Book of Dead GO Collect

Book of Dead GO Collect is a Play’n GO slot released on February 26, 2026, rebuilding the original 2016 Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead around the studio’s GO Collect hold-and-win format. The 5×3, 10-payline grid and the dual wild-and-scatter Tomb symbol are carried over unchanged, and the stated theoretical RTP holds at 96.21%, but the win cap doubles from the original’s 5,000x to 10,000x the bet, with stakes running from 0.10 to 50.

The base game plays identically to the 2016 version: the Tomb substitutes for any symbol and pays anywhere on the reels, 3, 4, or 5 landing pay 2x, 20x, or 200x the bet and trigger free spins. What changes is everything layered on top of ordinary spins, where Gold Stater badges now attach to paying symbols and feed a new collection meter.

The Treasure Vault

Collected Gold Staters raise the chance of triggering the Treasure Vault, a hold-and-respin bonus that opens with 3 respins on an emptied layout where only Staters can land. Regular Staters pay 1x to 5x the bet instantly, while four named tiers, Mini at 10x, Minor at 20x, Major at 100x, and Grand at 500x the bet, pay considerably more. Any new Stater landing resets the respin count back to 3, and the round ends once 3 respins pass without a new one, with every collected value summed and multiplied by the stake.

Free Spins and Treasure Gamble

The original’s free spins survive intact: 3 or more Tomb scatters award 10 free spins with one random symbol chosen to expand and cover its reel, and the round can now retrigger up to a total of 80 spins. A new optional Treasure Gamble lets a Vault win be doubled across up to 4 consecutive rounds by landing more Brilliant Staters than Broken ones, with a majority of Broken Staters forfeiting the win.

Book of Dead GO Collect Review

GO Collect is the least structurally adventurous of the Book of Dead spin-offs, keeping the exact base game and free spins of the 2016 original and adding a fairly conventional hold-and-win layer rather than a new grid or bonus concept. That makes it an easy comparison against Tome of Dead, which took the opposite approach of rebuilding the base game around a cluster grid while keeping the Egyptian setting.

The doubled win cap and tiered Stater jackpots give the familiar formula a genuine reason to exist for players who already know the original by heart, even if the Treasure Vault itself covers ground the genre has seen many times before. What the game does not attempt is any change to the pacing that made the 2016 original so widely copied: the Tomb symbol still triggers on the same 3-scatter threshold, the free spins still hand out one expanding symbol per round, and nothing about the base game’s rhythm has been touched. The entire GO Collect layer sits alongside that formula rather than inside it, which means players who never trigger the Vault are, in effect, playing the original Book of Dead with a higher ceiling attached.
