Leading table game and slots specialist Play’n GO will help players travel back in time to ancient Egypt with the launch of the new mysterious slot title, Book of Dead.
Book of Dead Demo Slot - Play'n GO Software. Let's get it out of the way at the get go - this can easily be construed as a ripoff of the Book Of Ra, one of the most played land based casino slot games of all time and we are sure experienced players will be shouting that from ringside.
The Swedish company’s five-reel, ten pay line slot sees daring adventurer and noted Egyptologist, Rich Wilde come face to face with Anubis and Osiris in search of the infamous funerary text.
There’s one special feature on the Book of Dead Slot, and it’s as effective in trapping players like Russian espionage tactics involving honey pots. We’re talking about the Book of Dead Free Spins bonus that triggers when you land x3 or more scatter symbols with scarabs on them.
Do that, and you’ll be rewarded with x10 Free Spins. Before commencing the bonus game, a random symbol is chosen. The symbol you end up will become an expanding wild, covering the whole reel where it lands in the bonus feature.
If that symbol happens to be Rich Wilde himself, you might want to cross your fingers and take a deep breath – as you’ll only need one on each reel for him to cover them all.
Note, if you land x3 or more scatter symbols during the feature, you’ll re-trigger 10 more free spins.
Wild and Scatter Symbol | The Book of Dead symbol features a golden scarab and can be found on any of the reels. The symbol provides the features from the scatter and wild, meaning it can complete combinations by landing in line with other symbols, or it can trigger the free spin bonus game by appearing in any 3 or more positions anywhere on the reels. |
Free Spins | The free spin bonus provides 10 free spins that can be added to by getting another 3 or more scatters on the reels. The feature also includes an additional bonus that randomly selects a symbol before free spins and changes it to an expanding symbol, meaning every time it appears in line with a possible combination, it will stretch and cover all positions on the reels and possibly complete multiple combinations over the lines. |
The Book of Dead slot is a hypnotic game that attracts with the ancient Egyptian theme and a detailed drawing of characters. The abundance of chips associated with the scatter and the round of free spins carries away with the head. Add to this the ability to play with low and high stakes, and huge prize pools to get one of the most attractive slot machines with classic gameplay.
Legacy of Dead is the follow up to developer Play’n GO’s hugely popular Book of Dead slot. This time around we don’t get the Indiana Jones wannabe Rich Wilde, but just about everything else that made the first one great has been rammed into the follow-up. As well as the warm Egyptian visuals you typically find in this style of slot, the all-important expanding, pay anywhere symbols have been retained for the bonus round.
’Book of’ style slots might have been around for years now, but Legacy of Dead shows just how far we’ve come. The 5×3 slot is located in a temple lit with burning torches, while hieroglyphics line the walls. Pillars frame the grid which hosts, big, bold in-theme symbols. Completing the picture is a suitably exotic soundtrack that helps whisk you away to the golden sands of this ancient land while you spin. Overall, Legacy of Dead is another gorgeous Play’n GO slot that is a real treat to the eyes and ears.
Legacy of Dead is playable on any device by first selecting the appropriate stake. Altering the number of coins and their value produces total bets ranging from 0.10 to 100 credits per spin. Manual spins are available for those who like to control the pace, or up to 100 auto-spins can be set to power on through.
Winning combinations are formed when at least two or three matching symbols appear on one of the game’s 10 paylines. Symbols must be sitting adjacent to each other, from the first reel onwards. The exception is the scatter symbol which pays from any position or special symbols during free spins.
The gloriously Egyptian themed paytable splits the symbols into high and low pays. Low pay consists of 10 – A card royals which are worth 8 to 12 times the stake for five of a kind. This group needs at least three on a line to make a winner.
The four premium symbols are made up of high ranking figures from Egyptian culture. Here we find Horus, a Pharaoh, Anubis, and Tutankhamen. The great thing about premiums is that they payout on two of a kind or more, while a line of five is worth from 60 to a whopping 500 times the stake. With the way features work, you will have your fingers crossed Tutankhamen is the lucky chosen symbol.
Like most ‘Book of’ slots, Legacy of Dead is not exactly bursting at the seams with features. However, what it does have is super effective at conjuring up huge wins. It starts with the special gold symbol, which is both wild and scatter. As a wild, it can substitute for any regular pay symbol to make a combination. As a scatter, this is where Legacy of Dead really heats up. Landing 3, 4, or 5 anywhere in view awards 2, 20, or 200 times the stake plus 10 free spins.
Before free spins begin, one symbol is chosen as the special expanding symbol. Whenever this symbol appears on a free spin, it expands to cover the full reel if it results in a win. The brilliant thing is that expanding symbols pay anywhere – they do not need to be adjacent. Score 5 expanding Tutankhamens symbols to hit an instant 5,000x payout!
What sets Legacy of Dead apart from other ‘Book of’ slots is that when free spins are retriggered, another special symbol is chosen. It is technically possible to have 9 expanding special symbols in play at the same time for some insane gaming.
Play’n GO’s previous slot Book of Dead is a fantastic game, but Legacy of Dead takes it to the next level. For one, it looks and sounds stunning, building a heavy Egyptian atmosphere though the top tier graphics and effects. It has everything a good book slot needs – straight forward gaming, fast pace, easy rules, and massive potential. What sets Legacy of Dead apart is its bonus game. The expanding pay anywhere symbols are as magical as they have been since Book of Ra first burst on the scene. Factor in additional special symbols from retriggers though, and you’ve got the potential for some absolute mayhem on the reels!
