Legacy of Dead
A 5×3 book slot with 96.58% RTP, 5,000× max win, and up to 9 expanding symbols in free spins. The tomb is open — check the RTP before you enter.
Legacy of Dead is the 2020 follow-up to Book of Dead, built on the same 5×3, 10-payline foundation but with one structural change that matters: retriggers add more expanding symbols, up to 9 total. That's where the ceiling lives. The base game pays the same card royals and Egyptian gods you've seen before — Pharaoh at 500× per line, Anubis at 200×, Horus at 160×. None of that is new. What's new is the math behind the free spins. You get 8 instead of 10, but each retrigger selects another symbol to expand. Two retriggers and you have three symbols covering entire reels simultaneously. The RTP sits at 96.58% in its default configuration, which is 0.37 points above Book of Dead. That gap narrows or disappears depending on what version your casino runs — Play'n GO ships this slot with five RTP settings, and the lowest is 84.55%. Always check the info panel before betting real money. The gamble feature is the other distinguishing mechanic. Every base game win can be risked: guess the card color for 2× or the suit for 4×. You can chain up to 5 guesses. The gamble doesn't touch the RTP — it's a separate, independently fair coin flip layered on top. Whether you use it depends entirely on your risk appetite and session goals. Community data from over 2.6 million tracked spins puts the bonus frequency around 1 in 174 spins. That means at €1 per spin, you're investing roughly €174 on average before seeing a single free spins round. When the bonus does hit, average returns cluster around 75-100× stake — but the distribution is extremely top-heavy. Most rounds pay modestly; the rare ones with multiple retriggers and premium expanding symbols carry the entire average upward.
Key Mechanics
Tomb Scatter / Wild
The burial chamber symbol serves as both wild and scatter. Two or more on a payline pay 1×–500× stake. Three anywhere on the reels trigger the free spins round, plus a 2× scatter payout. Four scatters pay 20×, five pay 200×.
Expanding Symbols in Free Spins
Before each free spins round, a scroll reveals one random symbol as the special expanding symbol. When it lands, it covers the entire reel — and it pays in any position, not just adjacent. Retrigger with 3+ scatters during free spins and another symbol gets added to the expanding pool. This can repeat until all 9 regular symbols expand.
Gamble Feature
After any base game win, you can risk it. Guess the card color (red/black) for 2× or the suit for 4×. You get up to 5 consecutive rounds. The gamble has no effect on the slot's RTP — it's a separate mechanism with its own 50/50 and 25/75 odds.
5,000× Maximum Win
A full screen of the pharaoh symbol during free spins hits the cap. The probability sits around 1 in 3.75 million spins according to Play'n GO's published math. That's rare, but roughly 10× more likely than comparable caps on ultra-high-variance competitors.
