Book of Ra Magic
Novomatic took the book pokie and gave it a wider stage: more reels in play, expanding symbols across all of them, and a magic re-trigger that can keep the free games running. Open it in our lobby in play credits or AUD.
Same book, more reels in motion
If Book of Ra Deluxe is the original cabinet, Magic is what Novomatic built once players wanted more of it on screen at once. The multi-reel layout means several reel sets are in play together rather than a single five by three window, so when the expanding symbol does its work it has considerably more canvas to cover. The theme and symbol set are familiar on purpose: explorer, pharaoh, scarab, card ranks, and the book that unlocks everything.
It sits in our pokies lobby under Novomatic, next to the Deluxe edition, and a lot of our players keep both open in tabs. If you have never played a book game, start on the Deluxe tile where there is less happening, then come back here once the rhythm of hunting for books makes sense to you.
Browse the lobbyThe magic re-trigger is the whole point
Book games live and die on their free games, and the Magic edition's answer is a re-trigger. In the Deluxe build a round of free games is a fixed allowance that runs out. Here the round can extend itself while you are inside it, which changes the feel entirely: a round that started small can keep going, and the expanding symbol gets more chances to do something across more reels than the classic ever had.
Everything else works the way the format always has. The book is both the scatter and the key. Land enough of them and the game selects one symbol to become special for the round, and from then on that symbol pays from scattered positions rather than along a line, expanding to fill reels when enough of it lands. In the base game, by contrast, the same symbol is just another picture.
Read the info panel before your first real spin
There are numbers we will not print on this page, and that is deliberate
- The return to player. We do not publish a percentage for this title here. The figure that applies to the build you are playing is shown in the game's own info panel, so open it from the menu and read it there first.
- The maximum win. Same story: the ceiling for this edition is listed in the paytable rather than on our page. We would rather point you at the game than quote a number we cannot stand behind.
- The book count that triggers free games. Printed on the info screen, along with how the magic re-trigger extends a round that is already running.
- Line and symbol values at your stake. The paytable updates with your bet, so set your stake first and then look, otherwise you are reading someone else's numbers.
High volatility, and how to keep a session sane
Our tile marks this one high volatility, which is standard for the format. The base game is a search party: most spins pay nothing much, and the balance drifts down while you wait for books. Then a free games round lands, the re-trigger fires, and the session changes shape in under a minute. That shape is why a book pokie can be exhilarating and also why it empties a small balance quickly if you play it at a stake meant for a calmer game.
If you are 18 or over and playing from Australia, everything here runs in AUD, so there is no conversion to work out mid session. Our live chat is open around the clock if you need a limit set, a payout chased or a question about a round answered, and the help centre has the quick answers already written down.
Demo credits, real money and the welcome offer
The tile gives you a demo option, and for an unfamiliar build that is where to begin. Play credits behave exactly like the real game minus the money: nothing you accumulate is withdrawable, and the balance resets on reload. Spend ten minutes there and you will know whether the multi-reel layout suits you better than the classic one.
Real play starts from A$20 with PayID, POLi, Visa or Mastercard, or A$10 with a Neosurf voucher, with Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin also accepted. We charge no deposit fee. Crypto payouts begin at A$30 and are typically same day, often inside two hours, while bank transfers from A$50 take 1 to 3 business days. A single identity check, photo ID and proof of address, is completed before your first withdrawal leaves.
New accounts get the welcome package automatically, no promo code anywhere. The first deposit is matched 100% to A$3,000 with 100 free spins, the second 150% to A$2,500, the third 200% to A$2,000, for up to A$7,500 and 200 spins in total. Bonus funds need 35x wagering inside 30 days, pokies like this one count 100% toward that while table and live games count 10% or less, and your maximum bet is A$7.50 while a bonus is in play. Full conditions live on the bonus page.
A$7,500 and 200 free spins across three deposits
Your match applies the moment the deposit lands, from A$20 with PayID or POLi. Pokies clear the wagering at full weight and the spins drip 20 a day for 10 days.

Questions about Book of Ra Magic
What is the RTP of Book of Ra Magic?
We do not publish a figure for this title on the site. The return that applies to the build in our lobby is shown in the game's own info panel, which you can open before you stake anything.
What does the magic re-trigger do?
It allows a free games round to extend itself while you are inside it, rather than simply running out. The conditions are described on the game's info screen.
How is it different from Book of Ra Deluxe?
Magic uses a multi-reel layout, so more reel sets are live at once and an expanding symbol has more to cover. Deluxe is the classic 5 reel, 10 line build with a published 95.10% RTP.
What is the biggest win possible?
The ceiling for this edition is listed in the paytable rather than here. We point you at the game's own numbers instead of quoting one we cannot verify for you.
Can I play it on my phone?
Yes. VegasNow runs as a mobile web app with nothing to install, so the game streams in your browser. Our app page explains how to pin the lobby to your home screen.
Does it contribute to bonus wagering?
Yes, at 100%, the full pokie weighting against the 35x requirement. Keep every bet at or under A$7.50 while bonus funds are active or you risk the bonus.
