Book of Dead on the iPhone
Playing Book of Dead on an iPhone is a bit of a different beast because of how Apple handles things. Since real-money apps can be a pain to find in the App Store due to strict rules, most of us just run it straight through Safari. To be fair, the HTML5 version is a ripper. I’ve put in thousands of rounds on an iPhone 14, and it’s smooth as silk without any of the freezing you might expect from a mobile browser.
One thing that’s a massive win is using FaceID. On most of the sites I use, you just set up biometric login once and you’re sorted. No more typing in passwords with chunky thumbs while you’re out and about. You just scan your mug and you’re into the tomb with Rich Wilde in a few seconds. These mobile sites have really stepped up their game lately, making the whole thing feel like a proper app even though it’s just a webpage.
The graphics on these new screens make the Egyptian theme look bloody brilliant. Every golden statue and scarab is crisp, and those expanding symbols don’t lag at all when you hit a big win. It doesn’t even murder your battery as much as you’d think; a decent session only drops it by about a quarter. Portrait mode is fine if you’re standing on the train, but landscape is where it’s at for the full experience. If you’re at home on the couch, iPad gaming is even better for seeing those 1–10 paylines clearly. Just remember, keep it fun and don't chase losses. 18+ only.

Setting up your own web app
If you want your mobile pokies to feel like a real app, there’s a cheeky shortcut you can use in Safari. Adding the game to your home screen makes it load twice as fast and clears out all the browser clutter from the top and bottom of the screen. I’ve been doing this for months on my accounts and it saves so much mucking around. It’s basically a PWA that keeps things tidy and fast.
- Open the game at your chosen casino in Safari.
- Hit the Share icon at the bottom (that little square with the arrow).
- Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
- Give it a name like Book of Dead and hit Add.
Too easy. Now you’ve got a dedicated icon on your phone that launches the game in fullscreen mode. Because it’s saved as a web app, it caches the heavy bits so the game pops up instantly next time you want a punt. Your iOS keychain handles the login, so FaceID does all the heavy lifting for you without any security risks.
I’ve tested this across a heap of different models from the iPhone 12 to the latest 15. The best part is it updates itself whenever the casino makes a change, so you aren't stuck waiting for an App Store download. Pro tip: make the shortcut while the game is actually loaded, not just in the lobby, so you go straight to the reels. It works just as well for iPad gaming too, giving you a clean look on the bigger screen. It’s a simple trick, but it makes the whole experience way more enjoyable for some quick free games or a proper session on the punt.
