Legacy of Dead

About Legacy of Dead

Legacy of Dead is Play'n GO's 2020 Egyptian book slot, and it steps away from the Rich Wilde storyline that runs through Book of Dead. The setting is a gold-decked burial chamber, and the structure is the familiar one: five reels, three rows, ten paylines and a single bonus round built on expanding symbols.

What separates it from Book of Dead is a harsher maths model. The base game is tighter, the dry stretches longer, and the free spins round can produce multiple expanding symbols rather than settling for one. Maximum win is 5,000x stake.

How to Play Legacy of Dead

Wins pay left to right from reel one across ten paylines, with three or more matching symbols needed on adjacent reels. Stakes at Midnite start from £0.01 per spin.

Tutankhamun is the key symbol, acting as both wild and scatter. As a wild it substitutes for regular symbols, and it also pays in its own right from two matching symbols. Three or more burial chambers landing anywhere open the Free Spins round, which awards eight spins. Before those begin, a symbol is selected at random to expand: whenever enough of them land, they fill their reel and pay across all lines whether or not the reels are adjacent. The round can be retriggered, adding further expanding symbols.

Legacy of Dead Features

• Ten Paylines: Wins pay left to right from reel one across ten lines.
• Tutankhamun Wild and Scatter: A single symbol doing both jobs. It substitutes for regular symbols and triggers the Free Spins round from anywhere on the reels.
• Two-Symbol Wins: Tutankhamun pays from just two matching symbols.
• Free Spins: Triggered by 3 or more burial chamber symbols, awarding 8 free spins.
• Special Expanding Symbol: One symbol is selected at random before the round begins. It expands to cover its whole reel and pays across all lines, whether or not the reels are adjacent.
• Retriggers: Landing 3 or more scatters during the round awards further spins and selects an additional expanding symbol.
• Gamble Feature: After any win, a card-based round offered in markets where it is available, letting you double or quadruple the win by guessing the colour or suit.

Legacy of Dead Theme and Symbols

The reels sit inside an underground burial chamber lined with gold, with carved columns either side and torchlight from off screen. Play'n GO did not attempt anything new with the setting, and the production is a step up in polish from most Egyptian slots rather than a departure from them. The score is low and slow, building only when the bonus arrives.

Card ranks from 10 to King fill the low-value positions. Above them sit Anubis, Horus, the Pharaoh and Tutankhamun, who is both the top-paying symbol and the wild and scatter combined. Because Tutankhamun pays from two of a kind, he is worth considerably more than the rest when selected as the expanding symbol, which is the outcome the whole bonus round hinges on.
