- A new version of Book of Tut with Megaways
- More ways to win and a bigger win potential
- Similar design and fairly basic features
Book of Tut Megaways is a new game from Pragmatic Play that follows on from the success of their original Book of Tut slot without the Megaways. This one has more ways to win of course, and a higher win potential, but let’s take a look and see if anything else is different.
It plays out on a 6 reel screen with a changing number of positions on each reel. Just spin the reels and try to get a winning combination from left to right using the following base symbols:
- 10, Jack or Queen
- King or Ace
- Scarab
- Cat
- Pharaoh
- Explorer

Book of Tut Megaways Slot Bonuses and Features
Wild Symbol. Naturally you have. A wild symbol too and this substitutes for all others in a winning combination apart from the scatter. It can only appear on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Special Expanding Symbol. In this game, on any random spin, you can get a symbol chosen to become the special expanding symbol. After the current spin has ended and paid out, the special expanding symbols all expand to fill the reels they’re on if they can form a win. They then pay out from left to right, but they don’t have to be next to each other.
Free Spins Bonus. This is triggered when you land 3 or more scatter symbols, shown as the book of Tut. 3 scatters pays out 3x your stake, 4 scatters pays out 15x, 5 scatters pays out 100x and 6 scatters pays out 500x, regardless of what positions they are in when they land. It doesn’t matter how many scatters you have, you always get 10 free spins to play with in the free spins bonus. A special expanding symbol is chosen before the round starts, and this is used for the whole bonus. It works like the base game, examining that they will always expand and pay out if they can form a win, regardless of whether they’re adjacent or not. You can land 3 or more scatters during the bonus to get 10 more free spins.
Bonus Buy. Outside the U.K., you can buy the bonus for 100x your stake, giving you 4, 5 or 6 scatters and 10 free spins.
Conclusion
Book of Tuts Megaways slot is a new version of the popular Book of Tut, or should I say John Hunter and the Book of Tut, but naturally you get Megaways this time. It’s interesting that you don’t get cascades with this too, something that almost always comes with the popular mechanic from Big Time Gaming, but there we go. The base game allows you to get special expansing symbols from time to time, but it’s the free spins bonus where you get them on every spin. Unlike some slots that also have additional features to help them stand out, like being able to retrigger and get another expanding symbol as well, this one is traditional and keeps to the basics. More ways to win does mean a higher win potential of 10,000x so this slot might appeal to some people more, but it’s nothing to write home about if you ask me.
