Book of Pyramids (BGaming) RTP review: 97.13% (configurable)
What 97.13% RTP means on Book of Pyramids
Book of Pyramids carries a published RTP of 97.13%, a theoretical house edge of roughly 2.87% over the long run. Because BGaming ships this game in multiple RTP builds, that edge only holds where a casino licenses the top version; a lower build quietly raises the edge against you, which is exactly why we flag configurable titles instead of quoting the headline unqualified. As always, RTP is a long-run average over millions of spins, not a per-session promise: the edge is real and permanent, and a high RTP never turns a slot into a reliable source of income.
Volatility, max win & features
Volatility is rated medium-high (3/5). That sits mid-range — neither a relentless grinder nor a feast-or-famine title. The top prize is capped at 1,939x your stake, and the headline features are expanding special symbol, free spins, retrigger, wild/scatter scarab.
What to know before you play Book of Pyramids
- Check the RTP build. BGaming licenses Book of Pyramids at 97.13% / 96.21% / 96.18% / 96% / 95.97% — open the in-game "i" screen and confirm you're on 97.13% before you commit a bankroll.
- Mid-variance. Expect a mix of small wins and longer gaps; the 1,939x max sits behind the bonus round.
- High RTP is not profit. 97.13% still leaves a 2.87% long-run house edge; it lowers the cost of play, it never flips the odds in your favour.

Our verdict on Book of Pyramids
Skip if: your casino only offers a lower-RTP build of this game
Book of Pyramids is BGaming's take on the classic expanding-symbol Egyptian book formula and one of the studio's oldest crypto-casino staples. BGaming's game page lists a strong 97.13% default, but this is a heavily configurable title — documented operator builds run at 96.21%, 96.18%, 96% and 95.97%, so the version you actually play at a given casino can be a full point lower than the headline. It plays like a tighter, 9-payline Book of Dead: three scarab scatters award 11, 22 or 33 free spins with one expanding special symbol and retriggers. The draw for crypto players is BGaming's provably-fair layer — each round's outcome is hashed and client-seed-verifiable via SHA-256. Medium-high volatility with a modest 1,939x cap makes it a steadier book slot than most; good for players who want the mechanic with a high headline RTP, provided they confirm the live build.
