Book of Ra legacy
Released in casino cabinets in 2005, Book of Ra became Novomatic’s flagship and was followed by Book of Ra Deluxe in 2008; the series offers classic 5‑reel play, medium volatility, and a 95.03%–95.10% RTP. Notable Novomatic titles include Book of Ra, Dolphin’s Pearl, and Lucky Lady’s Charm, built for NovoLine cabinets and modern HTML5 online slots. This refined, fair math keeps German players returning to Book of Ra year after year.
