On six reels, each showing between one and seven symbols, the Megaways grid offers up to 117,649 ways to win. Wins pay from left to right, starting at reel 1, and a win needs at least 3 matching symbols. The adventure, Egyptian and hunting theme brings explorer John Hunter, the golden Pharaoh mask, a Bastet cat statue, a scarab beetle and the cards A, K, Q, J and 10.
Three or more Book of Tut SCATTER symbols start 10 free spins. One paying symbol is then picked at random as the Special Expanding Symbol for the whole round, and each spin it fills the affected reels and pays anywhere. Retriggers add 10 more spins when three or more SCATTER symbols land. Special reels with different weightings run during the feature.
Buy Free Spins starts the bonus round at once for 100 times the total bet, which is A$1,000 at the top example bet of A$10.

The most common worry is misreading a Free Spins or win screen at a glance.
Book of Tut Megaways
Players worry most about what a round costs before the reels stop.
Reels start turning once you choose a bet between A$0.20 and A$300. The paytable is shown at A$0.20, and each payout is a multiple of the bet you place.
Wins are paid left to right from reel 1. The grid has six reels, each 1 to 7 symbols tall, and offers up to 117,649 ways to win.
At random spins a Special Expanding Symbol fills each reel it lands on after wins are evaluated. Its paying symbol is drawn at random, and it pays anywhere left to right.
Three or more SCATTER symbols anywhere on the reels start 10 free spins. Before the round starts, one paying symbol is drawn as the Special Expanding Symbol for the whole round.
Reels spin at your total bet, so set your spending limit before the first spin. Results cannot be known in advance, and the National Gambling Helpline is 1800 858 858.

3+ SCATTER (Book of Tut) symbols anywhere on the reels trigger 10 free spins. One paying symbol is picked at random as the Special Expanding Symbol. It expands to fill the reels it lands on and pays anywhere. Another 3+ SCATTER during the round adds 10 more spins.

More SCATTER (Book of Tut) symbols land on the reels when Ante Bet is active, which raises the chance of Free Spins. The stake is 25x total bet against 20x for normal play. While Ante Bet is on, Buy Free Spins is disabled.

Useful when you want to see how the reels behave before you decide to deposit.
The demo runs the reels with no money and pays nothing. The real game needs a Richard Casino account and players must be 18 or over.
Play for real moneyEach spin lands a fresh set of symbols across the reels, and the Free Spins round arrives at a moment nobody can name beforehand. How often it comes is not known in advance. One session can end with several wins or with none at all, and that result is random whatever the RTP shown for the version you play.
Every spin lands symbols on the reels, but the RTP setting behind those spins stays off the screen. Which version runs on this site is shown only in the game rules. Read those rules before the first spin, and compare the version named there with the RTP figures on this page.
Wins on the reels are paid per spin, and the top prize sits at a ceiling that very few spins reach. The maximum win of Book of Tut Megaways is a limit set in multiples of the bet, not an expected result. Reaching it is rare, and nobody can say when, or whether, a session will get near it.
Players must be 18+. Help is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and BetStop is the national self-exclusion register.
Decide how much you can afford to lose before the first spin, and leave the rest of your money out of the session.
Choose the number of spins or the time limit before you start, and keep to it even after a win.
Your account offers deposit and loss limits, so set them before you open a game rather than after a bad session.
When the game stops being fun, take a break or self-exclude. Do not chase losses with bigger bets or extra spins.
Six questions below
Most players worry about surprise costs, so every price on this page is shown in full.
Yes, the Free Spins round can be bought for 100 times the total bet. At A$10 that is A$1,000, and the purchase guarantees 4, 5 or 6 SCATTER symbols on the triggering spin. The buy is switched off while the Ante Bet is active.
High volatility means results vary more from spin to spin, with long quiet stretches possible before a large win. The grid can reach up to 117,649 ways to win, so the outcomes spread wide. How a session ends cannot be known in advance.
The paytable shows what each symbol pays at A$0.20, the lowest bet in the game. A payout needs at least 3 matching symbols on the reels, counted from the left.
The bets range from A$0.20 to A$300 in this market. Examples on this page use A$0.20, A$0.50 and A$10. The Ante Bet sets the cost at 25 times the total bet, so A$10 becomes A$12.50.
The maximum win is 10,000 times the bet. A$10 staked gives A$100,000, and the highest bet of A$300 gives A$3,000,000. The figure is a ceiling, and no spin can be planned to reach it.
Three or more SCATTER symbols (Book of Tut) anywhere on the reels trigger 10 free spins. Before that round starts, one paying symbol is picked at random as the Special Expanding Symbol for the whole round. During the round, landing three or more SCATTER adds 10 spins.
