close to Playson's earlier Egyptian slots. A Pharaoh, the Falcon of Horus, and a shared Eye of Horus / Ankh icon appear alongside the golden Book of Gold Scatter. Card values A, K, Q, J, and 10 round out the paytable as the low-tier symbols.
Special Expanding Symbol
Before each Free Spins round begins, Book of Gold: Classic randomly selects one regular symbol, excluding the Scatter, as the Special Expanding Symbol. The pick happens once and stays locked until the round ends.
Whenever the chosen symbol lands as part of a winning combination, it expands to fill the entire reel height. The expanded win pays independently of the 10 fixed paylines and is added to line wins.
Free Spins & Book of Gold Scatter
Three or more Book of Gold Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels trigger 10 Free Spins in the base game. Landing three or more Scatters again during the Free Spins round retriggers another 10 spins.
The total number of Free Spins rounds available is capped at 50, regardless of how many retriggers occur. During Free Spins, the Book of Gold Scatter substitutes for every regular symbol except the Special Expanding Symbol. Its own payouts are still credited separately from the 10 paylines.

RTP & Win Potential
Book of Gold: Classic runs at a 95.94% RTP with high volatility. Five Pharaohs pay 500x, the top line win in the paytable.
The 5,000x max win is realistic mainly through a long Free Spins round. Several retriggers keep the Special Expanding Symbol active, and each expansion adds to the payout total before the 50-round cap is hit.

FAQ
The game randomly picks one regular symbol, excluding the Scatter, right before the Free Spins round starts. That symbol stays locked as the Special Expanding Symbol for every spin in the round.
Free Spins rounds are capped at 50 in total. Retriggers can extend a session toward that limit, but no further rounds are awarded once it is reached.
Landing 3 or more Book of Gold Scatter symbols during the Free Spins round retriggers another 10 spins. The Special Expanding Symbol chosen for the round stays the same through the retrigger.
No. Both the Book of Gold Scatter and the Special Expanding Symbol pay independently of the 10 fixed paylines. Their payouts are calculated separately and added to line wins.
The maximum win is 5,000x the stake. It is reached most often through an extended Free Spins round with several retriggers. Repeated Special Expanding Symbol hits stack up before the 50-round cap ends the session.
Yes, the 95.94% RTP applies to both modes. Only real-money play carries actual payouts, based on whichever stake is chosen from the $0.20–$100.00 range.
