Coming soon. Book of Hidden Tombs is announced for 20 Aug 2026, but BGaming has not published its RTP, volatility, max win or features yet. What follows is grounded in the studio's track record, not this game's own specs, and we update the page with the real numbers and a tested review the moment they land.
What works
- BGaming's catalogue of around 286 games includes a median published RTP of 97% across 67 tracked titles, giving the studio a credible track record on return-to-player figures.
- The release date of 20 August 2026 is already confirmed, providing a fixed date to plan around rather than an open-ended wait.
- A free demo goes live on launch day, letting you try the game the moment it is available without spending real money.
What does not
- This game's RTP, volatility, max win, features and stake range have not been published, making comparison with alternatives impossible at this stage.
- No desk session is possible before 20 August 2026, so there is no hands-on impression to draw on before launch.
- Book of Hidden Tombs is not confirmed to match BGaming's catalogue patterns; its actual specs may differ from the studio's typical figures.
01
What Book of Hidden Tombs is and when it lands
Book of Hidden Tombs is a newly announced slot from BGaming, a Malta-based studio founded in 2018, scheduled for release on 20 August 2026. BGaming operates from Valletta and has built a catalogue of around 286 games using its provably fair framework.
BGaming has not yet published any of this game's own specs. Its RTP, volatility, max win, grid, mechanic, theme, features and stake range are all unconfirmed at the time of writing. This page uses the studio's catalogue record as context until those details are released on or after launch.
That is standard for an announced title still weeks from release. Spec sheets and feature details are typically published by the studio on or around the launch date. The studio's broader catalogue record is the only honest frame of reference available right now.
BGaming has confirmed 20 August 2026 as the release date; this game's own RTP, volatility and features remain unpublished.
02
What to expect from a BGaming release
BGaming has been releasing titles since 2018 and its catalogue figures give a reasonable baseline for what the studio typically produces:
- Catalogue size: around 286 games in total, with 135 carrying a documented release date.
- Typical RTP: median 97% and average 96.67% across 67 titles that publish one, spanning a range of 90% to 99%.
- Volatility lean: of 59 rated titles, 32 carry a Very High grade, the dominant tier by a clear margin; Medium accounts for 10, with Low and Low-to-Medium totalling just 8 combined.
- Mechanics: 21 bonus-buy titles and 7 Megaways titles documented across the catalogue.
- Top themes: Fruit (29 titles), Asian (12), Halloween (11), Christmas (9), Animal (9) and Egyptian (8).
None of these figures are confirmed to apply to Book of Hidden Tombs. BGaming does not publish specs for every title: RTP is on record for 67 of its roughly 286 games, volatility for 59. Whether this game follows the studio's typical patterns or differs from them will only be clear when BGaming publishes its specs from 20 August 2026.
03
How to play Book of Hidden Tombs on release
The free demo for Book of Hidden Tombs goes live on 20 August 2026, the same day the game launches. That is the no-risk route to a first session, with no deposit or account required. The demo will be embedded on this page from launch day, so there is no need to search for it elsewhere.
For real-money play, the game will be available at casinos carrying BGaming's catalogue from the release date. BGaming titles appear across a range of operators, so the casinos you already use are the most practical first stop. If they stock other BGaming games, Book of Hidden Tombs is likely to appear there on or shortly after 20 August.
There is no pre-registration or early-access option on record. The confirmed date is 20 August 2026; everything opens on that day.
04
What we will add on release
Once Book of Hidden Tombs is released and its specs are confirmed, this page will be updated with:
- BGaming's published specs for this title: RTP, volatility rating, max win, mechanic, feature list and stake range.
- The playable free demo, embedded on this page from launch day.
- Our tested review, written after a real-money session on the live game.
The demo will appear here on 20 August 2026. The tested review follows once we have played the released game properly. No score or verdict will be published before that point.

How we build this pageOUR METHOD
- We take the specs from the studio's own release sheet and the game's paytable, never from a sister title or a guess. Every RTP, max win, volatility and feature on this page is checked against that source before it goes live.
- The demo above is the supplier's real GB build, loaded straight from their server, so what you play is what launches. When a game is out, the desk plays a session before we add a tested review, a measured hit rate and a score.
- The page is compiled with our own tooling to keep every release current and consistent, then published under the byline of the reviewer above, who owns its accuracy and any corrections. We change the date when the facts change, not to look fresh.
- Spotted something out of date? Every page shows the day we last checked it. Tell us and we will fix it and log the change.
