Editor’s note: Some casinos run modified RTP versions of popular slots. The figures here reflect the standard release; verify the RTP shown in the game’s info panel at your chosen casino.
How it plays
Legacy of Dead follows the Book-of-Ra-style template on a 5-reel, 3-row grid with 10 fixed paylines. The centrepiece is the Book of Dead symbol, which serves a dual role: it substitutes as a wild for all paying symbols during regular spins, and it acts as a scatter — three or more anywhere on the reels triggers the free-spins bonus.
High-card symbols fill the lower pay table alongside thematic premium symbols (pharaoh, eye of Horus, scarab). The Book wild can complete multiple paylines simultaneously on a single spin, making it disproportionately powerful relative to a standard single-substitute wild.
The bonus round
Triggering free spins awards 10 spins and causes the game to randomly select one symbol as the special expanding symbol. During the bonus, that chosen symbol expands to cover the full reel height whenever it contributes to a win — turning a partial line hit into a fully stacked reel occurrence across all ten paylines.
The 5,000x max win results from the highest-paying symbol being selected as the expander and landing stacked across all five reels with all ten paylines active. Retriggers are possible by landing three more Books during free spins.
Is it worth playing?
96.58% RTP and the Book format mean variance is high but not extreme — the 5,000x ceiling is achievable more frequently than the five- and six-figure ceilings of xWays or xBomb titles, making Legacy of Dead a more accessible entry point into high-volatility play.
