How to Play the Book of Dino Deluxe Free Play Version

Playing the Book of Dino Deluxe free play version is straightforward. The game operates on a 5-reel, 3-row grid with 10 fixed paylines.

First, you set your bet. The images show a Total Bet of 200 coins, but the coin system (1 coin = 0.01€) means this is a 2.00€ spin. The minimum bet is 10 coins (0.10€), and the maximum is 10,000 coins (100€), offering a wide range for testing. After setting your bet, you can press the spin button. Wins are formed by landing 2-3 matching symbols (depending on the symbol) from left to right.

What Are the Key Symbols and Payouts?

The paytable is the key to the game's volatility. The low-pay symbols are the card ranks 10, J, Q, K, and A. The high-pay symbols are the Golden T-Rex (or possibly a Velociraptor), the T-Rex, and the main Adventurer symbol.

Like most Book of themed slots, including classics like Lord of the Ocean, the Adventurer is the high-pay symbol you want to see. Landing five of him on a payline is the base game jackpot. The Book of Dino symbol is the most important: it's the Wild (substituting for all other symbols) and the Scatter. Landing 3, 4, or 5 Books not only triggers the bonus but also pays a direct coin win.

What Triggers the Free Spins in Book of Dino Deluxe?

The main bonus round is triggered by landing 3 or more Book (Wild/Scatter) symbols anywhere on the reels during a single spin.

This awards 10 Free Spins. Before the spins begin, the game randomly selects one symbol from the paytable (except the Book) to become the Special Expanding Symbol. During the free spins, if this symbol lands, it will first pay out any standard line wins. Then, the special symbol expands to cover its entire reel. These expanded symbols pay on all 10 paylines, even if they are not on adjacent reels. This is the classic mechanic that creates the massive win potential.

The ‘Deluxe' Difference: Multiple Expanding Symbols

Here is the crucial mechanic that separates the Book of Dino Deluxe slot from classics like Book of Dead. If you land 3 or more Book symbols during the free spins, you get two things: 10 additional free spins, and the game selects a second Special Expanding Symbol.

This can repeat. You can, in theory, turn all nine regular symbols into special expanders. This mechanic is much closer to the one found in the Legacy of Dead slot, and it fundamentally changes the bonus round from a one-shot event to a progressively more powerful feature.

Vlad Hvalov's Expert Tip:

When you see a “Book” slot with progressive expanding symbols, the entire strategy shifts. In the demo, I honestly test the retrigger potential. Getting just one retrigger, giving you a high-pay (like the Adventurer) and a low-pay (like a ‘Q') symbol, creates a screen-flooding potential that a single-symbol ‘Book' game just can't match.

Player Choice: Buy Feature vs. Increase Feature Chance

The Book of Dino Deluxe demo offers two ways to bypass the base game grind.

1. Increase Feature Chance: This is an ante bet. By turning it ‘ON', your Total Bet increases (e.g., from 200 to 300 coins). This adds more Scatter symbols to the reel strips, theoretically doubling your chance of landing the 3 Books needed for the bonus. It's a good middle-ground for players who want more action without the full cost of a bonus buy.
2. Buy Feature Games: This is the direct route. For a fixed multiplier of your base bet, you can instantly purchase and trigger the 10 Free Spins with its randomly selected expanding symbol. This is a common feature in modern, high-volatility games like Wanted Dead or a Wild and Money Train 3.

Using the demo version on Respinix is the perfect way to test which of these features provides better value or a more enjoyable play style for you.

What is the Book of Dino Deluxe Gamble Feature?

The Gamble Feature (called Card Risk in the info screen) is a classic “double or nothing” game.

The game states the probability of winning is 50% and the RTP for the gamble feature is 100%. This is a true, fair coin-flip. You can gamble for a maximum of 10 rounds, or until your win reaches 100,000 coins. It's unavailable for any single win over 50,000 coins.

What is the Volatility and Max Win in Book of Dino Deluxe?

Book of Dino Deluxe is a High Volatility slot. This is not stated but is an inherent property of the ‘Book of' mechanic.

The entire mathematical model is built on surviving the base game to hit a massive payout in the Free Spins. The expanding symbols, especially when they pay on non-adjacent lines, are what create this volatility. The game's Max Win is estimated to be in the 5,000x bet range, which is standard for this slot type. The game's 5×3, 10-line structure is classic, but the high-volatility engine means you should expect long periods of small wins or no wins, followed by sudden, large payouts from the bonus.

