No Deposit Novomatic Slots

Now you can find it online, in a slightly updated version called Book of Ra deluxe. But rest assured that the graphics will still be vintage, and the sound will take you straight back to fond memories of coins clinging and reels spinning in brick-and-mortar casinos.

Read on to learn everything there is to know about this magnificent slot, where to play it, and the company that developed it and lots of games in the same league.

Novomatic is without a shadow of a doubt a company that knows exactly what they are doing by now. The foundation was laid as early as 1974, when the butcher son Johann Graf and the electronics dealer Gerhard Brodnik combined forces to start importing pinball machines from Belgium to Austria. These were placed at pubs, restaurants, taverns, bars, brothels, cafées, and other locations where people where expected to gamble.

Business went well and the technological development soon made them switch from pinball machines to slots. In the year of 1980 Johann Graf decided to form Novomatic Automatenhandels GmbH, a company that is today known as the Novomati Group.

It might not have the innovative Avalance feature as Gonzo's Quest, and it certainly doesn't have the advanced reel layout that we can see in Dazzle Me. But if you've ever heard the old adage "less is more", then you can see how something as simple as possible can also be truly magnificent.

That is exactly the case with Book of Ra. It's so simple that any slot novice can learn the basics in just minutes, yet it's still exciting enough to keep even the most experienced slot veterans coming back to this game over and over again.

The theme is just a backdrop and once you get playing you will notice that the focus of this game is on gambling, gambling and gambling.

Winning combinations are formed from left to right, and there are only 10 paylines. One of the most exciting feats in this game is the "Gamble" button. Every time you win something, you have the opportunity to Gamble for double or nothing.

Will you take your £20 and risk them all for the chance of winning £40? And if you manage to win, will you risk your £40 in order to get £80? With the gamble button, every spin becomes much more interesting and there's always a new thrill just around the corner.

Chances are that you won't be very impressed by the music in this slot, as there practically is none. But the blipping sound effects will bring those old enough back to the days of Space Invaders and Asteroids. At this time, slot machines had very few sound effects, but the arcade games sure had more than enough. It's the typical sound effects of arcade games that you will hear in Book of Ra.

If references to ancient arcade games doesn't mean a thing to you, then it's probably easier to check out the video below and learn for yourself what the game looks and sounds like.

But perhaps you would like to play a more cheerful bubble gum pink game? If so, then Lucky Lady's Charm is the slot for you! No dark clouds will hang above your head here, instead you will get bright colours and cute symbols to line up on the reels. It's - to put it short - a "feel-good slot".

Last, but not least, on our list of great Novomatic games comes the classic fruit slot Sizzling Hot. Check it out if melons, cherries and oranges is your cup of tea. It's probably not possible to get closer to a classic land-based slot than this one.