The Mathematical Paradox of the “Book”

Here’s the thing about ‘Book' games, and it's something I see people misunderstand. They chase the Adventurer. They get 10 spins, get the ‘J' symbol, and they sigh and spin it out. But the math is strange. The potential of the Adventurer is 5,000x (a full screen), but the frequency of that is almost zero.

The real money, the consistent big wins? They often come from the lower symbols. Getting the ‘Q' or ‘J' as your expander. Why? Because you only need 3 of them to trigger an expansion, and they appear constantly. A full screen of ‘Q's is much, much more common than a full screen of Adventurers, and it still pays a massive 100x. The paradox is that the “bad” symbols are often your best friends for building a balance. This game, with its multiple expanding symbols, just amplifies this.

The Counter-Argument: Is the ‘Deluxe' Feature Overrated?

The strongest argument against Book of Dino Deluxe is that it's still, at its core, another “Book of” clone. The ‘Deluxe' / ‘Unlimited' mechanic of adding more expanding symbols is a direct copy of the one Play'n GO perfected in Legacy of Dead.

So, if you already know Legacy of Dead, what's the point? The Swintt version's primary distinction is the combination of that mechanic with the “Increase Feature Chance” ante bet. For some players, this is just “paying more for the same game.” The high volatility can be brutal, and if you buy the feature and get a low-pay symbol that doesn't retrigger, the cost can feel… excessive. It's not a new invention, but rather a hybrid of other successful features.

Prehistoric Secrets: Little-Known Facts

1. The “Unlimited” DNA: This slot is part of Swintt's “Premium” line, which often features “Unlimited” versions (like Seven Books Unlimited). “Deluxe” appears to be the new branding for this mechanic, which allows for the progressive addition of up to 9 expanding symbols.
2. Gamble RTP Truth: The game's info screen explicitly states the RTP for the gamble feature is 100%. This is rare and confirms it's a statistically fair 50/50 bet, not a weighted one.
3. Autoplay Disables Features: This forces players to choose: convenience (Autoplay) or a 100% RTP doubling feature (Risk).
4. Feature Chance Bet: This implies a significant, likely double, increase in Scatter frequency, similar to ante bets in many Pragmatic Play slots.

What Other Slots Are Like Book of Dino Deluxe?

The Respinix library of free online slots has several games that hit the same notes.

• Legacy of Dead: This Egyptian-themed Play'n GO slot is the most direct comparison. It features the exact same mechanic of 10 free spins where retriggers add a new special expanding symbol.
• Book of Dead: The classic ‘Book of' game that started it all. Play this to see the original, single-symbol mechanic that Book of Dino Deluxe builds upon.
• Pirots 2: If the Dinosaur theme is what you enjoyed, this ELK Studios game provides a completely different (and fantastic) CollectR mechanic in a prehistoric world.
• Zeus vs Hades Gods of War: For players who like the player-choice “ante bet” aspect and high volatility, this Pragmatic Play mythology slot is a perfect fit, letting you choose your own volatility level.

Vlad Hvalov's Expert Tip:

My advice for this demo? Ignore the ‘Buy Feature' at first. Turn on the ‘Increase Feature Chance' and play 100 spins. Then, turn it off and play 100 spins at the normal bet. This is the only way to feel if that 50% extra cost is worth it. For me, it almost always is, as the base game in high-volatility slots is just a waiting room.

Final Verdict on the Book of Dino Deluxe Demo

So, is Book of Dino Deluxe worth your time? I think so.

Swintt hasn't reinvented the wheel, but they've built a very good one. They've taken the best progressive bonus mechanic from Legacy of Dead, added the modern ante-bet and bonus-buy features, and wrapped it in a clean Dinosaur theme. It's a high-volatility beast aimed squarely at players who understand the “Book of” potential and want more control over how they chase it.

The ability to test the “Increase Feature Chance” and the “Buy Feature” in the Book of Dino Deluxe demo is its single greatest strength. It lets you find your preferred way to hunt for that full screen of Adventurers without risking a single cent. It’s a solid, tactical, and high-potential “Book” slot that earns its “Deluxe” title.
